A look @ the day

Today has been a very busy day for Kristin. She had two physical therapy sessions today and was able to put 40 pounds of weight on her foot without holding on to the bars!! The PT said that was incredible for her to be able to do and that most kids her sizes usually can only do 20 pounds their first day. After physically therapy, Kristin was off to decorate Easter cookies, the chefs from the Hilton Hotel baked cookies and came to teach the kids how to decorate. Kristin was able to make a friend today and spent time with her playing the Wii!

They took all of Kristin's bandages off today so both of the halo's around her leg show. Kristin is being very brave and strong which is exactly what everyone has been praying for; God is so good! Please remember Kristin and Carla Friday as they will be turning the key and separating the bones. This will be a very painful procedure. Thank you all for all of your prayers, The Lord’s peace that passes ALL understanding as truly been felt in Kristin’s room.

P.S.
I talked to Carla tonight and Kristin is quickly making friends and getting settled in. She was waiting on the nurse to come in and help her with a shower this evening....then teach her how to clean all the pins that run between her leg and the brace. So, she will be aching tonight i am sure, but hoping she rests well this evening.
One of our friends asked for Kristin's address...so wanted to post it for those who would like to send her a note!!! That would make her smile! :~)
Thanks! ~Christa

Hi Kristin,
I've been reading about your experiences there at the hospital and the progress you are making. You are a very brave girl. We miss you at NBCA and are praying every day in homeroom for you.
Love,
Mrs. Koltermann

Kristeeen!
Hang in there. You're going through a tough time right now. Just remember that GOD is in control and He will not ever let anything bad happen to you. You sound like you're being pampered from all the updates I've read! Chocolates? Snacks? PURFUME? Hahahaha. We're all praying for you and we miss you! Hope your surgeries go well. I wish I could say I know what you're going through but to be honest, I really have never had surgery in my whole life! I'd be terrified. You're so brave... So what's life like at the hospital? You probably watch TV, get food whenever lol. Oh, and is class in session yet? Just keep in mind GOD is in control. The doctors and nurses are just His little tools. Hehe (oh, and Justin's been bugging me about this, he says hi)
