Good evening! 
      I hope that you all had a great day today.  Today was a pretty good day for Kari.  She had some fun visitors, her first kids that came to see her.  (I was reading this aloud and she said said, that is fun, "the Schultz kids are fun!") Also one of her nurses from SICU popped in to see her too, and that was nice. Today we received such a great gift in the mail today, the picture that Praise, our church in Delaware sent us.  That was such a wonderful encouragement as well as some cute cards that some of the kids made. She had a couple blast from the past, really from the present, but she met them while working at Cecil College in Maryland when we were living in Delaware, come and and spend time with her yesterday, and I think that that was awesome for her, because she was good ole Kari! I was really fun to see.  She had a number of phone calls which she said she really enjoyed talking to them.  Thanks for calling!
      A clinical liaison came from one of the possible rehabilitation hospitals and said that Kari is a great candidate for the inpatient program there. The rehab is in Baton Rouge a little closer than the hospital that she's at is, which is such a positive answer to so many of our prayers.  Praise God!  From what we understand Kari will actually be moving to the Center sooner than we thought, Praise The Jesus!
      She walked a little today, but complained about being tired. She had speech therapy and did alright with that.  My mom said that she kind of poops out with that as well. But she ate well at breakfast and dinner and we eve brought her cupcakes which she ate!!!
Kari is having some issues with her vision right now, she's saying somethings are blurred or are double, so this is something she could really use prayer for.  The short term memory seems to be slowly, very slowly be improving, but we'll take it and praise God all the way! We are a bit concern about her drive to do things...sometimes she'll say things...which are normal, but then when it comes to doing what she says she'll do that doesn't always happen.  We want her to want to fight to get better, but she's not right now.  When we encourage her she agrees and says the same thing, but when it comes to the action she has a hard time.  She is having a hard time communicating what she needs and then gets frustrated because she seems to be more aware of what's going on, but connecting what is going on and why she needs help is really difficult for her.  I feel frustrated for her, but as her favorite verse says, 
"Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." 
I am so thankful for all God's promises and goodness.  He is awesome in power and strength and might.  I am trusting Him to bring everything together! Thank you for much for praying for this little girl, it's such a blessing to know that we are not alone in this fight!
I have to get ready to have my slumber party with Kari, so God bless ya and good night!
Be blessed
