Good News… Mom called again and told me some great stuff about Kerrie.
 When Physical Therapy was in today they had Kerrie sitting up on the side of the bed and she was able to do it without them holding her up. They did prop some pillows behind her, for support, but she was doing it on her own without having to be held up by Mom and the doctors. One of the doctors held up her right arm and told her to push against his.. and SHE DID IT! Not very strong.. but there was a push there!
One of the BMT doctors said he had to see this for himself, so he asked her to push with her right leg and she did that too! Mom reminded me that it is very weak, but she did it!
The best news, in my opinion, happened when one of the Nurses ( Sandy) was working with Kerrie. She was telling Kerrie she was going to have to fight.. she was going to have to make everyone “buy in” to her recovery and that SHE wasn’t going to ease up on Kerrie. Kerrie was going to get mad at her and want to tell her off, and Sandy told her that once she was able to speak she could call her every name in the book if she wanted to. Then she kept insisting Kerrie stick out her tongue.. and SHE DID IT. Not very far.. but the point is she did it. A few days ago she couldn’t move her tongue at all.
We still have to remember that Kerrie is having other problems with fever, high blood pressure and fluid in the lungs, but she is doing things she shouldn’t be able to do.

You go Kerrie! I am suddenly having a great day!

Kerrie, I think of you daily and send prayers for you and your family constantly. I miss seeing you sitting at the desk in L & D and hope to see you there again. Keep up the good work, keep the faith and most importantly keep on fighting. You can do it I know you can. Through God all things are possible. Luv you much Carol from Pontiac Associates.
