DAILY NANCY UPDATE #97

Greetings. 

This is the ninety-seventh in a series of DAILY NANCY UPDATES I will be posting until the amazing Nancy Neufeld Callaway is in full remission and we have kicked her leukemia on its ass. 

If you'd like to be automatically notified of updates to this blog-- just enter your email address in the window on the right beneath Nancy's picture and follow the prompts!

SUNDAY NIGHT - BREAKING NEWS

Prayers are being heard.

Today Nancy opened her eyes and looked right at me. I told her she was pretty. And she smiled.

As the day unfolded, she drifted in and out of sleep-- opening her eyes, clearly connecting with us visually, then closing them. She was also occasionally able to answer questions with an "mm-hmm" (yes) or an "mmm" (no). Her hands and arms are much more active, reaching above her head, touching her own face, etc. And each time we applied lip balm to her lips, she would rub her lips together, as if she'd just put on lipstick.

These may seem like small tasks-- but they're huge victories after everything she's been through-- and her neurologist was very pleased. I'm telling you, I've honestly never witnessed such strength in my life-- and her sweet friend Rikki was there all day to witness it, too. She can vouch.

Our new goal tomorrow is to get her to keep her eyes open longer. And maybe even give us a few words.

A little more progress every day. That's all we need to keep her on the path to full consciousness-- so we can get her up on her feet and back on the road to complete remission. 

(Meanwhile, just so you know-- all her cell count / immune system numbers are amazing).

Bottom line: If you're reading this and you've taken even a moment out of your holiday weekend to say a prayer, think a good thought, or send a healing vibe-- please feel the depth of my family's gratitude.

And if it's not too much to ask... please don't stop.

WE LOVE NANCY, and... 

ALL IS WELL!
