These first pictures are the night of the surgery when we first came in to see her once surgery was over. As you can see from the picture, she can move her hands! The left hand she could raise up and the right hand she could move, but not lift very high.She was hooked up to a lot of monitoring equipment, but still able to smile. She really wanted me to take a picture and show it to her so she could she how she looked!
A Visit from WA friends!
We are now on day three and Kara is improving. She was able to get some sleep last night and she is gaining mobility in her right arm. She still does not have any feeling from the waist down, but we are confident that feeling will return with time. She can lift her left leg, but cannot really lift her right leg, but she can wiggle her toes. So we are hoping the right leg will continue to improve and gain mobility.
We are waiting for the physical therapy today and for the doctors to come in and give us an update as well. So we will try to give another update today. Thank you for all your thoughts and prayers. We are grateful for the many miracles and pray that Kara will continue to recover well.
