I picked Rebecca up at Fort Lauderdale Airport this morning. She will be here until Tuesday when she will drive her car back to Syracuse.
Not much news to report tonight... Nat's heart rate is stable and her temperature is returning to normal. She has been moving around a lot and responding sporatically to verbal commands (thumbs up, two fingers, move your arm, etc.). This is obviously a good sign and means that she is getting ready to be moved from the hospital to a rehab center where she will undergo physical therapy.
Please let me know if you have any unanswered questions and I will do my best to post the answers.

My prayers are with you all...I know exactly what you are experiencing, my son at age 17 was in a car accident, suffered severe brain trauma and a lot of brain stem injuries which control everything...his accident was on a Sunday night, on Thursday we were told he would live but "probably would not walk, talk or remember any of us" well today, 18 years later, he is married, has 2 beautiful daughters, works a full time job....a miracle...yes indeed, lots of work involved....yes indeed, but you and your daughter, and your family can do it too...it is not easy and some days you wonder how you will do it all....but stay strong and stay together and it will happen!! You are currently in a stage that can be very difficult...some days the Dr.'s want you to touch your loved ones and some days we couldn't because he would get too agitated and the swelling would increase as noted on the monitor...very hard for a parent to do...I know!!!! Will stay in touch, if we can do anything....PLEASE do not hesitate to let us know. Love and Prayers, the Manchester family
My thought and prayers are with you all. Mike, I have never met you, but I had the pleasure of teaching and coaching Becca at South Jeff. Becca, have a safe trip back to Syracuse. Please remember, I live in Syracuse, if there is anything I can do to assist any member of your family, let me know. I have plenty of room if the need is there.
