Today was a great day. Mom was more alert and happy. The color is back in her cheeks and Lisa did her hair. Mom ate a big lunch and her bowels began moving again. This is a good thing. Today when we were showing her this website, she started reading one of the messages out loud. This was wonderful to see. She also walked for about 10 minutes. No land speed records were broken but she walked. I have uploaded several new photos and videos for you to see.
We are so grateful for your emails. We have printed them and read them to mom when we visit. Heather made a poster with all of the descriptive words on it so that mom can read them all of the time. Please keep sending your love and support.
Tonight we had a family meeting to discuss mom’s recovery strategy. The hospital is ready to discharge her because she has improved and this particular hospital is a trauma hospital. However, she is not yet ready to be home. She needs more therapy and care. So, we have decided to transfer her to a hospital with physical therapy and the ability to treat her medically when needed. She will stay here for about a week and then move on to a therapy and rehabilitation center.
We feel God’s blessings upon us and feel your love and support. Please pray fervently for mom’s speedy recovery.
The Christensens

We give thanks to Heavenly Father for being merciful and compassionate. I spoke to Liz's good friends Joy and Dawn Cook last night, and they are so eager to help with articles, information, advice, hope and comfort. I will also make sure to continue to put Aunt Liz and Uncle Herb's names in the four local temples down here, as they are only kept on for two weeks at a time. Our hearts and prayers are with you both. Love, Adel and Julia
You're right - Liz is a fighter! What we need is a good party! But we need our #1 party planner, Liz. So keep up the fight. Then we'll celebrate your return to Alpine in style. My prayers are always with you. Love, Janis Trinnaman
