This is Jan coming right from Lindsay Bear's bedside. Bill and Zach are en route to NJ so I am bringing good news and praising God.
Lindsay's nurse, Moira, backed down her medication to see what movements we could get out of her. WOW.....God is awesome! She moved every part she could possibly move. She even opened her eyes slightly as they are still very swollen. They have brought in the CD player and she is right now listening to one of her favorites, Boz the Bear. They gave her some liquid on a pink spongy thing which she wasn't too fond of. (Sorry to all the doctors and nurses about that, but Granny's talk like that.;) She tried to wave bye-bye as Grandma and Grandpa were leaving and raised her hand when Daddy let it go. Lots of tears for JOY as this is another tiny step forward.
We have a long way to go but we are so grateful to God for HIS faithfulness to Lindsay and us. This is a special place and we are thankful that we are here. The doctors, nurses and everyone here at Children's have been wonderful.
Continue to pray for Lindsay's room mates, Elijah, Logan and new one Emma. Laura and Jon have been such encouragers to these families.
Thanks for your prayers and kind thoughts to Bill and I these last couple of days. It was another teary parting again but know this is where God wants me for right now.
I am praising God for all of you and that HE will work His perfect plan in each of your lives. God is daily using Lindsay's precious little life to bless us all. I love you, Lindsay Bear. (Granny)

The Lord woke me up at about 3:30 this morning...at that moment I prayed for sweet little Lindsay~ I am praising GOD for the news and so happy that she is moving and squirming a bit~ Laura, not sure if you remember me from Keswick many years ago, but I am praising the Lord for YOU and the mother you are to your sweet girl. You are a strong woman and have seen ALOT, may you continue to gain strength from HIM~ You are surrounded by so much love...and your parents are AWESOME. Like I have to tell you that...I am praying..
Love,
Rebekah ( Davis) Nichols

Jan, thanks so much for the update from a Granny's perspective. I can just imagine your joy as Lindsay is responding to you and the rest of the family.
I cannot describe the impact this little one has had on all of us, including those who have never met you. Many are learning all about trusting God through Lindsay and her family.
Thank you for sharing your experiences with all of us.
In His Mercy,

Greetings to you all--
I'm praising the Lord with you for Lindsay's improvement and for the encouragement the Lord is giving you all. You have been through some trying times--and I am thanking the Lord for His faithfulness to you. We have an awesome God who is worthy of our praise. Will continue to pray that our Great Physician will guidance to the Medical Team on how to treat the infection.
Love, MERwnec
All I can say is Amen!
May the Lord be praised!
Continuing to pray that each of you see God's hand in all of this. We are told to pray without ceasing and I think that with all those praying for each of you, this is what is happening.
Thank you very much for the postings.

Prayer Warriors from St. Catherine of Siena church in Trumbull, CT are praying for Lindsay and her whole family. God Bless and keep you all.
Jan,
Once again I have been brought to tears...Thank you God..thank you with all of my heart. I'm sitting at my window seat with the sun shining on me, it's warm and comforting...I feel a little lighter now and warmer...again God thank you!!
Hello pretty girl,
Greg and I prayed for you this morning, this afternoon, and also this evening during grace. Hannah asked God to help you get well and she hopes you feel better soon. Caleb remembered to pray for you today as well while he was at school. Greg, Keith, Dienne, Leah, & I plan to come and see you tomorrow night, I for one would love to see those big bright blues of yours. I think of you often and love you to bits.
Jon & Laura,
I am encouraged by your strengh...how luck Lindsay is to have you for her parents. I will continue to pray for that little empty spot in your hearts to be filled by the love of our Savior...I regulary ask God to wrap his loving arms around you and cradle you there right where you sit. It's funny I know but I feel that in these last 4 weeks that I have grown closer to the two of you and your family. Please give Tanner a super big hug from his friends Caleb, Hannah, & Isaiah, I will be sure to hug him tomorrow.
I love you all very much, may the Lord keep the and shelter the.
with all my love,
Carrie & Family
Lindsay, Jon, Laura, Tanner, Uncle Warren, Aunt Phyl, and the Welte's,
PTL for some good news! Just to let you know the prayer chains in Leota, Edgerton, and Chandler have been very busy lifting you all up to the throne of God! Great is His faithfulness! I like Susie Groen's mental picture of the hospital floor not being big enough to hold everyone praying for Lindsay! Thanks for the updates as we continue to pray!
Love to all,
Lonna, Denny, Katie, Grant, and Corey
PS: hopefully this one goes through. I sent 2 yesterday and they never appeared.
I was thrilled to read the latest! Yeah God! I will keep praying for continued progress and healing (and strength for all of you.) Hugs, Georgia Shaffer
You all are so awesome to include us in all of the updates, thanks Bill! Thanks Jan!
WOW- what great blessings from our Heavenly Father- it sounds like Lindsay is starting to perk up! We'll keep praying.
I know this has been a long time to be at the hospital but you are all such a warm example of God's love. I will be praying for those around Lindsay- you all have lots of experience, wisdom and perspective to share with their parents and family.
Love and prayers-
Aunt Sharon and Uncle Matt
What a thrill Jan's latest news is.
Our prayers continue with you all. What a joy it is to read of Jon's and Laura's testimony to those around them. We continue to pray for the medical team as well. We all know that God holds the future and praise Him for what seems to be a bit of llight coming from the end of the tunnel. Love you all,
What great news Jan has shared with all of us. So happy for all these encouraging milestones. Our love and prayers continue as Lindsay fights back, and for you all as you stand back and experience God's plan unfold. Love Uncle Bill and Aunt Carol K.
Lindsay Bear,
We love you! We are all praying for you; Aunt Marge, Aunt Phyllis, Aunt Doris, Uncle Ted, and Uncle Dave. Just remember God loves you.
How amazing! How great is our God! I am so exicted, such a change from when we were there last week.
What wonderful news! Thank you for keeping us updated through this journey. We are continually amazed at how the Lord works all things together. We continue to pray for your strength and patience as well as your witness to others around you. Keep on fighting Lindsay!
Love, Jon, Kristen and Liam
what blessed news! GOD is great, GOD is good. He knows best and the great thing is he is ALREADY THERE.
May Lindsay still be craddled in his arms until the day she leaves there. Be strong, be faithful, be amazed by HIS will. HE loves us, He loves you, He loves that precious Cherub. Love to you all!
We remember one summer speaker at Keswick talk about "GO GOD" moments where you just KNOW it is HIS hand at work. We're rejoicing it what He has already done and are praying for yet another "GO GOD" moment!
Bob & Kristin Haynes and Karen Brown
