It was one week ago today...

that Ken and Deanna were in a traumatic car accident. Mom says that it feels like a month, but considering that Dad has been showing signs of improvement every day since Tuesday or Wednesday, we are counting our blessings with each passing moment.

Todays update: Cindy said that Dad is less agitated, more more sleepy and tired. Through his labored speech, he kept saying "I'm so concerned". They couldn't really get out of him what his concern was, but it's likely that he's finally able to understand the situation and where he is (meaning, the hospital). When Mom explained about the travel insurance, he was surprised and seemed relieved. Can you imagine laying in that hospital bed and knowing the enormity of the potential financial obligations??

He was also concerned about Mom and where she is staying and how she is being taken care of. Mom was feeding him real food for the first time- Mashed Potatoes. He was actually chewing the food and seemed to be enjoying it.

As mentioned before, his speech is very labored but there is actual thought and understanding behind it. Very encouraging!!

Many signs that the worst is over, and the long path to healing has set in. Our family is so grateful to everyone for their continued well wishes and support. Please keep it coming!
