Ok, well it was a very good day for Kim! She was able to walk/hop to the bathroom/shower with the use of a walker multiple times! Another first is she sat up in a chair all afternoon. She really looked good.
Her surgery is scheduled for early tomorrow morning (Friday morning). They are working on her jaw and facial fractures all in one surgery. There needs to be a perfect alignment of her teeth. Pray for Kim as she is looking forward to the surgery to be over with. Pray for peace!
They are hoping to discharge her early next week! The only thing holding her back right now i the strength in her legs and arms. They want her to be able to walk with a walker or crutches as well as maintaining a liquid/soft diet. (This shouldn't be a problem as her friend Tracy Geis who was also in the accident is on the same diet.) So it looks like she will remain in Cairns for a minimum of 6 weeks. She will have multiple doctors visits during that time.
All but one of the Calvary team is heading home tomorrow. We are grateful that they came. Pray for us that we will be an encouragement to Kim as she will be restarting the recovery process.

Thinking of you all and sending lots and lots of good thoughts and prayers across the seas! Tell Kim before we know it - she'll be doing her A-C-T... I-O-N action, action, we want action cheer! (Because she looks exactly the same as she did in high school! : ) )
