Kelsi has certainly had her ups and downs today. She has come down with another fever. It made her heart rate, blood pressure and brain pressure sky rocket. It was under control again by 4:00 pm. She is totally off all I.V. pain sedation. She is only on oral pain medications now and seems to be holding her own. She had her first visit with a physical therapist today. He came in and worked all of her limbs. She is now starting to move her left arm which she hadn't moved yet. She has been moving all 4 limbs today. It was a wonderful sight! She is still unconscious but we are hopeful that she will be awake soon. We are so grateful for the wonderful team of doctors working with Kelsi and for all of the faith and prayers of each of you! Most of all we are thankful for a wonderful Heavenly Father who is aware of each of us and is there to help us through our trials. Thank heavens we have been blessed to have the power of His priesthood here on the earth!! We love all of you!

Dear Richardson Family, Just wanted to let you know that this past week the group that Kelsi would have been in at EFY has been aware of her needs and been praying for her each time they prayed (which was "100 times" this week according to my son Sterling who also did EFY this week, but was not in her group). My niece was in that group and her Mom asked me to let you know that not only has the group been praying for your daughter's recovery, but also their family did in their nightly family prayers. I know there are many, many others that pray for Kelsi, because not only do they love your family but because we are all part our Heavenly Father's family. Many of those in the Glenmoor 6th ward are also including you all in their prayers. May the Lord be with you through every good and hard part of this journey. Love, Selma Lehmitz and family
