It's nearing the end of a long day, but we think you'll agree that our news is worth the wait! Mom spontaneously opened her beautiful eyes several times today, showed recognition, and even smiled in response to a funny family joke. Another sign of progress was her ability to follow commands, such as holding her left arm up or sticking out her tongue. These small steps wear her out; you can see on her face just hard she's working. We talk to her a lot about where she is and what progress she's made, always reminding her that she's one day closer to going home.
When we told her that Dad and Brian were on their way back to Grand Rapids, and that Dad was wearing her favorite red shirt of his, she smiled and then made the "oooh" sign with her mouth...so funny and precious!
She will stay in the hospital at least through the weekend and we'll continue to work on plans for the best rehabilitation facility for her continued recovery.

Thank you Val for the update. I hope my e-mails to her help a bit.
