Kari update

Hi all,
"Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.  Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. " ~ James 1:1-4
Kari has had some good days of having all three therapies.  In some ways she seems to be getting stronger and improving, but then in some areas there are still some frustrations.  She is still having some issues with her vision, which in attention to her being tired, doesn't make it easy for her to want to keep her eyes open.  I also know that she is frustrated because she doesn't remember things, she's still having difficulty finding the correct words for certain things.  She's also frustrated that she can't do things on her own.  She told me today that she's tired of eating.  I understand that feeling, because if I am not doing much, say on vacation, to eat when I am supposed to eat is difficult.  She's still fighting us about eating and drinking, but she is tolerating more before she shuts down, which is a great thing.  She's still on nectar thick liquids and soft foods because she wouldn't cooperate for the study today, so please pray that for the next one she will be more willing, mentally and physically.  She is also still really exhausted, so please pray that she will have more endurance each and every day!  Pure joy, that's what we are trying to remind ourselves, and Kari and you guys.  I'm really looking to that maturity, how about you guys?  
Have a wonderful rest of your day!
Be blessed
Kaziah
