First Update

 Kim was in a car accident on Monday, December 13^th in between 5:00- 5:15pm., in which she sustained life threatening injuries. She was taken to the Hamilton General. It was a long wait from there before we found out any news on Kim. The first we heard was about broken bones. We were told that Kim had a left broken leg, ankle, pelvis,right broken forearm and wrist. Internally, she has a lacerated spleen, badly bruised lungs, cuts to her right kidney and also her liver. She was heavily sedated for the night to ease the pain. The night ended with her going in for CT Scan 

Tuesday December 14^th (Day 2)

We came into the hospital next morning to find out the results to that nights CT Scan, we found out that the left kidney had a blood clot in the main vessel which was stopping her blood flow. We were told that the kidney had lost all function. We were also told that she has a lower vertabrea break. We found out that she definitely had broken ribs, which we were kind of questioning due to all the damage internally.
After that point Kim was sent down to have another CT Scan done. The results to that came back later that day only to find out that she could possibly have a whole in her diaphram, from here they decided that they we going to take her in for surgery and try and fix this. The doctor came in to talk to us and stated that while they had her in surgery for this that they were going to take a look her bowels for they didn’t look normal from the CT Scan. We then again waited for surgery to be over and got back some very positive results. They did not find a whole in her diaphram and everything seemed to be working fine with her bowels. While they were in for this surgery they decided just to take a look around at all her organs, and never found anything else wrong. Kim in the meantime had also caught phenmonia. Kim was than heavily sedated again for the night to help her out with all the pain, and also due to being sent down for another CT Scan.

Wednesday December 15^th (Day 3) 

So the next morning we were at home and the doctors called to let us know that from that night’s CT Scan they found that Kim had 2 blood clots on her main vessel that leads to the back of the brain which had caused her to have 2 mini strokes, which could affect her balance and coordination. The doctor explained to us that if you were to have a stroke this is one of the best areas of the brain for it to happen. Kim is on medication now to keep the blood clots from growing, since blood thinners is not an option at this time. For now they are just watching very closely at the blood clots to make sure they don’t move anywhere.
After some of the sedation wore off, we went into see Kim and she was very responsive to us. We held her hand and talked to her, asked Kim to squeeze are hand if she could hear us, and she did. Told here who was in the room with her and asked her to open her eyes, which she also did. It was just a blessing to see this, it brought tears to our eyes. The rest of the day was just very peaceful for her. As we were getting to leave Kim was just going in for surgery for her broken arm and leg.

Thursday December 16^th (Day 4)

We called the hospital right away in the morning to find out Kim’s surgery went very well. Both her arm and leg were able to get fixed all at once. Her blood pressure and heart rates were also stable as well, which is just great news. Kim has had a very relaxing day today with lots of responsive moments. Kim has been told that she has been in an accident at this point and is responding to yes/no questions that we are asking her. She does this by the nodding of her head. Kim is also communicating to us where her pain is the same way. We thank the Lord that He has spared her life and that He continues to hold her in His care.
