A sign of progress!

This morning, Jan twice responded to verbal commands, opening an eye and looking directly at the speaker! In the first case, the speaker was Fede. Imagine his delight!

Although the rest of the day passed uneventfully, this is the first sign we have seen of a conscious reaction from Jan, and we are so grateful for it.

We continue to be amazed and thankful for your overwhelming response and outpouring of caring and prayer. Thank you!

Please continue to pray for progress in Jan's condition, if it's God's will, and for continued strength and peace for the family.

-Steve

That is wonderful news. I hope and pray for continued progress.

Several years ago, Jan gave me a notebook as a gift "to capture your thoughts in". Flipping through it the other night, I found this comment, dated Feb 2003: "God never says goodbye".

I know we're supposed to pray for God's will rather than our own, but I have been finding that difficult this week because my own will keeps getting in the way - my will would be for a successful recovery and a restoration of health, peace, comfort, for Jan, and for all her family and friends.
