Our new living room It went so smoothly we almost forgot.  On Saturday November 2nd we moved into an apartment in Englewood, CO just down the street from Craig Hospital. We signed a 3 month lease. We plan to be here through January 2020.  Kevin will continue his outpatient therapies at Craig Hospital. He also has access to the PEAK Center with a host of specialized equipment.   Click Here to check out the PEAK Center Sean and Carolyn were both here to help us move into our new place.
