Here we are a couple of days away from our anniversary, and Barbara just seems to improve everyday. She is moving more and more (she managed to kick her left leg 10 times for physical therapy this morning). Her disposition has been good, and she seems mostly upbeat. She occasionally moves her arms and legs on her own, too. We were a tad bit concerned that in a regular room, she might not get the level of care that she needs at her present level of disability. However, she is next to the nurses station, and they seem to respond quickly to things like her vent tube popping off (I had no idea this could happen - but I guess its fairly common - it sure has happened to Barbara a lot).
Now, with all of that stuff in mind, I think we all need to pray for Jackie today. Just look what she's done while whiling away the hours here: click here.
Yes, that is Jackie's face.
Seriously, please continue to pray that Barbara can stave off all threat of new infections, and that her body and mind grows stronger every day.
Peace on earth.

i'm glad to hear that things are getting better. it's good to know that jackie is putting all that education to use as an elf! but seriously, you guys are in my prayers (and that of everyone at my church).
Greg--It's good to read that Barbara continues to move her arms and legs on her own. I was concerned about her care in a regular room too because Mom's care declined at that point due to a shortage in staff. I'm glad that Barbara's care remains good. We're glad Jackie can take time out for the release of some fun. We all need that. We will continue to pray that Barbara will avoid any further infections and that her mind and body will improve each day. May all of you remain strong,healthy and energetic too.---Gene and Marcia
