Sunday Evening

We are making progress - slow but steady. Kristi has been getting out of bed and sitting in a chair for a few hours everyday. She can't walk and has lots of PT work due to the paralyses her right side. She works with them everyday as well as a speech therapist who is helping her get her vocal cords engaged and to swallow. Still struggling to strengthen her lungs - they remain partially collapsed but they should open up as she gets stronger and is able to move more. Her spirits are pretty good - sometimes I think that she remembers a lot but other times not so much. We have been reading the news on-line and working on Sudoku. Her goal is to be walking a few steps by herself by her birthday(a week from today) It is amazing how weak she has gotten in 3 weeks! Hard work, patience and prayers!! Love you! Jayme

  1. So happy to hear the new of the vent coming out and of the progress in PT. My mom has such high respest for PT. She had a stroke a few years ago and had to learn to walk again. She had full recovery thanks to the PT team. They are the most patient and persistant individuals on earth. Keep an eye on my FB as I will be posting video of Nathan's dance performance soon. Very inspiring clips from these kids. Keep up the good work Kristi :)
