Wednesday - Feb 17

Kristi just keeps getting better on all levels. We were talking to her Doctor today and she has exceeded every goal that was set for her when she came in. Joy, thankful, blessed and relief are just a few of the words that come to mind as we get ready to bring Kristi home next week. I dared ask a "Crystal Ball" question - something I work really hard at not doing - and I actually enjoyed the answer. Yes her doctor believes that Kristi will be ready to go back to school in September - she feels like stamina may be an issue so a light load is advisable, but given how quickly she is getting better "the sky is the limit". Lots of work to do but nothing is insurmountable.

Now that all of her tubes are out she has been able to start swimming and really enjoys that. She is also walking with a walker and tonight we broke the rules as I suggested that she walk (no walker)from the bathroom to her beds. I was there to catch her if she stumbled but other than that it was all her. (and they told her she wouldn't be walking - thank god for her stubbornness it has clearly served her well) She will be coming home on Sunday, just for the day, to make sure that we don't have any issues with her getting around. And, she has gained a full 10 pounds.

Its all good!!!
Lots of love - Jayme
