GOOD NEWS ! ! : )

SO CASEY CALLED AMANDA LAST NIGHT AT ABOUT 9:45 PM AND TOLD HER HE HAD CALLED HIS FRIEND COURT JONES TO COME AND GIVE AKIKO A BLESSING. WHEN THEY WENT IN THE ROOM AND STARTED TALKING AKIKO OPENED HER EYES AND CASEY SAID HE WOULD ASK HER STUFF AND SHE WOULD NOD HER HEAD YES OR NO.

THEN THIS MORNING HE CALLED AND SAID HE AND AKIKO'S MOM WALKED DOWN TO SEE AKIKO AND SOME DOCTORS WORKING WITH HER TOLD THEM SHE WAS WRITING ON A CLIP BOARD. SO THEY TOOK OUT THE BREATHING TUBE AND PUT HER ON OXYGEN AND SHE IS TALKING AND HE EVEN SAID SHE WAS LAUGHING. SO THEY WILL KEEP HER IN ICU FOR 24 MORE HOURS THEN SHE CAN GO TO HER ROOM IN RECOVERY. THIS IS THE BEST NEWS WE HAVE HEARD IN A LONG WEEK. THE BABY IS STILL DOING GREAT ALSO. WHAT A BLESSING WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN.
