Kristin Feels Your Prayers!

It seems that Kristin gets better with time! Each day I walk in her hospital room her spirits seem brighter and her body appears to be less tense. Amen to that. She's even able to get up out of the bed a little more frequently to venture out a few steps.

Yesterday was a busy day for Kristin. She had a couple of tests done, one including a swallowing test (that one did not go so well), another was an MRI, which did go well. Initially Kristin was thinking she would have a hard time doing the MRI considering she hadn't been able to lay flat since her surgery. However, by the grace of God, she handled it just fine.

Kristin was also busy writing a letter to her mom and sending a few of us text messages. Yes you heard correctly, she may not be able to talk much but it didn't stop her from expressing her love and appreciation. Her letter and text messages were to reassure us all that she loved us and that she was trying hard for all of us to get better. And she was sure to let us know to tell others that as well. So thank you from Kristin to you!

Today is another day of activity for Kristin. She will start speech therapy today, which should be pretty painless. She also will begin swallowing exercises this afternoon, so let's keep our fingers crossed that that goes well. After recovery in the hospital, she will be off to NIH for a week of intense rehab, which will help her get back to normal.

Kristin said something very touching during my last visit with her. When we spoke of all the prayers and support she had during this time, she smiled. She then said "I can feel it. I can feel the prayers". This is amazing and beautiful at the same time. We already know how powerful prayer is, but the fact that our prayers are reaching her in this way........absolutely touching!

Keep up the prayers and support. The updates will continue. It wont be long before Kristin is giving these updates herself.

Blessings!
