Kari Update

Good Evening,
"Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful." ~Colossians 3:15
Kari had a good day in therapy.  She was asked to sit up in her wheelchair and not go back to bed in between her therapies, and I was told she did a good job other than trying to take the seat belt off.  Every day Kari seems to be more aware of herself and what she is feeling.  Today was the first day that I heard her acknowledge her scar that she has, it runs from about halfway up her head to her neck.  When she was sitting up today she said, "look at this!" I told her I knew about it and it's okay, its just proof that she is a miracle child.  I am not sure she completely understands that, or maybe she just doesn't feel like thinking about it, but I know that it is very tender right now and is causing her pain.  This is really the first time she has talked about much discomfort at all.  She is still really tired, yesterday's alertness didn't completely continue into today, but she also didn't have any therapy yesterday and I had her drinking quite a bit of fluids yesterday.  Her power when she stands up seems to be greatly improving and when she stood today she stood right up without much wobbling.  I am very encouraged by the things that God is continuing to do!  Thank you for continuing to pray.  Please pray specifically for improvements with her eyes, a desire and drive to work hard to strengthen her little body, a greater appetite and more willingness to drink.  Finally, as Kari is continuing to become more aware of things as her brain is healing, that she won't be too frustrated and that she won't dwell on all the things she can't do, but rather where God has brought her from.  Have an amazing rest of your day!
