Well guess what? You got it today was not any different from day one. Jaque has totally amazed everyone again.

Lane had given her a pedicure yesterday. He then painted her toe nails lime green and wrote his name in bright orange. Jaque was the envy of all the nurses. They thought it was so special for her uncle to have done such a thing. Well when Lane was out of ear shot Jaque told her mom this is gonna have to be changed in a couple of days.

So Lane heard about it and decided to go to Wal-Mart in a ice storm and get some new polish. He picked out a couple of new colors and a glitter top coat so that he could redo her nails before he had to leave.

On the way back to the hospital there was a wreck about a forth a mile from our exit. We had to sit in traffic for 47 minutes. Just as we pulled up to the front door for me to get out and Lane go park ,the phone rang. Jaque was calling us. She told Lane to put her on speaker phone she had something to tell us. She said, "guess what I can feel- my belly." She started laughing. Lane said, "what did you say?" She said, "I ran my fingers on my lower belly and I could feel them. " I jumped out of the truck and Lane went to park. We were so excited we hurried upstairs to her room. I put my ice cold hands on her belly, she told me to move my cold hands and started laughing. Lane came in and the blanket was held up so she couldn't see him. He then touched her upper thigh and she told him to move his cold hand. Lane asked her which leg was he touching. Jaque told him the right one. Everyone was so excited.

Her nurses from PICU had heard of her pedicure and the progress she had made. They had to come and see for themselves and tell Jaque what an inspiration she was to everyone. They told her to work hard in Atlanta. One of her nurses that cared for her from day one, told her that she would see all of PICU nurses there to see her throw her first pitch when she gets back form Atlanta.

We the family would like to thank everyone for their continued support and prayers. She still has a long road ahead of her but with her faith, strong will determination and the support from her family and friends. Jaque will over come any obstacle or task put to her.

Jaque is alert and has enjoyed receiving emails form everyone. She ask that y'all continue to send emails of your continued support, encouragement and prayers.
