Day 3

Thank you everyone for your overwhelming response. It's one thing to know our church family but entirely amazingly to see how worldwide it is. And to find out how many are praying for her is very humbling because we realize it\s not only our prayers that are going up. Leanne received an iPad for my birthday (how is that even fair-now I still have to share it!) in the hope that she could use it to communicate with us since she can't speak. Yesterday morning she was not able to type anything that made sense but last night she was able to type in her name to get into her gmail. Very exciting! She spent a long time reading her many emails and responses to this blog. I think it was rather overwhelming for her, but she needed to see that she's not alone in this. She had some of her best friends over yesterday and I know that it meant a lot to her. The nurses were amazed at the support we've been getting, but finally had to put a bit of a stop to it because she was too tired. So if you stop by there is a chance you will not be able to see her, but if you don't mind putting up with me (Diana) your visit will not be wasted :) I'm expecting someone shortly so I'll write a better update a little later. Diana

    Praying continually for all of you!! Praying that you receive the strength and the peace that God is in control. Please keep us updated as we eagerly await any news! It also helps us the know what to pray for :) Sending hugs your way! Hopefully we will see you soon as Corissa needs to see for herself that Leanne is indeed in the Lord's hands :)

    We love you Leanne! We've tried to see you twice but at this point sleep is more important to you than seeing aunts and cousins :) so we will try again in a couple of days. Keep smiling for mom and dad! They love to see your smile! We hope to see it too! Love Aunt Chris Uncle Albert Julianna, Calvin, Ian, Alannah, and Katriene.

    Good to hear some improvement again. Typing your own name literally has opened up a whole world for you. Keep it up! I am holding off for now but really want to come and see you. For now I will make do with Anika's report. When I heard the news at first, guess what went through my mind? Wow! It's amazing what that girl will do to get an ipad. haha. We will all keep praying for you all. Love from, Aunty Kay

    Dearest Leanne Our hearts and thoughts are with you during the day. Anika was working in the deli and she looked at me and mouthed the words "I miss Leanne" You are so near to us and though you may not realize it, we pray for you all continually. So many people who lift you up to our Gracious God. May he give you much patience and peace.
    With so much Love
    Jane

    Leanne,
    You are making big big steps already! This is awesome news!! I don't doubt for a minute that you won't make a full recovery. (My mom had a stoke and I've read a lot about strokes.) The physio is of utmost importance ... but be patient with yourself. :)
    God Bless You Leanne.
