Don't look now, but we are all extremely excited by all Noelle's progress.

We've had several amazing surprises recently, and believe she will be home much sooner than the original date the doctors set.

God is working miracles, guys. I can't even begin to count the miracles that have surrounded and penetrated this whole ordeal since the day of the accident! He has been faithful this whole time, guiding and teaching each one of us as we struggled in different ways. Through our darkest hours it has been evident Who's hand has sustained us, and I can honestly say that my God is an awesome God!

Lord Tarin · **Posted:** November 7th, 2012, 11:20 pm

Amen!

Aemi · **Posted:** November 7th, 2012, 11:21 pm

Yay! She'll be home soon! Thank You, God.

What a blessing to hear that, Calista dear. Praise God!

Camille, here, with you game by game, play by play, giving you insights, hindsights, behind the scenes...

...Okay, I'll stop playing Pepperpot (If you've watched "Gus" you'll know what I mean).

Noelle is sitting here beside me checking out the facebook page.

*news flash from Noelle* "I had my feeding tube taken out."
This feeding tube has been unused for several weeks, but had to be left in for the stomach wall to heal. Now it has been yanked out (literally) and thrown in the trash. "It does feel sort of like someone punched me in the stomach," says Noelle. "It doesn't really hurt now."

Today Noelle and I went to visit the Nebraska Capital. Noelle got to walk around 'hands off' for much of the time. That is, with no one holding on to her gait belt. She's getting steadier on her feet every day!

Anybody else find Camille's writing style completely hilarious?

My dad jokingly said that the nurse just put her knee against Noelle's chest and jerked the feeding tube out.

Yes, they did just pull it out, but not like that.

Highlight of today: "Making brownies. Or running around with my sister without someone holding on to the gait belt."

Noelle has been very steady on her feet today!

I took her out the the atrium, and we ran around, let Noelle kick up her feet for once.

She also practiced jumping. I plan on doing an amateur therapy session tomorrow since she has only three sessions on Saturday.

Today we slept in.

That's not all we did, of course. After regular therapy and 'Camille therapy', Noelle and I went for a walk outside. We found a lot of leaves, and we found -- oh joy! -- a couple of unattended rakes. So we made a leaf pile and jumped in it. I made Noelle jump in first to check for snakes and spiders.

Just kidding! I let her jump in first, I didn't make her.

Praise God! Thanks for posting the updates, Nicole dear.

Shortly after Noelle's accident I submitted a prayer request for her to my church. I was very happy to write a praise and submit it for her yesterday.

Amy · **Joined:** May 22nd, 2012, 9:53 pm **Posts:** 645

That's awesome, Aussie dear! I need to email my church and pass along the good report, too.

Aemi · **Posted:** November 12th, 2012, 12:35 pm

This sounds so wonderful...

On Sunday we did very little. Except watch "The Amazing Spiderman."

(Review: Very well-done story, father-figures and masculinity portrayed well. More than just an action story, with some good truths brought out, and some thoughts on motives vs action. Cautions: too much kissing, and a female with less-than-adequate clothing.)

Noelle is glad to have therapy again after having nothing much to do over the weekend.

Yes, it is awesome to spend time with Noelle, and that means something, because I rarely use that word.

Speaking of which, some of you may have picked up that I got to visit her again, so since I've been asked several times how the visit went, I'm going to post about it and ya'll can stop asking.

Anyways! Erica and I drove up to Lincoln yesterday morning, and we took Noelle's best friend and her (the friend's) sister with us. Which made for a rather interesting drive, let me tell you. So we managed to get there without getting majorly lost, thank goodness, and I confess that I accidentally squealed when Noelle appeared. (Many of you prolly know that I am very reserved in real life.) In my defense, Noelle's best friend's sister was literally bouncing.

So I was not alone.

Noelle took us on the grand tour of the building, and showed us all the weird-looking fishes in the aquarium.

It was incredible watching her, because now she can walk completely on her own - last time I visited, she was still mostly using a wheelchair. She took us to the chapel and played piano for us there. It was so beautiful to hear her play again. :')

We did plenty of talking (Surprise!) and took quite a few pictures, so one of these days I'll try to get one or two to show ya'll.

I'm so glad for you.

I'm so glad!

That's great to hear, Calista. I'm glad you had a chance to see her and that she's improving every day.

Another post from Noelle herself! Much longer than the first.

Noelle wrote:

Today I did the same thing as yesterday. I was very adamant about not going to a football stadium when the people in CPA asked me about it. They had to shush me... I'm still very me, because people were always shushing me before.

I'm excited about being let out of here soon. The therapy is fun, but when I don't have it, it does get a little boring or annoying to have so many people who are trying to keep me in line around.

Lauren and Morgan Hildebrand came up here on Tuesday with Erica and Calista, when Camille and Erica switched places "taking care" of me (I don't need so much taking care of, now). It was so fun to see them for the first time since the day before the accident. They came and visited while I was in the hospital in Wichita, but I don't remember till after I came here. I didn't know at first that I wasn't in Kansas, but that's beside the point of this paragraph.

Wow. I typed a lot! It's getting easier to type now. Well, it's getting easier to do just about anything involving my right hand. I've actually started using it when I only need one hand, though it's still a lot weaker. I've been exercising it though, mosly in Camille and Erica Therapy, though.

Well, I'm out of things to say now, so I guess I'll post this now!
