Two Weeks

Tonight marks two weeks that we have been visiting this ICU. We really have come a long way since that night. That first night was scary wondering whether or not either one of them would make it through the night. And now Kris is discharged and Clare is on her way to holding her own. Although we have come a long way...we still have a long way to go.

Kris was with Clare most all of the day holding her hand and talking to her. He looks stronger each day. It was nice to have him here with her, but I hope he will pace himself. We will need him strong and well for when Clare wakes up.

Clare has rested pretty well today, but no real changes for her. We had hoped that she would wake up to watch the Utah State Football game, but it may have been good that she didn't since they choked and lost the game in the last few minutes. Clare is getting a little more facial expressions and eye lid fluttering. Not much to get excited over but we will take anything she will give us. She is still in quite a bit of pain, and they keep her comfortable with pain medicine in order to keep her heart rate down. I can't help but think that she is waiting for some of this pain to subside before waking up...I know I would.

I know that there are many of you that are fasting and praying for Kris and Clare tonight. Thank you for your continuous prayers. So much of Care's recovery is in the hands of a higher power. I feel the blessings coming.
