Day 5
This morning Kim had a TEE- Transesophagel Echo. This was to check if there was any blood clots in her heart; to see if it is functioning properly and also to see if there were any tears in her arteries. This came out positive and all looked well. They started to do therapy on Kim's chest as well; which seemed to really tire her out, so our visits with her were limited. Again today she was quite responsive, showing her emotions well. A blessing to us that she is getting better. We were told that she may get her breathing tube out tomorrow, good for her because she shows a lot of discomfort with it. I am sure it would be with two tubes going down your throat.! Overnight they plan to give her two more blood transfusion (to bring it to a total of 7) to bring her hemoglobin up. Around 9:00 we went in to say our good nights wishing Kim a peaceful and restful sleep. Again we thank the Lord for His providential care.

Hi Kim and Family. We continue to remember you in prayer. May you be strenghtened in the knowledge that you are safe in God's hands. What a blessing that you can communicate with Kim. Hopefully more when the tubes are removed. For us the communication is still only eye blinks and body language. May you be bourne on the wings of eagles.
