Working Hard or Hardly Working!!!!

Things are going very well. I had a doctors appointment and it was about 10 mins long. The doctor said that he expected me to bounce back, but he didn't expect a huge bounce back. He couldn't believe how normal I looked. Hopefully I will continue to do well and getting better. I cannot express how thankful I am for all the prayers that have gone up for me and please continue to pray for me.

I am working hard in therapy three times a week. I go different days on different weeks. I am trying to go on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays. After therapy I try to take a nap. I really like my naps. I wake up thinking I have been a sleep for 15 mins, but when I look at the clock its been around 3 hours. But anyways love you guys and I will try to post something once a week. Talk to you guys later.

Well, I just got back from my first Physical Therapy appmt. at Tishomingo; it went well, but I am pretty tired. I will continue to go 3 times a week until what seems like forever, really I think it will be a few months. I am getting better everyday, and my vision is even getting a little better too which is a BIG plus! Keep praying for me! Love you guys!!

Well, I have been home for a few days now and it is great! I have stayed pretty tired, but that is because I am just sooo happy to be home. I know I have already it, but I cannot say it enough; I am just so thankful to everyone for your support and truly cannot even try to show how much each of you mean to me.
On my updates; everything is going well; we go to Ada on Wednesday for our first visit, and we may get those appointments as home hospice, but we aren’t sure yet. I guess we will find out on Wednesday.
Thanks again and you guys have been great!!!

Hello Everyone,
Well I guess we will be going home in morning. Kimberly has been in the hospital for 38 days today(will be 39 total). That is a long time for a hospital stay. We are excited to be going home. Today was her last day of rehab here at the hospital. They have been great and helped her improve, quickly. It has been amazing to see the progress made in the 2 weeks of rehab. Prayers have been answered. But the healing won’t stop just because we are going home. She will still get 3 days of therapy plus all the things that I will make her do. I am not going to baby her, I am going to make her work. I want to help her get stronger not help her stay weak. We all have to be strong and make her work to get her back to normal. Her vision still has a lot of improving to do. This has always worried me. This is something that rehab can’t teach her. But as the brain heals it should improve. We want to thank everyone for the prayers, cards, calls, and visits.

Well see everyone at HOME!!!!!!

Hey guys, this is Kimberly! I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for all your support. You have been great and I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate you guys and love you guys so much. I am doing great and hopefully will be going home on Wednesday so pray for me and maybe I get to go there. I am so grateful for everyone’s support and cannot believe all the outpouring of love that I have felt. This is very difficult but everyone’s support makes it easier. I just thank you so much and appreciate everything that has been done.

Love,
Kimberly

Sunday, A day of Rest?

Today was full of events and rest for Kimberly. Kimberly only had speech today, which was about 30 minutes long. The therapists could not believe how much Kimberly had improved from weekend to weekend. She was able to rest for a few hours before she had visitors. This evening we went to On The Border for dinner. By the time she was finished with dinner, she was ready to go back and sleep for a little while. But don’t worry everyone, she sent her mom and grandparents to Marble Slab for ice cream. She had to get her sweets. Tomorrow starts full rehab again. Therefore, she had better get some rest.

Went to Eat!!!!

Today, Kimberly is doing great. She was able to use a day pass and get out of the hospital for a few hours. We went to eat at Red Rock Canyon, which has a view of beautiful Lake Hefner off the patio. Kimberly got one of their specialties, the rotisserie chicken. After eating, she wanted to drive and see at Oklahoma City, I think she just wanted to stay out of the hospital. She was out for around 3 hours. It was great for her and everyone else just to see her happy and feeling well. She did realize that she is in no shape to drive. After finding that out, she let Billy drive. Just playing, she noticed that she could not see very well when we were entering Lake Hefner Parkway. The patch might help with this problem. After all this, she decided she needed a nap. I think the nap will last until tomorrow morning. She also had one to two hours of rehab today. If she is feeling up to it tomorrow, we might go do something else. You can see in the pictures she is still beautiful and I am still pretty rough looking, but that has always been the case with us.
