Evening Update

I just got back from the hospital. Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins (mom's mom) came over this afternoon and we went up together. She is medicated (wheeeee!!!!!) right now and pain free. She is feelin' fine! This morning and last night they really struggled to keep her resting and pain free - by late afternoon today they had gotten things stabilized and she was doing much better.

Mom will have surgery on her feet tomorrow morning. They will try to do everything they need to on both feet - hopefully they will not have to do any additional procedures but that is a possibility. She is looking at a very significant recovery time. It looks like 4-6 weeks with no weight on either foot (think wheelchair bound). We will obviously know more about this as the days go by.

Kimmy is progressing. The doctors and nurses say she is trying to wake up and everything she is going through is perfectly normal and expected for what has happened. She may wake up in the next few hours or the next few days. She is unhooked from almost all the "equipment" and off all the medication except some pain medication. When I walked in to see her tonight Becky said "Look, she's breathing 'room air'" She doesn't even need the oxygen she has been on.

Zack saw their family doctor this afternoon as a follow up. He is all checked out - the doctor even cleared him to play in his soccer tournament tomorrow. Zack you rock man!

A huge "thank you" for all you prayers and for those of you that have given and offered help. Thanks to those who came and sat with Mom today to give Dad some time with Kim and a break for meals.

When we know more tomorrow I will get some more info out. Keep praying!
