Drivers test -- check!

What a morning! It started out with overcast weather. As we were getting dressed, I asked Jaque if she was still nervous. We overheard a preacher on TV and he said, "Let me remind you all that God did not give us the spirit of fear." Funny that this is just the channel that was on when we turned the TV on. And Chris turned it on as he was walking out the door to get her blueberry muffins. Turned it on just to wake Jaque up. Those close to our family understand that this is a message from God telling Jaque that he, and her ol uncle CJ are still with her. She said, "oohhh! hope God don't let me drive like CJ today, I might flunk!" Then we laughed and hugged each other. She looked so cute, all decked out in her green Victoria Secret Sweatshirt that says Think Green Wear Pink, and her pink plaid capri's.

She had to answer quite a few questions concerning her wreck, and what physical limitations that she has at the current moment. Then she had to do a few hand-eye coordination drills, and of course what driving test would be complete without the vision screening. She did well on all of it. And when we finally made it to the car, she had that glow about her. You know, the "it" she has. She had to drive down Peachtree Street (the busiest six lane, non interstate street in Atlanta) and the get on I-75, loop around and come back to hospital. The driving instructor said she did really well. And so, one more chapter written in our lives. In Jaque's life, one more part of her independence regained! Praise God.

By now most of her friends at Haworth know that she moved her foot yesterday. It was her left foot, and she picked her toes up about 1 inch off of the ground, and put them back. She did this for a couple of minutes before even telling me. We were getting her hooked up on the FES bike. She was smiling, I thought Chris had done something. (passed gas, picked his nose?) But she laughed and said look mom. She can control it for around 3 - 5 minutes each time. Then, just like it came, it goes. But it is great that it is coming. God is great. He continues to show us that it is his WILL, his WAY, and through his POWER that health is being restored to her. By the way, it is the third time this week that we have seen this movement. Immediately she and I said Praise GOD!

Well, got to run guys. Jaque is having lunch with her OT's, PT's, and TR's from the 2nd and 3rd floor. They are all so sweet and special in our heart. God Saved Jauqe. They have helped her regain her strength and sassy'ness.

Thanks to Coach Reynolds, the Haworth Lady Lions, and Kelsie Jackson for being there for her. She Loves you all and cannot wait to get home.

Love to you all. And Grandma Kay -- DR Pepper----that is a serious commitment. We love you all and know that God is working so much love through all of you. Grandma Kay & Papa Larry, Grandma Donna and Papa Danny, Papa Phillip and Mamaw Melinda - thanks for all you do for us and Jaque. We could not make this journey without you. Carol (Jaque and Chris)
