Kevin had come back to Sri Lanka after Brain Tumor Operation at Royal Children's Hospital in Australia. But Kevin cannot have sufficient medical support in Sri Lanka. Therefore Kevin's family has got the medical visa for going to Australia on Sept.25, 1997. Meanwhile, the family is applying the permanent visa of Australia. Now they stay in Melbourne.

KEVIN's Happy Birthday on June 13, 2000　for his 5 years-old　

May 17, 1998

Email received from Prof. Garry Warne - RCH - Meloburne

"The great news of this week is that the Pharmacia & Upjohn company has agreed to supply growth hormone for Kevin free of charge! He is doing fairly well, I think. He had another MRI scan recently and there is no tumour recurrence. "

What a wonderful news!!!

On Feb.27, 1998 finally Kevin's father and mother hve got the work permit by kind assistance of the Church at St Agathas and St Vincen De Pauls in Victoria - Australia.ﾊ It is also informed by Mr. Gary C. Ellis that the permanency will be made shortly.

June 16, 1997

Kevin is back to Gampaha near Colombo - Sri Lanka. We met him today.

His parents visit Furukawa's house and told that they want to thank all those who had helped Kevin during his stay in Australia. They are now very happy to find their Kevin alive. Kevin is alright and played with a old tiny maltese dog. His sight is not perfect but still he can see.

They heard before operation that doctors could not guarantee the success of the operation 99%. Nevertheless Prof. Rosenfeld did a 4 and half hours' miracle operation and finally doctors guranteed his life 3 days after the operation. They explained that The Royal Children's Hospital is a very good hospital and they were helped by many doctors and staff. As an episode, Dr. Warne did not accept their payment due and told them to use it for Kevn's medicine. They also told that without the contribution of supporters, they could not bring the medicines, especially DDAVP which is not available in Sri Lanka and should be kept in the frige during the transportation.

They would express the deepest gratitude to all the supportes of Kevin.
