Update on Kristi Anthony - 9/4

Posted by Jay at noon today:   "Kristi is trying so hard to walk and to remember things. It is an exhausting struggle but everyday God supplies enough strength and stamina for her. 
Yesterday she was so tired that it made the day very difficult but today she awoke with a renewed strength. Everyday she wants to know when she gets to go see Austin!
Part of the process of her brain's healing is that she gets "stuck" on certain questions that she is attempting to commit to her memory. Each day or week now she seems to focus on an area and she gets reinforcement by asking the same thing over and over again. I think that this is a normal part of healing from a brain injury even though there is really NOTHING normal in this process! God is controlling it all.
I know that everything involved in this process seems so SLOW to us all but we just need to look behind us at how far she has come. Kristi has traveled a long way and put some real distance between November 16, 2012 and today. NO she is not completely healed yet, and she still has many miles to travel BUT she is on the road and has the drive to keep on keeping on each and every difficult mile of the journey.
I am so proud of her! - Jay"
