Today was a crazy one. Between the 2-hour Primary program practice this morning, the 2 hours at the soccer field this afternoon, the 2 1/2-hour church barbecue this evening, and the 7 loads of laundry needing to be sorted and sprayed tonight, I never did contact anyone for an update today.*
Yet I still got one in an unexpected manner. We already knew from Dana's email yesterday that the doctors felt it was safe to finally remove Callie Jayne's C-collar, which will allow her the greater freedom of movement that she seems to want. That same day, Callie's oldest brother, Justin, told Sarah the doctors are now sure Callie will live. That was all happy news.

Then I got a phone call from my friend Wyndie while I was watching Dylan's soccer game today. It seems that while Wyndie was at WalMart she ran into Dana's sister Jona (that's small-town life: you can't go to WalMart without meeting a dozen people you know, so you can never just run in and out quickly). AND it just so happened that Jona was dancing through the store because she'd just received a text message from Dana, letting her know they took Callie off the respirator today. She is breathing 100% on her own!

She had not awakened yet, but I believe that only gives her brain more time to heal. There's no rush, as long as we still see those little miracles happening as she progresses!

Just a reminder that tomorrow (today? I guess it's Sunday now) will be the special fast for Callie's continuing recovery. Please join us if you wish. We love and appreciate you all!
