Jan's first words

This is a quick blog to share with you the excitement of today:

-In response to a note in a lap top from Angie (her cousin) saying: Hi, Jan I miss you, Jan wrote: Hi.

-Later in the day, Jan pulled out again the NG tube twice (she did it last night too), So the nurses decided to keep it off. Since this is was the only way she could eat, now she has to actually swallow in order to drink some thick nutritional solution.

-In the evening, as I was going for my last visit, Steve called and ask me to speak to Jan over the phone. She whispered several words of which I could make clearly a few: Please call....love...my. When I arrived at her room, she continued the conversation for a good five minutes, whispering something that neither Steve or I could understand. It must be very frustrating to have clear ideas in her mind of what she wants to say, and not be able to do it. Nonetheless. She is beginning to speak!

Thank you all who have sustained and kept Jan constantly in your hearts and minds in so many ways with so many tools and prayers. I am certain she will know of your persistence.
