More good news! Dr. Cardenas looked at Liesl's latest MRIs from various angles and concluded that the contusions are decreasing. He said he "expects her to come around".
The drains in her head that are in place to drain fluid in case of pressure bukld-up have been clamped. Her ICP is good, so they expect to be able to remove the drain altogether soon. At that point, Liesl can be moved to a facility in Memphis. This should happen fairly soon - perhaps in the next two weeks.
Color has returned to her cheeks!
She is moving her left hand and head spontaneously!
KEEP THOSE PRAYERS COMING! We are all ready to have our Liesl wake up for us!

This is wonderful to hear! I'm so glad the doctors believe she'll make a full recovery.
We do pray for full recovery, but we are also aware that Liesl has a long road ahead. Please keep the prayers coming!
Thank you for the regular updates. It means so much to read them and to hear the progress. I pray for you and your family as well. This has to be a very difficult time for all of you.
I will always remember singing (or attempting to sing!) in the choir with you, Leigh, and Liesl at Sacred Heart. She is such a sweet girl. I am sure that God's angels are with her and everyone caring for her.
We continue to pray for her. We look forward to more updates.
In Him,
Keith and Sara
This is absolutely fantastic news! Thanks for the updates - we're all pulling for Liesl and eager to hear the news that she's fully recovered.
