Day 52

"All praise and thanks to God, our Father"  Who has made all things well with His child, Kim.

Things have been progressing so well and so fast with Kim, at Shaver's Rehab, that things are being prepared for her discharge ALREADY!  Her discharge date was originally set for February 24th, but she has been given the OK to come home already on Friday.  The therapists no longer see a need for her to remain there, so yesterday, they were getting things organized with the doctors and the therapists for her discharge.

That does not mean she won't need any more care.  Yes, we have a therapy clinic, here in town, 2 minutes from home.  Arrangements are underway for her to begin there next week, and will be going, from what I've been told, till she is to go back to work, or till she no longer needs it.  Wow, won't this be much easier than going to  St. Catherines, everyday for 4-5 hours a day!

She will also have to go back to her family doctor next week, for a followup, and her prescriptions, and then to the dentist to get her chipped teeth looked into, and then back to the General in 5 weeks for more follow-ups.

We are all very excited to have her back home, and though it will still be a while before she will be in tip-top shape, she can always get out and go to her sister-in-law to relax and have some company with her 2 nieces.

Maybe now, after 7 1/2 weeks, we can get our lives back to normal, even though, for all Kim has been through, she made an amazing recovery in such a short time!  Looking back, we can't believe it has come this far!

With thanks to God, our many, many prayers have been answered.

For now, I will continue to update the blog periodically, but as no new changes are made, there really won't be a whole lot to write about!

On behalf of Willie and myself, Kim and the rest of her family, at this time, we would like to say thanks so much to everybody, who looked into her blog, and for all your many thoughts, prayers and concerns.
