Callahan is doing well as we go into Monday and has made a few baby steps! She is remaining strong off of the ventilator. She has also had a speech and OT therapist visit her as she begins to embrace changes and work through the next steps in her recovery. She was also able to swallow some liquid but is still not able to speak much as her throat continues to recover. When we FaceTimed her Sunday night she was able to say Hi to Tanner! We have cherished every moment on FaceTime with her 鉂わ笍She is beginning to realize her shaved head and the battle scars on her head which we know is going to be tough moments to work through.
We would love to focus on praying for strength and hope for Cal. That she know God's love and peace surrounds her during this time. We pray she knows her family, friends and God cherishes her just as she is 馃檹馃徏
We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. Hebrews 6.19
