LifeSketch: I'm the last one left to tell the story. KC as we called Kevin, was a little bit daredevil. He was coming from school and headed to grab a present for my mom's birthday and hit some flagstone, first snow he ever drove in. We know this because a friend from school was following him ... his first snow behind the wheel and he was driving too fast. and side to side another 4 and no seatbelt on. He was out in a field when the ambulance came to get him. He had fallen out of the drivers side window at some point. They took him to Porter Memorial Hospital, where a Dr. decided he would never make it so the did NOT open a plug in his head to keep the swelling out. He was bad, almost every bone broken. Lung contused, he was fighting for air the whole time he was on the table they left him on. My mom was devastated, My Dad walked in and I understand said "my son is dead' and walked out. Everyone was there. Aunt Joan and Uncle will, my grandparents on my mom side, I don't think my Grandmother Clifft was there, she was living in Illinois and my grandfather Clifft has been gone since I was almost 6. coma for 7 years. My mom worked and took care of him along with my Grandmother Clifft who was a nurse. I believe KC stayed until my mom could handle him leaving. He died ultimately from turning himself face up and he aspirated, leaving him in total lack of oxygen. Not a lot of bells and whistle in the hospital back then. rom a friend to make sure he was taken care of for a grave. It was all very sad, the years of care, drain financially. and ultimately as it usually is, my parents divorced.
