Day 9 - Imporvement

Today has been AWESOME!!!!!! Kjerstin has been opening her eyes and yawning. She also flares her nostrils. Especially when mom irritates her. She doesn't do it on command, just when she wants. Imagine that!!! We can't say that she is awake, but we do know for sure she can hear us. The physical therapist is having us sit her up and work her arms and legs. When the therapist was working with her today, she was telling Kjerstin to lift her arm. Kjerstin didn't get it lifted but the therapist felt her assisting in lifting her arm. The therapist was very excited! Mom is learning how to work the tracheotomy and suction and give her IV meds. She has found "mom-mode" and mom is doing much better. She has to be able to do all these things before we transfer Kjerstin, as mom will have to maintain her tracheotomy and everything else at the rehab facility.

Her fever is down, but they want her infection free before they transfer. The liason from Madonna in Nebraska is coming down either tomorrow or Wednesday to evaluate and interview to accept her into the program.

Thank you so much for all your prayers and help. There is a concert fundraiser on July 17 at High Park and one in the parking lot of Carribean Sun in Derby on July 24. Please come out and help us raise funds for Kjerstin's expenses. Please see Facebook for the details. There is a sight on Facebook called "meals and more for the webb's". Please join this for all the fundraising info. There are rubber bracelets being ordered that are $5 each that have Kjerstin's initials and "God is good all the time" on them. There are also the cross necklaces and her fund at Carson Bank. Thank you so much for all you have done. Please continue to pray as this is going to be a long hard road.
