Helping Trevor and Devon McCabe

On Wednesday July 4, Trevor suffered a severe, completely unanticipated stroke as a result of a blood clot to his basilur artery (at his brain stem). The brain stem controls basic life functions such as breathing and heart rate. After a miracle phone call by his amazing 3 year-old daughter Molly to Devon, which certainly saved his life, he was eventually life flighted to INOVA Fairfax Hospital. After administration of tPA, which was successful in breaking up the clot, he then had to undergo emergency surgery on July 5 to remove part of his skull to allow room for swelling. This procedure and its recovery is incredibly complex and, though he is not out of the woods, Trevor is now showing signs of progress that completely shock and surprise us, and doctors are very hopeful about recovery; but there will be a long and arduous road ahead. Trevor still needs incredibly nuanced care and faces hurdles that may as yet be unforeseen. Despite all this, Devon and his other family and friends are completely marveling at his current miraculous healing and cheering him on as we hope for more. Trevor has a wife and two beautiful daughters (ages 3 and 1) to return to and, knowing what an absolutely dedicated, caring, involved, happy and loving husband and father he is, we know he is fighting hard to come back to us.
