Our girl is a fighter! She's been stable all day today and continues to do more and more breathing on her own. Her numbers (blood pressure, brain pressure) have continued to stay low! Her eyes have been fluttering and she continues to react when the nurses and doctors come in to probe at her. Leave her alone when she's sleeping! She is also able to maintain her body temperature on her own now! The doctor's were also able to remove the fluid lines that kept her core at 98.6 degrees.
She's a fighter and continuing to make wonderful progress! Every little bit is great!
Continue to keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Thank you for all your wonderful thoughts and notes. This means so much to Devin and her family and Kay will be so touched when she sees the support she has. Keep them coming!
We love you Kay!

Today is a good day!
Today is a great day for Kay! After a few bumps in the road yesterday (Kay's brain pressure increased and she began shivering from the fluids running through her to keep her temperature stable) Kay made some wonderful progress today.
Kay's pressure in her head is the lowest it has been today and her swelling has really decreased. Also, when her mom was calling her Mrs. MacDonald she turned her head to the left, opened her eyes a little bit and gave her mom a half smile! Guess she likes being a Mrs! Also, when Devin gave her a kiss on her forehead she tried to respond by forming a kissing motion with her lips. Such amazing progress.
Please continue to keep Kay in your thoughts and prayers. She's making some wonderful progress but she still has a long road ahead of her and we don't know how long it will be.
Please continue to post your stories and support for Kay. It means so much to her friends and family and will mean so much to Kay when she is ready.
We love you Kay!

Kay's Page
This page is for Kay. On October 25th Kay had a terrible fall which put her in a coma and forced her to undergo brain surgery. Anyone that has met Kay knows she has many, many loving friends and family throughout the world. We created this page so we could all share our support for her through her recovery.
Everyone that knows Kay has witnessed her incredible energy, spirit and amazing love of life. There is nobody who has a bigger heart than she does. She can put a smile on anyone's face and is one of the funniest people you'll ever meet.
Kay's husband, Devin and her family have shown amazing strength. They have gotten her the best medical care and have been a wonderful support system, providing her with all the things she loves while in the hospital.
While the past few days have been the most trying days, Kay is showing wonderful progress. She has shown some movement which is wonderful! Even when asked to move her hand or foot she can often do so in response. Sunday, Kay even started breathing on her own again. The most recent neurologist opinion is that she will eventually walk and talk again.
Through this page we will continue to update Kay's progress. Please feel free to leave your well wishes or even favorite stories about Kay.
