Kristins mother posted....Called and checked on Kristin this morning and nurse said that she spoke couple words again in the shower. But, wouldnt speak for her after it. Nurse and I have decided to put her in one ourselves, maybe she will talk for us. After that call, I found out that Nelson (kristins brother) didn't show up to first day on job. I then got a phone call from Nelson (son) from hospital in Richmond, Ky. Nelson was in a wreck and hit windshield that he was unconscious for bit, that they was doing a CT SCAN. I think, I can't handle any more. I worry so much about my son, this is his 4th wreck. I don't want to bury a child. I almost lost Kristin little over 4 months ago. My car didn't get in the shop, for it to be finished fixed, for me to leave for Atlanta, Ga. since I went to hospital and then his car ( it's totaled).Please, asking for prayers tonight for my daughter, my son, and for me.

Nelson is doing well. Thank you for all of your prayers.

Kristin had a great day. In speech therapy, they offered her a choice of pudding. Of course, she took the chocolate. Here's the great thing.... She pulled the tab off to open it and actually LICKED THE TOP. She hasn't used her tongue like that since the accident! Then, she had a little on her lips and the therapist encouraged her to lick her lips off. She tried, but that turned out to be more moving her lips together. For physical therapy, she was sitting up and balancing herself for a short period of time. Then, she was taken outside with all of her therapists working together as a team. She enjoyed the outdoors, but out wore her out.

Keep the faith and keep the prayers coming!

Well, alot going on today. We found out Kristin cannot come to Louisville East. There just nowhere that we've found Erik take her in Kentucky. It looks like after the surgery in Tennessee, she will probably go to Augusta, GA. They're not even sure if she will be going to Tennessee on Monday now because they dont have a bed reserved for her. And they're having discussions on how to transport her and her wheelchair. So much confusion and stress.

Please, please, please keep the faith and keep the prayers coming.

Things are still so up in the air with Kristin. We really need your prayers. Kristin is scheduled to go to Tennessee on Monday. However, they don't want to take her until there is a discharge plan in place, which we don't have. We've not been able to locate a place willing to take her. The place in Augusta that they wanted her to go to won't take her. The problem is that she doesn't need ACUTE care, but she is not advanced enough not to need round the clock care. Most places either can't take her because of the trach, or the feeding tube, the safety mitt out a combination thereof out they're not licensed for that your of care. The facility in Nicholasville, had said that they would take her, but she couldn't go for four more months. What a mess. It's like no one wants her....

Please, keep the faith and keep the prayers coming!

Kristin is scheduled for surgery tomorrow. She had some special visitors today. The first EMTs that arrived on the scene. It was such a thrill to speak with them and thank them personally. They believe that it was fate that day. They were already in the ambulance and had pulled out of the station, not going to a call, when they received the call. They were in the scene within 3 minutes. Also, the helicopter was already in flight, with no patient. We would love to meet the Tennessee State Trooper who was first on the scene as well if we can track him down. We believe his last name is Anderson. If you know him, please put him in contact with April Lynn Humes, Kristin's mother. Remember, the accident happened Nov 14, near the Tennessee/Alabama state line.

We'll keep you posted in surgery progress tomorrow.

Keep the faith and keep the prayers coming!

KRISTIN IS OUT OF SURGERY!!! Dr. Said they was finishing placing skin back together and go to recovery that we see her about 2 hours. Surgery went really well and now hope/pray no infections inside head. The biggest scare of all, since she has had been through so much and so many infections.

Well, the news just keeps getting better.... 1) Kristin's surgery went very well. 2) The top neurosurgeon at Erlanger is sending requests to SISKIN, a sub-acute rehab facility in Tennessee. This would be exactly the you're of place we've been searching for. She would get at least 3 hours a day of the therapies she needs. And, DRUMROLL PLEASE......3) She had been assessed by the pulmonologist, and Kristin is going to be evaluated for 24 hours and will most likely be getting her trach removed!!!!!

That opens so many more doors for her as far as options in care facilities. We love the option of SISKIN. It's only a 4.5 hour drive from home.

Please keep the faith and keep the prayers coming!

So wonderful to hear!!! Prays continually going up!!! I personally appreciate the updates even though I don't reply often, I do pray daily for her and the family to have strength to continue to the long road. It's hard on all, not just the patient.

Kristin's mom posted
Sitting here as a mom, many things go through your mind. It has been a hard and very long journey to this 5 months point. Many prayers, heart breaks, tears, and some steps forward and many steps backwards. I sit here and think about the 5 months ago when she laid in this trauma unit and didnt know if I would have her from moment to moment. It's a blessing and many answered prayers to have her still with us. It's been hard to make the right decisions that would be best for her. Today, I felt like I was blessed with the greatest news of all. Siskin has accepted Kristin and I understand we are probably looking only about 6 weeks. But, I know that she will receive the therapy that she needs to continue to move forward and not backwards. This is just the beginning of another long journey for her. Now it's the beginning of recovery to see just how far and much she can become of herself again. After this, not sure what her next steps will be but, please continue the prayers, faith, hope that it will be great accomplishment to go home to Ky. where she wanted to go before all this. So, for today, I will continue to dance for her of having a great place to go now, instead of a place that her would have just sat and given no therapy to continue getting better. I thank you to all that has been here to pray and support us through this.

Things changed alot yesterday. Work comp decided they wouldn't pay for Kristin to go to Siskin. She had to go to SAFE HAVEN and April was told if she interfered, they would call adult protective services.

April posted last night..
A late update on Kristin. She was transferred back to a place called SAFEHAVEN in Rocksprings, Ga. We both arrived safely and I hope I got her settled in okay. She done really well during the ambulance ride and was able to go without the rubber helmet for the first time being up. I got to look a little bit around the place but, you better I will be checking out every hole and corner of this place. I have been told that she is now a resident of the state of Ga. I have been set up that I have a room for 7 days to get her settled before I'm going to have to leave my daughter and go home in Ky. without her that she is left alone. I can't afford be are with her any longer. My heart is destroyed that I have let my daughter down. This isn't what she would have wanted for her life or where she wanted to be.

D@mn legal insurance systems and health 'authorities'. It's seems they never do what's best for the patient. Makes your heart sick. Know that you are doing your best to help out and that in the end it is left in the hands of the creator for things to work out.

Continued prayers for Kristin. May God completely heal, may He completely restore, may He continuously breathe abundant life and immeasurable joy into this young lady's life. Looking forward to that day when she will be sharing her testimony with the world, I plan to be right there cheering her on.

Update on Kristin's day. She has had a really good day today. Less soreness, so that she turned head some to the left and even held her neck and head up herself about 15 minutes. Shegot to face chat with Clark, her step father before we went outside to the gazebo and looked out at the pond. Before that, Kristin got to face chat with her brother, Nelson a few minutes and then with her aunt April and uncle Paul. This evening she was watching some TV before they played a game of hang man. She would write a letter on her erase board. She starting hurting so it was time to get her laid down and some pain medicine. It was alittle better today, now to see what this week bring toward therapy for her and start working with her again.

Kristin was doing better today after the scare last night. She's only cried twice today. We were able to go outside for a little bit until she got slept from the warm sunshine. She has a special caregiver that seems to have bonded really well with her. She encourages Kristin to move and stretch even when she's just laying there. They still haven't started her therapy back yet. They're in they middle of contract negotiations between work comp and the therapists. She has tried to speak a few words at Rosie's encouragement. April is still dreading leaving tomorrow. But hopefully, she can return soon.

Keep the faith and keep the prayers coming!

Several have asked me for Kristin's address so they may send her a card.  I am not soliciting funds or anything, but this is the post I took off her fb prayer page.

 

Here are April and Kristin's addresses. If you want to send cards or personal things for Kristin, send them to her address. If you are sending gift cards, checks or money, please send it to April's address.

Kristin started her day out by getting ready with some makeup on and hair band on. Her first ride in a transport van to Chattanooga to Dr. Visit. Dr. said that everything looked great and healing really well. Kristin doesnt have to wear the rubber helmet any more and no more padded mitten to protect her head. She was really tired when we got back and then had PT. This evening she got sick a couple of times. She wasn't feeling good. But, she eat a yogurt this evening, so maybe just a sour stomach.

Kristin's mom posted last night...
Hey, everybody. I know that I'm running behind on any updates on Kristin. I got a job and been doing stuff to get ready to start it. But, I ended up working 13 hrs. on Saturday. But, I called to check on Kristin on Thursday and they gave her the phone. I was blown away when I hear her speak to me for the first time and I could hear and understand her. I started crying, that was the best Mother's Day gift a momma could receive. She has been vomiting after her feeding and don't know why. I checked on her and she was on phone Sunday but, she didn't talk, they said that they gave her pain medicine and she was very sleepy from it. I was hoping to hear her say Happy Mother's Day. But, that is okay. Called her this morning and they gave phone to her and she was holding it herself. And she talked again saying that she wasn't feeling good since got sick. She told "I love you" and I'm so proud and blessed to hear her say anything.

Ok prayer warriors. I really need some prayers going for Kristin. Update is that after admitting her to hospital about 4am this the neurosurgeon called to tell me she has infection inside her head and he needed to remove her bone flap (skull)that showing inside and outside of it. And that her skull bone is no longer use able, that they will have to use fake one. She is in hospital in Chattanooga. Dr called back about 6:30 this morning and said everything went okay and she be in hospital through weekend and into next week. I thought she was out of the woods and doing so good and this is setting her back alot.

We continue the prayers for Kristin and believe that these attacks of the enemy will stop. We are praying the process of healing will be changed to a miracle of healing which will get her home quickly and leave the Dr.s scratching their heads as to how that happened.
