Lisa is making GREAT progress in all areas. She is walking so well Bob
(her DAD) has her almost in a jog! She can walk around the entire track
now and her RT ankle is slowly returning to it's correct position. Her
short term memory is better with the help of daily reminders and
pictures. She has completed her in-home therapies and is now set up for some
out-patient therapies starting this week. As always we are doing some
of our own therapies. Lisa is seeing a chiropractor and a cranial-sacral
therapist. We work with textbooks on TIME and Organization, and have
put together a memory book for her daily activities. We are looking into
dolphin-therapy (anyone that knows her knows they are her favorites)
with the hope that God will open those doors. Lisa continues her visits
to South Coast Hospital(sub-acute) to say hello and to give
"love"(Her words). She says it is something she needs to do.
What God is doing is Lisa's life is amazing! The adventures ahead will
be a great novel someday!

Lisa had her first night away from home this past week-end. She
spent Friday and Saturday night with Melissa,Bob and their boys(her god
children). She had the opportunity to see some old friends, go to the
movies, play with the boys and reminisce about good times together. They
laughed from morning till night and had such a good time. It was so
good for her to be with her peers and be independent. She felt good about
herself and that made my heart happy......

It has been one blessing after another as we have been approached by so
many to share Lisa's story. We just did a video for Mission Hospital on
the "families role" in critical care. What a privilege it was to share the
experiences we have had this past year and a half. South Coast Hospital is
also excited and is using Lisa and her story for their advertisements. They
also have put more emphasis on the "role" of family caregivers in what
would "seem" hopeless situations.......for they have seen with their own
eyes that nothing is impossible with God! The things we have seen and learned
and experienced were meant to be shared. It is our heart's desire to share Lisa's
story with as many people that want to hear it. Lisa's story is a "Message of HOPE"
and a wondrous Walk Of Faith for all of us....Blessings to all our faithful prayer
partners...........
