Another day of miracles

I have never been so humbled and so grateful in my life.

Today (technically yesterday, as it's ridiculously late) Jane opened and focused her eyes. She continued speaking in short sentences. She walked a few shaky steps with assistance. She ate soup ladled to her with a spoon, and then chewed a few pieces of melon. She still has a cervical collar and IV lines, but she did so amazingly well that as of a few hours ago, she's out of the Intensive Care Unit and into a regular hospital room!

That's just the highlight reel for the last 16 hours.

People have recommended www.caringbridge.org to me twice now (and I love 'em for it). I will look at that as soon as time permits, but I wanted to get this squib out where I already have virtual acreage.

Those prayers -- we will never be able to repay you people. Keep them coming, please. And know that we O'Hannigans lift you up in gratitude, also.

First time I've been to your blog since the accident, have just been relying on e-mail and phone updates. I'm glad you found the time to post though, and can see from the number of comments on your initial post how many of your readers care about you and your family.

Tried to call you but your voicemail box is full. Will try again later. Thinking of you and praying for you.
