Talked to Emily last night - She had seen Kendra and was there during part of the therapy session. Kendra has two daily sessions lasting 1 1/2 hours in the morning, and 1 1/2 hours in the afternoon. Physical, Speech, and Occupational comprise 30 minutes each, twice a day. Kendra can stand and has better use of her left arm but still cannot walk. Emily said Kendra looked great too, and she was alert with a sparkle to her eyes. (Isn' t that just Kendra, the mischevieous twinkle going on in her eyes!)
The staff that works with Kendra has taken real interest in her and Emily says she keeps giving them new insight to the person Kendra is, and they seem responsive to that while building their own relationship with her. As most of us know, Kendra makes friends EVERYWHERE and this event is no exception.
Emily continues to amaze me with a capacity and endurance for accomplishing things on Kendra's behalf while still keeping up with her family of little ones. And never a hint of a complaint. Folks, this is what love looks like, and we who love Kendra are indebted to Emily's championing of her care. Artie and Karen too, and Bill (Emily's husband) of course round out Team KendraKare. Along with Kendra, lift them all up in prayer.
So - we are at a stable point and it is all therapy focused now, with Kendra's determination the greatest asset to the best recovery.
New address is posted (thanks Karin, got it from Facebook!) so keep that mail flowing - Emily says it really helps spark Kendra's day.
