Ps&Ps July 2008

Dear Supporting friends and family,

Just to give you an update, we have landed safe and sound in Cedarville, OH. After nine weeks of half of us being in Costa Rica and the other half in Cedarville, we finally reunited on June 23.

Tia has been taking courses toward her masters, which was the original plan, at Cedarville University. Kevin has been busy with appointments at the Dayton Veteran's Medical Center. Although the move from Costa Rica has been a hard one, it has been very apparent that it has been the right move. Kevin's residual limb still continues to have changes, and the prosthesis vendor continues to meet with him to deal with new equipment and how to work with it all. Kevin still has some pain come and go in that limb (besides the phantom pain), and he still has various aspects of therapy to work through. After the VA provides a second prosthesis (the current one is the "backup"), the doctors will look toward doing surgery on his other ankle.

Being that it is summer, the kids do not have as much activity going on as usual. However, they do have their friends (and fiancé, in Sean's case) to help keep them busy, and Colleen and Tara's friends from years before still, of course, remember them and create more good times.

Please keep praying for the adjustments and activities of our new situation.

Note our new telephone and address:

937-766-3038 (we are no longer using the Vonage phone number) PO Box 491, Cedarville, OH 45314
Email for Kevin: kreilly@abwe.cc
Email for Tia/general family: reilly@hisnet.net

With our faith in Him,

Kevin, Tia
Sean, Kaitlyn, Colleen and Tara
