Hello Everyone,
Greg sent the following information this morning.
"*Angela is off all of the tubes (feeding, catheter etc).
*She's been walking the halls at the hospital (with assistance)
*She did get her hair washed and trimmed
*Plans are to keep her at the hospital through Tuesday to monitor her foods/liquids and be certain there are no problems
*Looks like she'll likely be headed to Immanuel Rehab on Wednesday"
Father, as You continue Your work in Angela's life may we be patient and yeild to Your timing and Your wisdom. You have done far more than we could ask or think just like Your word says. Angela's life is a miracle straight from Your hands. Three weeks ago, she was in peril, and now she is walking, talking, eating, and healing!!! Lord You are magnificent and Your power is unmatched. Wrap Your arms around Troy Lord, may Your peace and rest overtake him and may He hear from You clearly. For in Your word You say that a man and wife are one and You see them as one. May Your healing hand touch them both Lord. May their children find comfort and joy in their mommy once again. May each person in Angela's family find comfort, peace and rest as they watch Your hand at work. Thank You Lord God. I pray in Your name Jesus, amen.

*Update - As of 7:39pm
Hello Everybody,
I received the following email from Greg tonight:
"*Angela needs some time to catch-up on the sleep she didn't get while in the ICU. Visits other than from immediate family (Troy, parents, siblings) really need to wait until after she's moved to Immanuel for rehab sometime early next week. We'll update the blog when she's up for more visitors.
*She's eating a little more food each day and is getting up and out of bed to sit. She even did a little "macarena" for some of us this afternoon.
*Troy is trying to help the girls understand what to expect when they see their mom although he isn't ready to take the girls up for a visit yet. Please pray for wisdom and timing.
An x-ray was taken today, but we don't know anything of the results yet.
*One of the greatest prayer needs at this time is rest and sleep for Troy. He's having a difficult time getting a good night's sleep.
Greg"

** IMPORTANT ** RE: VISITS
**At this time the family requests that Angela have no further visits until they notify us again. For right now only immediate family will be able to see her.
** Also the girls will NOT be able to see their mommy on Friday. Troy wanted to be sure that no one asked them about it on Sunday at church.**

Thank You for your cooperation in this.
*Update as of 4:19pm
Hi Everybody,
Greg emailed me with the following updates for today. All is GOOD!!! The Lord is amazing....
"*Alberta took a strawberry milkshake up to Angela and she ate the whole thing!
*The neurology nurse indicated that she might go to Immanuel Rehabilitation as soon as tomorrow or possibly early next week. The decision is primarily based on Angela's ability to eat independently of the feeding tube.
*While I was in the room, the nurse got the responses she was looking for when she asked Angela to move her arms, squeeze the nurses hand, move her legs and wiggle her toes. She said that those are all good signs.
*They may try to remove the staples on her incision within the next couple of days.
*The nurse assurred me that although it seems like things are moving pretty quickly, now that Angela is out of intensive care they want to help her get back to a more normal routine as soon as possible. She's reaching the point where continuing to lie around in the hospital bed with minimal physical activity is not the best thing for her."

Updates & Info
Hello Everyone,
Dad Kohls called last night and he said Angela is doing so well, no one can believe it. She is very ready to be up and out of her bed and is not happy or comfortable. It's hard for her to go through the recovery process when she wants to be up and at 'em!!
** Please continue to pray for her peace of mind and for calm to envelope her. She is having a hard time getting truly restful sleep. She hates her food and her scars itch, and she is uncomfortable. It's going to take time for her body to catch up with her spirit I think! : ) Please pray for rest to come over her.
** Prayer Requests:
Troy is having a hard time sleeping and his strength is waning. Please pray for his body and mind to rest.
**News about Don:
Don had a doctor appointment and it looks as though he will be able to keep both fingers barring infection. He is so relieved and thanks everyone for your prayers.
**Reminder:
Don't forget the upcoming Avon Fundraiser. Orders must be placed by Feb 5th. Please see the side bar and click on the arrows next to the date to find all pertinent posts
Have a blessed day everyone! : )

**Prayer Requests
Angela's sister Theresa emailed me the following tonight for the blog:
"I was thinking that there are some ongoing prayer requests that I would like to have on the blog. We are definately praising the Lord for his miracle of saving Angela's life, but there is still a long road to complete healing.
**That no set back from any progress that has been made.
**Strength for Troy
**Peace for the girls
**Continued strength in her muscles especially her left side
**Patience for Angela as she doesn't like all the tubes and her incision is itching and she needs to leave it alone, she also becomes frustrated with wanting to do something and her body is unable to, with people not understanding her and with having to have help her.
**Finances
**Continued healing of her brain for her thought processes and just general swelling and headaches.
**Continued progress in her eating and drinking.
Some of these items seem small, but in these things she is having to start over. Again, I am not sure how often we will update, but we will be sure to update at least once a week. "
