Hope you are well. Just a quick note to share the latest in Julie's journey. First, thank you again for your continued prayers. Julie is still in a coma, but she is moving forward each day which is a big praise. She has completed the first two weeks of the brain injury program and has shown enough progress that the hospital has extended her for another two weeks of therapy.
She has a team of physical, occupational and speech therapists that are stretching her muscles and working with her on ways to communicate.
We have seen her start to move her lips and we feel she is getting closer to communicating. Also, there are times during physical therapy this she is grimacing or crying because of the pain. Although it's hard to see her upset, we're excited she's showing a response.
The doctors took an X-ray of her spine. We're not sure why, but please pray that the results come back OK. Also, please pray that Julie will be able to communicate soon.
She's making baby steps towards recovering and they're in the right direction. I'm constantly reminding myself that this is a marathon, not a sprint and things aren't going to happen in our timing.
Thank you again for your continued support.
