Created my 2p2 account in hopes of seeing a thread related to Kevin. I had the luxury of playing with him once. Genuinely nice guy, always good humored and great table attitude. Really nice guy.

Glad to see the update to his status. I'm just hoping he'll keep getting better, and that for those that know him, will get to see the kid again.

Keep getting better, Phwap!

Money specifically for the fund raiser is only one way people are helping out.
I would say that the support from everyone, monetarily or otherwise has been amazing and I'm sure the Boudreau's would agree.

Totally agree..if it wasnt for Randy Dorfman $2500, Ultimate Poker $4k and Jon Little $1k pushing for donations by HS players it would have never made goal.JJ $10k! His HS Poker friends gave little but can blow $100k in OFC..classless

The list of donations also have this message from Craig "Irieguy" Hartman:

Quote:
Kevin has been my roommate for the past 3 WSOPs and I consider him and Sam a part of my family...
Jim, Patty, and Sam... while I am quite confident that the people Kevin has touched will come together to make this fundraiser a success, I would like to personally guarantee any shortfall that may exist when the time for his transfer has come. So no matter how we get there, the balance is officially $50,000.
He made that promise on June 25th, so they were guaranteed to reach their goal at that date. And for the people who are close to Kevin and his family there are certainly other channels to provide financial support than to donate through that site. If a friend of me needed financial support I would find it better to make a direct transfer or pick up some of his bills than go through a 3rd party.

You all have absolutely not the slightest clue what you are talking about. Refer to inyafaces post. There has been immense support outside of the donation website.

Saw Kevin today in Colorado. He is no longer in a coma, but its pretty hard to tell what his degree of consciousness is. He definitely responds to some stimuli and questions, but at this point it is only in the form of blinks and tiny facial gestures. He clearly was uncomfortable when the nurse was fiddling with his face and moving his tubes around. His tongue, which was previously swollen to the size of a softball, has shrunk a lot and is almost able to fit in his mouth. He is also completely breathing on his own. His gf warned us that he was on some pain meds, and would be less responsive, but otherwise every sign was incredibly positive. Some major improvements have been: Able to squeeze his left hand, can straighten out his left leg on command, is able to follow a point of interest with his eyes, and he can support the weight of his head on his own. According to his gf these are all things he could not do even 24 hours ago.

When we were talking to kev about things we'd expect him to be excited about (his dog, Dave making WSOP ME FT, possible Phil Ivey training videos) he seemed to perk up, blink a lot, and it really seemed like he wanted to say something. There is apparently no way to test what exactly his will be capable of moving forward, we just have to wait and observe his progress. In a little over a month though he has gone from a very negative prognosis to seemingly improving every day. Even though they are just baby steps at this point it appears like there is reason to be hopeful.

Dani since you're seemingly in pretty close contact with him/his family etc, do you happen to know what the general prognosis is for him? Any idea to what extent people recover from these types of illnesses and what the general timeframe is?
