Note from Alice

Alice has had a few questions on why Kindra is still in the hospital and how long she will have to stay, first we have a tentative release date of November 17th. then to answer the rest Alice sent this email:

What the doctors are saying about Kindra, The easy, but very painful problem is her pelvis which they did surgery on and she is on ton's of pain medications. The harder to understand TBI (traumatic brain injury) problems, Kindra had a small bleed on her brain, which has caused some physical problems. Her brain lost a lot of the information that controls the left side to her body and now she has to relearn how to use it. She is also having issues with her inner ear and being motion sick all the time. The therapists are very positive that she will make a full recovery. It has been a very stressful week with lots of ups and downs and some very scary moments, but we are very excited by how hard she is working and how quick she is progressing. Plus she has nerve damage at her thigh
