Latest News - Reported to Lani from Emily
Lani received word from Emily that at approximately 12:30pm EST, Kendra's eyes were open and she looked at each person when they spoke (Artie and Karen are there too ) wiggled her toes for them and was able to squeeze their hands. Emily was very encouraged but they were shuttled out so the neurologist could do his exam and run tests, etc.
1:30pm EST - Just got a voicemail from Emily
Neurologist was in, Kendra is stable, they are going to move her to a regular room late today or tomorrow.
There is damage to language skills and movement but not sure to the extent yet. Apparently they will learn more when they can start rehab. Emily said Kendra was sleeping and looked rested - that things were moving in the right direction, slowly, but in the right direction.
Whew....long road ahead still, but wow what a HUGE change from yesterday!!!

Introduction
This blog posting is to keep the friends and family of Kendra Frakes updated on her condition.
As some of you know, around 4:30pm EST, Kendra was found, collapsed in front of her apartment, by her landlords.
An ambulance was called and she was quickly airlifted to Mass General in Boston. After examination, it was found that she had suffered a massive stroke. At that time it was unknown to what extent the stroke had damaged her brain.
It wouldn't be until morning, when she regained consciousness, what they were dealing with. She was placed in ICU and attached to a respirator.
By her side were her good friend Emily Coggins and her minister and his wife, Artie and Karen.
