God is always working to make His children aware of a dream
that remains alive beneath the rubble of every shattered dream,

a new dream that
when realized will release a new song, sung with tears,

till God wipes them away
and we sing with nothing but joy in our hearts

Wishes granted

I asked Kim last night to try to keep today boring as yesterday had enough "excitement" to last for a few days. Today was boring indeed. Kim is down now (at 9 pm) for the repeat CAT scan. Neurosurgery came in today and said that what showed up on this morning's scan was pretty insignificant--Yay! Tonight's scan is just to make sure that the bleeding that showed up this morning was not just beginning.
There have been some positive signs. Kim has tried to open her eyes a little today. The neurosurgeon also checked all of her reflexes and they appear intact, although a complete assessment could not be done because she is sedated. She has been kept sedated because the docs don't want her blood pressure to get too high after yesterday's surgery, and it keeps her from breathing too fast over the vent.
The plan for tomorrow is to stop the sedation, let her try to wake up, and see what happens. She'll also have dialysis. That's all for now. Not much news today, but little news to report is good news!
