July 16th, 7:00 AM

Lindsay had a fantastic night. She slept well, except for that small stretch around 11:00 PM where they had shift change and decided that she needed to wiggle her toes and fingers and all of that fun stuff while she was SLEEPING!!

After they left her to rest in peace she got quite a bit of sleep until about 5:30. At that point she had a mild panic attack so Tim and her went for a stroll around the 5th floor. She did a couple of laps and was feeling a bit better but not 100%.

So when my mom got there at 6:30 she told her she just needed to get out. So out they went. The hospital has a garden area with a playground and they went and sat out there for awhile. It seemed to really help with her anxiety to be able to get out of that hospital room so perhaps if you come to visit her and she is not in her room look outside her window to the garden and that's where she may be.

Speaking of visitors, she has given the green light for you all to start coming. Yesterday my friend Jess went and said she was sitting up in bed reading her e-mail so I think she is feeling pretty good. I would say if you are coming at night try to come before 8:00 because after that she is pretty well worn out.

Every day I am reminded of what a miracle she really is. The fact that they are talking about moving her to rehab today or tomorrow when just last week we were unsure if she would ever get out of bed is absolutely AMAZING!!

Keep all the prayers and good wishes coming. She is making amazing strides!!

I will forever be stunned at what the human body - when coupled with the determination of someone as strong and committed to something as Lindsay is - is capable of. It's nothing short of amazing, but we're definitely keeping up the prayers, and hope to come see her soon!
