One correction to yesterday's post: Katie is not in an induced coma anymore, as she was only in a coma for the first few days after the accident. She is heavily sedated and the doctors will start slowly taking her off the heavy medication as things progress. She is, however, responding to her parents and people she knows by moving her hands and feet.
On to the report for today. The swelling in Katie's head and face has decreased. Also, because Katie's response time is so good, the doctors are saying it appears she doesn't have any brain damage. This is, of course, fantastic news for everyone! The doctors also put a back brace on Katie today, so that she can sit up.
The care at the hospital has been phenomenal and Tara and Jimmy also cannot say enough good things about the care they are receiving at the Ronald MacDonald House.
Thanks again for all of your good thoughts and prayers. Great to have such a positive report to post today!
