Thanks for everyone's phone calls, letters, cards, and prayers. Miracles do happen. Dad and Mom are doing better every day. Anne has been able to keep her breathing tube out and she is getting stronger all the time. She keeps asking for Physical Therapy to come do exercises with her! She was up in the chair for two hours today and had alot of activity. A speech therapist is supposed to come tomorrow to study her swallowing and see if she is ready to try liquids and maybe a little food. She is ready for food, exercise, and for things to progress a little faster than they are going. Dad is also doing alot better. He was up in the chair today for a couple of hours, but he had quite a bit of pain with his back brace. Their wonderful nurse, Julie, called to see if his brace could be re-fitted. Dad is getting really bored...and I think he's ready for a few visitors from his many wonderful friends. He has orders to be moved to the step-down floor from the ICU, but we're unsure when that will happen. The MCV staff have been wonderful to us and many nurses and doctors and therapists pop their heads in to visit with Bill and Anne and always remark what a miracle they are.They can't believe how well they're doing after such terrible injuries. Dad and Anne asked about the Muriel concert today and I told them both that tickets were selling and that everyone was looking forward to the event.
Please keep praying and thank you to everyone's thoughts, calls, cards, and visits.

Hallelujah choruses sounding everywhere! Yayyyyyyyyy. Another HoCo choir(s) CD on its way tomorrow for both of them.But neither group is as good without Bill and Anne there! So, tell them we can't wait for them to get back.
Please tell them that Muriel is in good hands--and we're on the details such as hosting her well, and making sure folk handle the CD sales and tickets at the door. I'll want to connect in person w/ Bill and you all about that perhaps next week? But tell him not to worry!!!!

I was so glad to read this message....please know that Michael and I have been praying for you and your parents, and it appears that all of the many prayers from friends are working. Please know that you are in our thoughts and are thinking of you and Gary constantly.
Much love, Mary Beth and Michael
This sounds like marvelous progress by both Anne and Bill. Anne will probably get stronger and more hopeful when she has physical therapy, so we hope that her request will be answered. Can Bill work crossword puzzles yet, perhaps with help?
Kelly, please let us know the moment that either of them can receive visitors.
Love, Mitzi and Tom
I was hoping and praying for all of you while I was out of town last week. I was thrilled when I finally got to a computer today to read all of the amazing progress Ann and Bill made this week! They truely are fighters and so fortunate to have such a supporting family! I'll keep thinking and praying for all of you daily! Kelly, give me a call when ever you have time and as always let me know if you need anything at all!
Love, Suzanne
