Kim has been getting more pottery time in! She’s been making clay pots and bowls. It is a great therapeutic way to practice focus and concentration.

Kim got re tested for her cognitive and speech skills. She showed signs of improvement. Not quite ready to fend for herself, but getting closer each day. Kim is also still having some balance issues but her therapists are positive that it is only a matter of time until she is back to her old self.
We are hoping to plan a trip to San Diego some time in July. I say we all work together to have a nice home coming party for Kim somewhere mellow. Send any suggestions to my email address.

Kim has had a bit of a wrinkle in the long road to recovery. Last night at around 10pm Marsha and Ron awoke to a loud sound in Kim’s room. Kim fell out of bed and had a Seizure on the floor of her room. It lasted about 5 minutes. Ron and Marsha immediately called 911 and Kim was rushed to the hospital. She will spend part of today in the hospital meeting with her neurologist. They will try and figure out what is going on with Kim’s brain. Brian injury patients are prone to seizures, although this is the first sign of anything like this with Kim!

Kim Seems to be doing fine now. Hopefully this will be a once in a life time thing. She now still back to her everyday routines.

Kim saw her Neurosurgeon Dr. Gans Yesterday. Gans and Kim spent some time talking about how amazing of a recovery Kim is having. He stated that, “not many people recover from this injury.” She still has a long road, but stressed that Kim has a big purpose in this life to show others in similar situations that recovery is possible. The Seizure was just a hick up along the way.
Kim will be in San Diego from Tuesday 7/17 through Friday 7/21. Marsha and Ron are doing a “test run”, to see how well Kim can acclimate back to her old life. If you are interested in see Kim, please contact Marco over the next couple of days.

Kim spent last week in San Diego for a small reunion with some friends. The event was small and intimate, but full of love and happy smiles. Please have a look on the Kim’s Return page. The Hagens then traveled north back to Eugene to visit Dr. Miller, Heather Wall, Sharon and several other care givers that help save our Kimmy!

It has been a long time since I have updated this page. Mainly do to Kim’s privacy.
We are happy to report that Kim is in great shape. Everyday she gets closer and closer to her goal of a full recovery. Yesterday she remembered and sang the words to a Van Morrison song in the car. This is showing huge memory improvement!! Please keep her in your prayers. And feel free to send her an email from time to time!

Kim had another Seizure last Friday night. She was admitted to the hospital for one night of observation. She is frustrated and annoyed that she has to deal with this part of the healing process. She needs to be free and clear of seizures for the DMV to allow her to drive again. This will help lead to her freedom and sense of independence.

Kim had four more Seizures yesterday, sending her back to Kootnie medical center for examination. The Seizures are considered post traumatic brain injury seizures. We are trying very hard to get these under control, as they are leaving Kim very depressed and angry! Please keep her in your prayers and thoughts during this step backwards.
