Kevin, the best man in our wedding and our guide on the Superior Hiking Trail, broke his neck and fractured his skull early Saturday morning.

He was leaving a bar in the Elko area and had a couple blocks to walk. A stranger pulled up in a pick-up to pick someone else up. Kevin thought he’d jump on the back and ride a couple blocks to the stop sign ahead and jump off. The driver didn’t stop and took a sharp turn throwing Kevin off the back.

He is at HCMC and it sounds like he’ll be released sometime this week. He is able to move all of his limbs. They are waiting to see how his memory is doing. He isn’t in much pain and he sleeps almost constantly, not because of pain meds but because of the nature of his injury.

We’ll be bringing him and his family dinner on Wednesday whether he’s at home or at the hospital. I think he’s hoping he’ll be home by then. We visited him yesterday but he slept the whole hour we were there, mainly visited with his family.

Keep him in your prayers!
