She still is opening both eyes and responding to voices. She looks right at you, and sometimes tries to mouth a response. I do want to explain to those not familiar with these type of injuries that most likely, she will not remember this time of healing. In fact, every time she closes her eyes to sleep, she probably loses what has happened and restarts her thoughts upon waking. Sort of like re-booting your computer. She is still not having normal thought-processess and interactions with people. THIS IS EXPECTED! I just want to make sure everyone has a better understanding of this process.
Gary Hurd has emailed that "his" Kathy has had a little set-back - she didn't get to come home on Thursday. But he was confident that she would be discharged on Friday, and I haven't heard otherwise. He asks for continued prayer for pain management, relief from nausea & dizziness, and healing of her intestinal tract issues.
Both Kathi and Kathy are taking just one day at a time. Thanks for continuing to keep them in your prayers.

cThe updates are addicting because this process has been so amazing. We know she is under God's watch and also great care from the hospital staff. We continue to pray for her recovery. We have the vision of one day seeing her on stage during church speaking to all of us again. In addition, her coming back to work to continue touching more lives. There has not been a day we have not been thinking about her. We know this will take time but tell her we are patiently awaiting her return.
Glad Kathy is coming home soon and will continue to pray for her and her family.

What another wonderful update for Kathi! God is working many miracles. We are continuing to pray for Kathi and Kathy. Thank you for the updates- they are so encouraging!
Dear K4~
Every day brings you closer to us! Being in prayer daily for you, having you on my mind so much makes you seem closer, too. I'm looking forward to hearing your voice SO much! May God be your strength.
Our family, including the members of our non-Lakeside family, have been tracking her process daily and it is with a joyous heart that I am able to relay the news that she made the great leap, albeit possibly only temporarily, of breathing on her own. What a strong soul she has! We trust the Lord and know that she is being used for so many purposes to bring glory to His kingdom, though we cannot begin to understand all of them. But in prayer we have been asking for God to hold her tightly and continue this amazing recovery. God is so great, and we rejoice at this news. We will continue to pray for Kathy and Kathi, that the setbacks, if any, are so very minimal, and they feels the faith, the hope, and the love that we all share now more than ever.

Good morning Kathi ~
I woke this morning rejoicing for you and Theresa. Bryan shared during service last night that you were able to kiss your sister. Well, girl, the tears started flowin! How beautiful for your sister to be by your side and witness the Lord's healing and restoration. Theresa, I share in your celebration of Kathi's victory. We share something, in that my sister was also struck by a 19 yrd old young man. My sister was a pedestrian and died at the scene of the accident. The praise in this is she surrendered her life only one month earlier! Praise the Lord! The circumstances were extremely different, but the celebration of sharing Christ's love between the two of you is a beautiful treasure to cherish. It is so beautiful to witness. You are both a blessing to me in remembering my own sister and the days we spent together at retreat when she received Christ as her Lord and Savior.
"...To those who have been called, who are loved by God the Father and kept by Jesus Christ: Mercy, peace, and love be yours in abundance." (Jude 1:1-2) Love and blessings to you Kathi and Theresa ~ two beautiful sisters!

I thank God for His faithfulness to Kathi, and also appreciate her blog updates that we can look forward to her continued recovery. Kathi~ get better dear friend! The Foster family is praying for your healing.
