Lisa continues to improve. The nurses confirmed that she is in and out of her coma... Great. She is the fighter. Her hearing is great. The family has arranged the pictures in groups and points to different pictures, moving from one side room to the other and she follows their fingers to each move. It looks likes she is focusing on each picture, as if to try to identify the people in the photos. She is moving her head in the direction of the photos. She is moving her arms and legs. Her recovery is still unknown, however looks very promising.  She is still fighting the pneumonia, however, she is on a new antibiotic and it is working. She is healing from an infection caused by her feeding tube. KEEP PRAYING IT'S WORKING!!!!!!!!!!!!

David will be released tomorrow to the Ronald McDonald house with his father and will be treated as a outpatient for therapy. He watched 3 football games on Sunday, and then Monday night football. He is a true fan.. David pulled his Grandpa a side yesterday, told him that the they ( hospital personnel) never came to get him for breakfast. So he rang the nurse's bell, but no one came to get him. So he decided to walk to his wheel chair, and he proceeded to wheel himself to the cafeteria. He is a very independent young man. Grandpa is obviously very proud of him..

Diane is responding to therapy. Her recovery may be long term. She talks about work and her friends, and wants to get back to work.. Her sisters started to read the emails to her.
