Kim has been sleeping better the last two nights. One pill that they were having her take to relax her at night was instead causing her to have hallucinations and scary nightmares. they have halved the dosage on it, and she is doing better. Yesterday she stayed in bed all day until it was time to go to go to the doctor. She is still very tired and weak. The doctor removed her stitches and said she is looking good. We will see him again tonight and then we may start seeing him only every other day. We still don't know when she can return to Austin, but we are hoping it will be in four or five more days.
This morning she slept until about 11:30 and then got up and took her shower. After medicine and lunch she fell back asleep. She is still having trouble with her right eye. It won't blink all the way and stays dry or watering all the time. It is very sensitive to light. The doctor said it is caused by a stretched muscle and should come back, but he is not sure how long it will take. In the meantime, it is driving her crazy. Pray for quick recovery of that muscle.
Kim loves hearing by email what is going on with everyone. If she is too tired or her eye is bothering her too much, we read her emails to her.
She cannot respond because it is too tiring. She is still unable to talk on the phone because it is tiring and painful. However, she can talk -  she really got going last night. She speaks very softly and tires easily.
That's all for now.
