Less Plastic, More Kim

As of this morning Kim is sans the worst of the pesky plastic tubes (ventilator and feeding), and was able to get out of bed and move to a chair to hang out for awhile.

Dr. T and Dr. S (who assisted Dr. C with the surgery) came by to inspect Kim. Both were happy with what they found. There is more improvement in the shoulder, still no signs of anything odd with the facial nerve, and a healing incision.

Dr. T said that the head MRI looks great. Also, the neck MRI revealed the source of the shoulder issue (in short, swelling around the 5th and 6th vertebrates pinching a nerve, which will resolve itself with time).

Kim is going stay in critical care the rest of the day, and will hopefully be moving to her room tomorrow morning. We'll try to post tomorrow.
