Every week we are blessed to have all of you praying for Karen’s recovery. We can’t thank you enough! Each week Karen continues to defy the odds. She is now considered by her caretakers to be a miracle. She is drawing more interest and attention from them.
This week Karen was able to sit up (with very little help). You can see a picture of this on the website. Her physical therapist presented her with a tin of assorted objects and asked Karen to give her the green plastic clothes pin – and Karen did it!!
Karen is also getting speech therapy. The speech therapist is introducing a speech cap for her tracheotomy tube. It allows her to breathe in, but forces her to breathe out through her larynx. She can now breathe (almost) normally. And, she is becoming more aware of her speech! When you first see her and say “Hi Karen!”, she will mouth “Hi!”.
We can’t emphasize enough the power of your prayers. Again, we thank you! All Karen’s doctors and therapists feel that her recovery has been beyond all expectations. When we talk to them about all the prayer, and those of you who visit her and pray for her, they agree that this is a major reason for her progress. Thank you again!
So we ask you to ask anyone you know to pray for Karen and her recovery. Please refer them to this site. It doesn’t matter whether they know Karen or not – if they are moved to join her recovery team, please do! We will add a post on this site for her recovery team. Please add your name and comments.
Thank you again for all your blessings! More later.
