This morning, our cell group friends (Wendy and Alicia) came to visit Charlene. While I was talking and describing how Charlene would respond to positive comments and praises of her, Charlene started smiling happily. And she continued to smile happily for the next 5 minutes. My friends and I were delighted and praise the Lord for His goodness!

Staff nurse Cindy (the neurologist's nurse) came and saw Charlene smiling. She was really delighted too and said that it was the first time she see Charlene smile so happily. Charlene was always giving her the black face and frowning.

I am so happy and engrossed in seeing Charlene smile that I didn't take photos or video.

Charlene is doing well and is tolerating her feeds well. The doc said that if she doesn't vomit, she most likely can be discharged tomorrow.

Lord, we thank you for Charlene's speedy recovery and pray that our family can celebrate Christmas together at home.
