Karen continues to make progress but as we have said all along, progress will be slow. She went to the ortho doctor last week and they want her to continue to wear the neck brace for at least 2 more weeks, but the two broken vertebrae are healing well. Karen was able to go to church this past Sunday for the first time in months. She really enjoyed getting out of the house and seeing all of our church friends. Her appetite and occasional nausea continue to be an issue with some good/some bad days, but the doctor thinks this will improve as her hemoglobin improves. After several weeks of low hemoglobin, that has finally started to improve with the medications they are giving her when she goes for dialysis. Hopefully she will now begin to have a bit more energy and feel better. She continues to have home Physical Therapy, but they have released her from further Occupational Therapy and looks like this week will be her last week with the Speech Therapist so she is making progress there.
