KendraKare Update - Day 13 (2)

PM – Update to the morning update

Emily just called having heard from Artie who is with Kendra today. The doctors have encouraging news in light of some test results and Kendra’s continuing progress. They have scheduled surgery tomorrow to move the feeding tube to the stomach area. An evaluation after 24 hours will determine next steps but it is looking more that she will go to a rehab center equipped with nursing care in Sandwich, Mass which is on the Cape and is connected with Massachusetts General. Kendra could be going there by the end of the week if all goes well with surgery.

According to Artie, Kendra was sitting in a chair when he and Karen got there and really perked up! She had a couple of other visitors and tried very hard to talk, and they think she was trying to say HI. Her right side remains extremely limited but the left side “workable.” Again, she is working very hard to communicate and she can accomplish a lot when determined! Stay tuned…
