Big day for Carol! Carol arrived in the San Diego Rehab facility at 10pm last night and was ready to go to work this morning. When the girls and I walked in, Carol grabbed my arm and first thing she said was: My eyelid is raising! She was visibly excited and encouraged. So, thank you for praying specifically for that. The therapist has given Carol exercises specifically for her eyelid. Carol has 1hr Physical, 1hr Occupational, and 1hr Speech therapy every day until Friday.
We all kissed Carol and wished her Happy Valentines Day and then the Physical Therapist came in. She did an evaluation of Carol and then said: You seem fine just weak! (That's right, FINE just weak!). Carol shot a look at me that was so encouraged and hopeful. Praise the Lord for how He alone in 7 days restores a person from such trauma to "fine just weak"!!
My emotional thrill was seeing Carol get herself into the wheelchair. For 9 days of coma I was told and had to think through that my wife would never wake out of a coma and that would be the remainder of our years together. But today Carol was dressed, out of bed and exercising in the rehab gym! Ps 89:8 O LORD God Almighty, who is like you? You are mighty, O LORD, and your faithfulness surrounds you. -Pastor Craig

With tears in my eyes, I can not express how truly happy I am for you Pastor, and how blessed I was seeing your girls' smiles in the photo. Our God is truly awesome!
Another day of wonderful news!
Go, Carol, Go!!!!! May your discipline and determination be used by God in mighty ways each day. And may God bless you with sweet, restful sleep each night.
So rejoicing with you! She is like a flower which is opening up slowly into a gorgeous full bloom! Give her my love, Marilee
