Kindra looked so good today. Her stitches are almost gone and she was in such a good mood. she even played the flute! I was just so amazed at how well she was doing.

Happy Halloween

Kindra was doing better this morning, they have put a motion sickness patch on the back of her ear to try and help with the dizziness. It seems to work while she is in bed but she has not stood yet to see if it will help then as well. I am going up later this afternoon with my kids to trick-or-treat her so I will post more pictures later.

Please feel free to leave comments for Kindra, it really helps her to know that people are checking in on her progress.

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

Afternoon Update

I spoke to Alice and Kindra was doing better. She was able to make it to physical therapy and was making cookies with occupational therapy for Halloween. She is done with therapy at 4 p.m. if people want to visit. Plus I have heard that if you ask for rehab they can give you a map with a better way to get to the room but I am not sure what that is.

YW Visit

The YW president came to visit Kindra yesterday with a bag of stuff. This is some of the things they had to cheer her up, Kindra up it on for the picture.

Dizzy Morning

Alice got to the hospital about 6:45 and Kindra was still asleep, usually she is awake and waiting. Kindra is really dizzy this morning. When she opens her eyes the room is spinning, they are still working on the best way to get the motion sickness under control.

Night check in

Kindra had a long day, Alice (her mom) also attended some classes about the rehab process. They are doing some adjustments with her medication to try and maker her more comfortable. When I called her cousin and Aunt were painting her finger nails and toes. Each day has its ups and downs but tonight
