Praise God from whom all blessings flow
Yesterday morning, when we came in to see Kim for the day, she told us she got her staples (47 of them) out of her stomach. But we couldn't believe her, until she showed us! It's amazing what these drugs she's on, does to her. She has some amazing and quite comical stories (through her dreams) to tell us every morning, but they all relate somehow to her injuries or her daily happenings in the hospital. So many a times, we do have question her or the nurses.
As for her healing, it's amazing how far she has come since her accident. Her insides and organs seem to all be healed by now. She just can't move a lot yet, because of her fractures to her ribs, pelvic and vertebraes, but some are surprised she can move as she does. She can't get out of bed, because she cannot put any weight on her leg till about the 12th of January, we are told, so it's flat on her back till then!
Her appetite is finally coming back a bit, but she hates hospital food, so I still can't get away with cooking for her! Even for as little as she eats right now, but I don't want to refuse her at this time. Today, her diet consisted of about 5 bites of ham and 4 mouthfuls of applesauce, but that's more than she's eaten in the last 2 weeks!
Please continue to pray for Kim for strength, patience and healing.
Tamara, just thought I'd let you know, Kim was very touched by your comment....it brought tears to her eyes! she thought that was so sweet of Colten!
I'm happy she liked it for they were Colton's words not mine. I told Colton that Miss Kim liked it and he smiled the biggest smile :)
ReplyDeleteMIss Kim,
ReplyDeleteConnor asks a lot about you! For whatever reason, he has been really concerned that you wouldn't get a Christmas gift from him. He's too young to know what has happened, so we have told him that "Miss Kim has gone on a long holiday". His response was very surprising to us "To get better, right?" I think he somehow knows that you need to get better...these little guys are sooo smart. Get better soon! Miss Heather is bringing a little something from us...Connor wanted it in a gift bag with lots of crinkly paper. Enjoy and feel better!
