Wednesday Evening

Hi all...checking in again and seeing all the great words of encouragement. Today was about the same for Jen but she did breathe for about 4 hours without the vent turned all the way on which was good. It is so hard to see the progress in inches but also hard to beleive it will be 3 weeks this Friday. Randy is back today until Sunday...Martha and I are getting to watch little Matthew tonight...reading him Captain Underpants...which is a book series...or rather he is reading to us...brings back memories of having an 8 year old! Nick and Randy are at the hospital.

Thanks over and over for all the prayers, cards, love and support. There are days I don't know if I can go on but, without you, I am sure of it...how blessed I feel to have this wide circle to hold us up.

Shantel, thanks for singing for Jenny...you know how much that means to me...can't wait to hear you in person again soon.

All for now dear friends, say your prayers tonight...Love, Marilyn

Jen Continues to Improve

Jen is continuing to take baby steps in her recovery. She is spending periods of time breathing by herself and will continue to do so as long as she shows continued improvement in this area.
Her responsiveness is also improving as they reduce her sedation and it is great to see her face light up with a smile. Seeing her smile again is one of highlights of my life.
She cant talk of course but my charades training is coming in handy. It took me two hours last night to work out that she was trying to tell me her stomach was itchy. I know she must have been frustrated. But Babe I am doing my best.
All in all the last few days have been very positive and It so amazing that despite all she has gone through she can still maintain her stunning beauty and encouraging spirit.

I love babe,

Hubby.
