Elaine is progressing well. They have completely removed the traction and were able to take out her IV. She is now able to sit at a 45 degree angle. Tomorrow will be a big day for her. The physical therapist will come by and evaluate her and work on teaching her how to sit up and move from the bed to a chair. She can not put any weight on her right leg, so she has to move carefully. She also has to learn to move with the halo on. The halo limits her mobility and it also adds a lot of weight that she is not used to.
Overall we are very excited about her progress. We have had a great week of healing. Just a few days ago, we were still looking at an invasive surgery and an extremely long rehabilitation period. The power of prayer has gotten her this far and I know it will continue to heal her quickly.
I look forward to letting you know how her first day of therapy goes.

Dear Elaine, Ben and family --
Please know that our entire Vaughn clan has been praying for your recovery since we first heard the news. Right now both George and I are at VJGC in camper sessions and not at home, but it is amazing that it doesn't matter where we are, our Lord and Savior hears all prayers and delivers healing and comfort!! Much love to you all.....Mary and George Vaughn
