Did you get the headline? ;-)
YES, Rachel moved out of the ICU and into the 'Neuro General' floor. To be specific, she is on the 6 floor, JCP -east wing. She is sharing a room, we haven't met the other patient yet. I think it is a elderly women. We got Rachel all settled in around 5:30pm and then went and grabbed some supper. We just got back and Ryan headed back to be with her for awhile this evening and the rest of us (Mom, Josh and I) will go visit in a bit.
I will have to get her new address and post it on here for you all. I'm sure that any mail that is already in the mail will get forwarded up to Rachel.
Since Josh and I have been gone a couple days, it was very good to see her again today. We were able to see improvements. Rachel has definitely gained some mobility in her right arm. When we left on Wednesday, she could hardly engage any muscles in her right arm. So that is great. Her neck and upper back have definitely strengthened as well. She definitely has a ways to go to control specific muscle movement. The areas that she seems to be working on by herself is her mouth and hands.
She still has some secretions, but is able to cough anything up when needed to.
Let's pray that Madonna will be able to take Rachel soon and begin their intense rehab soon. We should now more about this tomorrow and let you all know.

Lord,
Continue to stir the pool of Bethesda as there are many standing by ready to lift Rachel into the pool. Lord accept our prayers in accordance with Your Word.
John 5: 1-9
1 After this there was a feast of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. 2 Now there is in Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. 3 In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. 4 For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had. 5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”
7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”
8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked.
Amen.
