We want to share an update on Kim as she moves through an intense phase of healing from yesterday’s surgery. Right now, the focus is on managing her pain and allowing her body the rest it needs to recover.
As we mentioned, the surgery went well in many ways and unfolded as the doctors had hoped in some respects. They were able to clear many of the troublesome areas located in her neck and base of skull. However, once they began, they discovered that this first part of the procedure was far more complicated than they had anticipated. Because of this, they weren’t able to accomplish everything they had initially planned so as not to overwhelm Kim’s body. While we knew she would need a second surgery, this may now mean even more procedures to address what couldn’t be done yesterday.That said, there is some good news—Kim is able to talk! This was a major concern going into surgery, as there was a possibility she could temporarily lose her ability to speak. While we are incredibly relieved, we also understand that this may be due to the fact that they were unable to clear certain areas of veins higher up within her brain, as intended.
We are deeply grateful for all that was accomplished, and wow—what a journey Kim has been through. She is strong, resilient, and continuing to fight.
✨Please continue to support Kim and Fam with financial donations and in other ways you can offer as she heals. ✨
✅We also ask that you refrain from calling or texting her directly—right now, she needs rest and time to focus on pain management.
