Lots of good things happening!

Where to start?????


Today we both went over and were there during therapy, she did well during theraphy & she showed emotion and cooperated.  At one point the therapist was working on her legs, moving them, stretching them and she was grimacing...THEN she SWALLOWED her salvia!!!!!!  I caught it out the cornor of my eye and then Jon & the therapist saw her do it a second time.  That is BIG!!!!!!  She has not swallowed since the accident, if this continues and is constant, one day she will be able to have the trach removed:)


Selah is offically in the Fish Oil study!  Thank you Strong's Hospital for being so open to work with us and Dr Barry Sears!  We are so thankful that our daughter is at a hospital that is so open to research.  I've been reading more and more and am just thrilled that this is working out for us.  Dr Sears's staff has been so helpful to us and have worked with Strong's to work out all the details of this study.  We feel beyond blessed by the people that are helping our family! 

She will starting the Fish Oil in the next few days, there may be some tests that need to be done first  and it has to be shipped to us.  She will be getting high dosages of pure fish oil.  

As you can imagine our hearts are lighter, we are just amazed by the progress Selah is making on her own and we have high hopes for this study.  She still has a far way to go but she is headed in the right direction!  Please pray that she will continue to make daily progress and that this fish oil will be key to completely bring her out of this coma.  We do not know what will happen nor have we been given any false hopes by anyone but we can't help but to be hopeful! 

We have always believed that God heals in many ways.  There are the BIG biblical healings ...there is natural healing ( like broken bones growing back)  there is healing through medicine like what our son experienced with his eye implants.  We thank God for doctors who have worked hard and used their God given skills to bring healing to us.  This may be the way God uses to heal Selah! We are certainly  hopeful!
