Update*

Hi all, this is Michelle, Ang's cousin. WOW! What a difference a week makes!! After visiting Ang last Wed (Jan. 10}, I wasnt sure what to think, so I checked the blog about 100 times a day to see the latest updates, as well as having constant contact with our family. Today I was able to go see her again. And again, I say WOW! It was unbelieveable to see her eyes open and her body moving and lips trying to speak. I asked her "Do you know who I am?", she nodded yes, looking me dirrectly in the eyes. I then said "Its Michelle.", she nodded in agreement. My heart raced with excitment. I asked her to squeeze an item they had given her to squeeze and she looked me right in the eye and squeezed so hard, as if to say, "Yes, Im here, I understand you and I can do it!" Amazing! I was there about an hour and I also saw her moving her mouth a few times, when i asked her something, as if she was trying to speak. I know she has a long way to go, but I know she is going to get there. She is a fighter!! I do believe we will all see her smile and hear her larger than life laugh again.
