KendraKare Update - Day 78

Things still about the same, Kendra is a bit more mobile and can use her right arm. She can say a very few things, mumbles alot, but smiles at visitors, looks directly at them and nods on occasion. Still on pureed meals as some struggles still exist with eating regularly.

Team KendraKare is working to relocate her to a rehab/nursing home on the Vineyard as her time at RCHI is nearly done. That needs to be solved first, then they will look into longer term care. A nursing home or group home as she will still need 24 hour supervision for some time.

Emily says Kendra remains in good spirits and is still trying very, very hard with her rehab efforts.

Thanks for all the continued prayers, and don't forget to add Emily, Bill, Artie and Karen in the mix as Team KendraKare has proven to be beyond awesome.

KendraKare Update - Day 64

It has been awhile - things with Kendra have been stable (and us blog keepers been down and out with the flu ) so we have been remiss in updates.

GOOD NEWS! Emily called to share that Kendra is doing great and able to have a conversation. She mumbles alot, but sits in a chair, is focused and tries hard to communicate. She also has regained use of her right arm, though not completely but she is able to write some, at least copy what others write.

They have also graduated Kendra from the feeding tube as she is able to swallow again. During the day she is given pureed foods, and the feeding tube at night. So, as things progress she will eventually be off the feeding tube!

Emily says Kendra looks really good, her spirits are high and everyone at the rehab center is so impressed with her progress and determination. We are sure she has them all at her beck and call by now!

So - YAY!!! Keep the prayers coming, and the cards and letters (they really help make Kendra's days) and we will work to get back on track with at least a weekly update.
