End of day update for Friday, January 11
Kim’s physical therapist, the alluring and dynamic Brandon (just for you, Shannon) asked her to walk 170 feet today, so naturally Kim did 470 instead. Her loop around the ICU resembled an Indy 500 victory lap, complete with cheering fans and a winner’s medal (the nurses made her one on gold paper and pinned it to her chest). In short, she rocked it and the fans went wild.
She also passed her barium swallow test with flying colors and celebrated with her first real food in a month: meatloaf, mac ‘n cheese, sherbet and ice tea. Her CT scan showed a bit of fluid buildup around her heart, but not enough to be overly concerned about. They’ll keep an eye on it over the weekend, but the team doesn’t feel like it’s going to impede her progress at all. Personally I think they’re just using it as an excuse to keep Kim around a bit longer since they’ve all fallen hard for her.
More tomorrow!
