1:30 CST - Just talked to Emily - she said Kendra is doing even better than yesterday! She is still in ICU but they will move her later today to a room. Emily had brought her several cards from friends at the Gazette and Kendra made much effort to open and look at them. Emily says her right side is very weak, and she cannot speak but she was able to stand up, and they now have her sitting in a chair. Emily was at lunch as the medical staff had shooed them out to be able to complete some evaluations and bring in a physical therapist.
Emily said that Kendra is working really hard at movement and trying to communicate, like "she wants to show us what she can do!"
I know this is a given, but Emily asked that people keep praying, not to stop! And send a few out for Emily, Artie and Karen too - I am hereby dubbing them Team KendraKare and know that everyone is thankful for them. Oh and add Bill, Emily's husband, who is keeping track of their kids ( 5 year old boy and twin toddler girls!!) while Emily is caring for Kendra.
Stand firm in faith that with God all things are possible and His power is not limited by anything. Pray hard, pray BIG!

ReplyDeleteLenore said.... Praying for Kendra and ALL the wonderful angels that are caring for her. I know God has a purpose for ALL things and sometimes we do NOT understand, but He is always loving, always faithful and always there when we need Him. Rom 8:28-29 Not sure how to get this to post!
