Happy belated Thanksgiving, everyone.
I am sorry to have taken so long to send you this Stacey report. I was down in Corpus this past Tuesday and Wednesday and then up to Huntsville for Thanksgiving with my folks, and just returned home this afternoon (Saturday). Stacey is OUT of the comma!!!!!!! She emerged from it last Sunday. Needless to say, Carolyn and John are just beside themselves. While I was with them on Wed. morning, I was able to watch Stacey in her rehab and got to see her write her name with her left hand. She also, just before I arrived, said "Momma". Guess What? I have really seem firsthand the miracle that we have all been praying for. I must admit that I was somewhat teary-eyed watching this precious little girl do things that no one was sure that she would ever do again. But, there is still a long way to go. Stacey's right arm is just kind of hanging from muscle atrophy. And, it is giving her a lot of pain. (The good thing is that now she can tell the doctors where the pain is located!) Also, it is going to take several more months of rehab before she can go home. So, keep the prayers going. As I entered the room, there was a man there who was leaving. Last December, he was in an accident that left him in the same shape as Stacey. But now, he is fully recovered. He came to the hospital because he had seen an article in the Corpus Christi newspaper about Stacey. He said that he felt that he just needed to let the family know that there really is hope and that you really can fully recover. WOW! Does God have a sense of timing or what? Carolyn wants everyone to know how much she loves you all and appreciates your concern and your prayers. The hospital let them use a large room for Thanksgiving Day dinner. They were even going to let Stacey have some of the food with them. Talk about a Thanksgiving? Folks, I must tell you that this has been exciting for me to see this miracle unfold. I have enjoyed hearing from Carolyn and being able to report these things to all of you. I wish that all of you could get to go and see these people that we have all prayed for these past few months. It has been quite an emotional deal for me to have seen a child that no one was sure would even live and now see her awake and recognizing people around her and laughing and crying and writing her name. Thanks for what you have done for her through your prayers. And thanks for allowing me to send you these updates and to be your eyes and ears. But, as I said earlier, we don't stop here. It's not over until Stacey is 100%, and she will be! I will stay in touch with Carolyn and keep you updated. We do have much to be thankful for this year. So, let's thank Him who is the giver of all the good and perfect gifts, even life itself! Be Blessed! Kent
