Kim asked me to let everyone know what happened today because she doesn't have internet access at the rehabilitation center. Over the weekend she was kind of upset because it seemed that with the move and everything else Stacey seemed to decline alot, she didn't even seem to recognize Kim. Today however was a very big day and Stacey surprized everyone including her mom. She started using her arms straighting them out, rubbing her forehead, and pushing her hair back. They put her in a machine that keeps her from falling down hard and helps balance and she stood up and kept her balance for about five minutes, She gave her mom kisses and this time Kim has nurses for witnesses (she acually puckered up and kissed her mom). The big event of the day was when the speech therapist was working with her, she was blowing a horn in her ear to try and get a response. Stacey looked at her and said "QUIT". This is the first time she has spoken a word since the accident and Kim was there to hear it. I want to thank God for all he has done and ask you all to continue praying for us all. Ray
