PLEASE SEE THE PRIVACY STATEMENT POSTED AUG. 20, 2007 BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO USE INFORMATION LISTED IN THIS BLOG .

Kelsi's progress is now sufficiently healed that she is being moved to a different facility to prepare for the start of the process of rehabilitation. She may not quite be ready for the rigorous therapy in the rehab center, but she is close enough to prepare for it. Due to the need for privacy, this location of the facility is not being listed on this blog.

Currently Kelsi seems to be able to respond to new simple commands each day and her body has enough strength to sit up when assisted with balance and to stand with a great deal of assistance (she has strong legs). She had a visit from a dear friend yesterday and her body motions and facial expressions seemed to indicate that she may have recognized her voice and possibly her face. We are not yet certain how clear her vision may be due to some swelling around her optic nerves. Each day she seems to gain greater awareness of her surroundings and is also slightly more interactive. She seems to have a great deal of control over each of her limbs. Currently she struggles with moving her right arm. She has given small indications that she at least knows a little about what is happening in her surroundings. Call it semi-concious or whatever, it all seems like a great answer to all the prayers and faith being exerted by many people on her behalf.
