July 9th, 8:00 AM

Lindsay had a really long night. She was up a lot with pain and was very tired when I got there to see her this morning. The goal for today is still to get her up and moving around so she was trying to rest and I didn't say long.

Today will be the first day I will be back to work since all of this happened so the updates will probably be more like two to three times per day instead of four to six.

Our progress for the day is that she was able to move all four fingers on her left hand and up until this point she has not been able to move that hand at all. So the healing is happening, even if it is slow.

When I was there they took her blood sugar and it was 183. They said that was kind of on the high side so they may have to give her another insulin shot. They are hoping once they get her up and moving this morning that all of her organs will sort of wake up and begin functioning properly again.

At this point, her biggest hurdle is still getting all of her organs including her pancreas and bowels to wake up and begin functioning again. She is moving forward but she is not 100% out of the woods yet.

MOVING HER FINGERS?!?! Yeah!!!!!!!
I can't believe how strong and determined she is. I knew she would be a fighter but I didn't realize how much and how hard she would fight. YOU GO GIRL....YOU CAN DO THIS!
