As Kris packed up the car, I helped her get ready for the day one last time here at the hospital, we said goodbye to the staff, and she walked out. Clare was beaming! I can't imagine how good it feels to finally be going home.

As my dad and I thought over Kris and Clare's first year of marriage, we decided that they deserve a do-over. The day after they got married Kris went to the police academy and Clare lived part time at my parents' house for a couple months and this accident happened and took up another 3 months....so that being said, let's hear three cheers for the Newlyweds :)
As excited as we are for Clare to reach this new milestone and start recovering at home, she does have a lot of challenges ahead of her. As Kris is working, Clare will need lots of help from her loved ones who can stay with her as he works his graveyard shifts until she can take care of herself on her own. Over these next few weeks and months, it would be helpful to know what resources we have to help with this. How blessed we have been to have such supportive family and friends. As always, thank you for all your love and prayers.
We are so happy you guys are at home and together again!!! You continue to amaze us with your progress and determination. We love you and are so happy to see you out of the hospital.

It is amazing to hear about the way Kris and Clare are with each other during this time. This could be a breaking point in a newlywed's relationship as it is hard enough when things are normal. It seems as though they are a strength to each other. I cried at the beginning when a post mentioned how her heart rate would go up anytime Kris's name was said near her while she was in a coma. Even then, their bond was firm. I pray that they will both continue to recover fully. God bless.

ReplyDeleteYAY for Clare and Kris to finally be able to be together in their home again. It's so fun to read the way they are with each other, and the love they have for each other. I can only imagin how excited both of them were to get Clare out of the hospital. I understand your concerns as to Clare's well being however They have had three months of their life together interupted because of the accident and their going to need time alone together to heal.Best of Luck to Kris and Clare in the Future. You both are Amazing..
ReplyDeleteOur prayers have been answered! Kris and Clare are walking miracles thanks to medical technology and our loving Father in Heaven. God bless them in the months ahead.
ReplyDeleteSo Happy for the good news. Keep up the good work. :-)
ReplyDeleteI met Clare and Kris while Clare was still in the ICU at UVRMC. My grandma was in the room next to her and I was so inspired by her story and stopped in to say hello to her whenever I was there visiting. My grandma got moved to UVSH and just a week or two later, so did Clare, again to the room next door. I continued to visit her until my grandma passed away. A nurse at UVSH gave me this blog address and I have been following her progress. She will probably never remember who I was but I will never forget her and her inspiring and touching story. I am grateful that our paths crossed and feel blessed to have been able to visit with her on occasion and feel her beautiful, strong spirit. She and Kris are both heroes to me. My thoughts and prayers are with Clare and Kris and your family as they both continue down the path to a full recovery.
