A short update from today!

After we talked to Cal early Saturday morning, we FaceTimed again later in the day. Jim (dad), Sheralyn (mom), Tanner (brother), Ryder (brother), and I got to FaceTime and we are blown away and excited about Cal's progress. We can tell she is fighting! When we were talking to her and telling her how much we love her, we could see that she was trying so hard to open her eyes to see us. Her dad asked her to lift right arm (which is the side she currently has a deficit in) and SHE DID IT!! She also gave us a peace sign ✌️which is so her! Moments like this encourage us to press on and stay optimistic. [...]

Friday, September 11th: We have been so thankful to get settled back home and get much needed rest. At this time, due to COVID we have not been able to see Callahan in person quit yet. We did get negative tests back, which is good, but will still have to wait for the team to approve us to see Callahan. Although it is difficult to not be there in person, we are trusting the doctors and medical team. We are able to FaceTime her some and can't wait for the day where we can see her in person again![...]

Our precious daughter, Callahan Marsh, a junior at the University of Alabama, had a tragic fall that resulted in a severe head trauma and brain injury late Friday evening, September 4, 2020. She was taken to DCH Regional Medical Center in Tuscaloosa; where she was met by an amazing team of doctors and staff.  She was taken into surgery early morning Saturday, September 5, to address immediate dangers and remove a blood clot.  We were notified shortly after the accident and flew in to be by her side. We will always be grateful for the staff and Doctors of DCH for their quick actions and wonderful care of Callahan that saved her life.  We are also so thankful for their kindness and understanding towards us so that we could all see Callahan when we arrived.  Our family was facing the toughest time imaginable, not sure of what tomorrow would bring, at the same time being so blessed by the love and support of our family and friend via texts, calls, and messages.  Thank you.  We were strengthened by all of your support and couldn’t be more grateful.[...]
