Over a lovely dinner of seafood pie this evening, John told us that today has brought some encouraging news about Vanessa. She has been out of the coma off and on the last two days and is very aware. The breathing tube has been removed and a temporary tracheotomy was performed yesterday. Because her jaw is so badly shattered, she will have repair done on that at the beginning of next week. She shows great strength and her vital signs are strong. Ah, youth.
There still remains the fact that her right eye is heavily damaged - the socket is fractured and the muscles behind the eye, as well. There is a lot of delicate surgery to come for that repair. Next will be repair to her skull to repair the many breaks. We learned today that there are no visible facial cuts. The large one within her scalp is already healing very well.
We are very relieved with all this news, and are certain the all the prayers and positive thoughts have played a large role in Vanessa's recovery so far. A very humble than you to you all!
We are having a little Easter dinner tomorrow and will hope the sun shines so we can spend some time in our church....nature! We have so much for which to be grateful. May your day bring sun shining on you all!

Such wonderful news!
Yes, indeed, this is good new.
Happy Easter!
So glad to hear she is improving... wishing you a wonderful Easter ♥
WONDERFUL NEW!! Perhaps along with Easter comes extra healing powers. I certainly would like to believe that!. We are having the kids over for Easter Dinner and hopefully our Easter Egg Hunt in the front yard as usual, but the sky is rather dark so we will move it upstairs. We'll just have to go with the flow. Hope your little family has a great dinner! ...debbie

Adding my prayers for Vanessa.

Thank you so much to everyone for all the love and wishes. I am behind on everything as this situation and some others are consuming a lot of my time.
Your thoughts rare keeping us all going.
Love to everyone!
