Well, we hope everyone got to enjoy Memorial Day before the rain started. We were able to to spend the day outside at our Mamaws with all of the girls. We cooked out and got to swim all afternoon. The kids had a great time and passed out as soon as they laid down on the couch after getting changed. Mom then took them back to their house in Lost Creek so that Taryn could get ready for school tomorrow. Matt called while we were swimming. He was in a pretty good mood. He said he got to hear Wendy make attempts at TALKING this afternoon!!!! He said he had been watching her in bed as she was actually trying to hold her head up and was looking at her hands. He said he was then watching tv and thought he heard something. He said he he went back to watching tv and heard something again and looked over as Wendy was looking at him. He said he turned the tv down and got his ear close to her lips. He says he was able to distinguish that she said his name!! She went on to say “HELP ME” He asked her what she wanted help with and she said “GET UP” He said he kinda laughed and said he told her she was doing better, but not quite ready to get out of bed. He said it was comical because she gave him this look that appeared as though she was “giving him the look” that this is what she wanted and he had to make it happen :)!! Needless to say, he was quite happy to have a conversation with her finally, even though it was short and he could hardly hear her, he said he was able to make out what she was trying to say. (Matt, if your reading this, I hope I got all of the details basically correct as to the order of events. Sorry if they are a little off, but I was soaking wet from the pool and had kids being loud in the background.)  Again, please keep praying and hoping that Wendy will make a quick and full recovery.

Thanks to all,  Bryan
