Kari Update

Good Afternoon,
I hope you are all having a beautiful afternoon.  Where we are is extremely sunny and beautiful out.  Where Kari's room is I can see Palm Trees blowing in the wind, just so wonderful what God's creation does, whether it was planned or not.  Yesterday Kari had a short session of therapy and the tech said she walked.  I asked how far she had walked and Kari said, "far enough."  This afternoon after church I read to the following verses... 
"Do everything readily and cheerfully—no bickering, no second-guessing allowed! Go out into the world uncorrupted, a breath of fresh air in this squalid and polluted society. Provide people with a glimpse of good living and of the living God. Carry the light-giving Message into the night so I'll have good cause to be proud of you on the day that Christ returns. You'll be living proof that I didn't go to all this work for nothing." ~Philippians 2:14-16   
She understood that word, accepted and remembered that she has to work hard in therapy, not complain about having to get up, having to eat and drink.  After I was done talking she said that she wanted to pray and I just prayed for everything that I have noticed she has been frustrated with.  One of the things I noticed she was frustrated with today is not being able to find the right word.  Sometimes she gets stuck on certain words, like "toilet paper" or "bathroom" for everything.  Kari has been less impulsive lately, which makes many things so much easier, whether it is being able to sleep all night when it's our shift, or trying to make her drink or eat.  She also doesn't just blurt stuff out.  Even though the blurting stuff was fun, because that's so not her, I am glad to see that God has helped that filter come back a bit!!!  She is improving everyday, she seems to be getting stronger.  She still has her upper body strength, but her little legs have atrophied a bit.  Every time i pray for her I touch her skinny little legs.  Thank you for remembering to pray for Kari, I know that God is honoring those prayers.  Please continuing to pray for her vision, strength in her legs, better balance and the ability to find the words and things she is trying to say.  Thank you, thank you!  I pray that you all have a beautiful rest of your day!
Be blessed
Kaziah
