Alexis Evans Update
ALEXIS UPDATE: September 29, 2022
Journal Entry by Kathy Evans — MOM
Over the last two weeks Alexis has been very busy with therapy, medical appointments and social activities. About two weeks ago, She attended the church service at Messiah Lutheran. This was the first time she has been to church since before the accident. It was quite emotional and yes her mother cried. Pastor Bob introduced her to the congregation and everyone gave her a standing ovation. She was introduced as a miracle and a true inspiration. I was taken back by the many people who told us they had been following Alexis's story and how they continue to pray for her. One congregational member even told her that she has made a real difference in their life and faith. I was so touched and overwhelmed with appreciation from all who shared their love stories with us. As Alexis moves from her "out-of-network" doctors to her "in-network" doctors, it seems as though she has a doctor's appointment every-other-day. She began with "out-of-network" doctors because the accident led first responders to take her to the closest trauma center. Now Alexis has a doctor for every need, so the level of care is thorough and often involves films. During the appointment barrage, Alexis found time to attend Disneyland, a movie and an Angel Game. We attended the Angel Game on the night of the Mike Trout Bobblehead give-away. This may have been the first time we were ever late to a game. When we arrived we were told they were out of Bobbleheads. We were very sad, until later into the 3rd inning, I noticed a woman who had three in a bag. I approached her and offered her some cash for one of them, but the kind woman handed me the doll and said, "please just take it, I have a son with autism....." Throughout this journey I have been so impressed with the kindness of the human spirit. It has given me a sense of hope and renewed faith in people. By the way, Mike Trout hit a home-run and the Angels beat the Seattle Mariners. The family attended Disneyland last Friday evening. Alexis enjoyed the Halloween decor and shopping for sweets in California Adventure. Yesterday, she went to Disneyland with her dad and physical therapists. The goal was to practice transferring her from wheelchair to some of the rides. It was successful and she had a great time. I want to thank all the people that continue to support Alexis spiritually and in every other way.
