My mom is moving all of her limbs! Just like I could not explain the pain we felt last week I can't explain the joy we have this week. She had her neck fixed last Tuesday and had her jaw fixed yesterday. She will get a trachyotomy put in on Friday as long as her neck has healed enough. She focuses on you when you talk and seems to know who you are. She will also follow commands as long as she is not to drugged. They had to sedate her and tie her arms down today because she was moving so much and trying to rip out her ventilator. We still don't know what the damage to her mentality will be but things look so good right now. It is truly a miracle. One week ago today the doctors gave us almost no hope and we thought that we would be making more permanent decisions. It is amazing the power that prayer and faith have. Thank you all so much for your thoughts, prayers and love. I will continue to keep her progress on the blog it's easier than making phone calls. We love you all!!
PS - I put some new pics of the boys on. I am so grateful that I had them to come home to. It made my days so much better because no matter how I felt they are always happy and smiling. Thank heavens for small blessings.

Sadie, we are so happy to hear that your mother's condition is improving! I can only imagine the joy you are feeling now compared to the sorrow of just a week ago. She's getting better!!

Morg & I are going to the temple on Thursday & will include your family on the prayer roll. We love you guys!

You are blessed to have two such beautiful little boys who remind us of the joys and love of life! It is so fragile.
