Thanks to Krista Keen for this update, posted on Facebook this morning: Update from Steve (her Daddy): "As of 8:30 this morning, Mallory is showing signs of life. She responds to poking and prodding, and has opened her eyes, moved her fingers and hands, and moves her tongue in an attempt to get the feeding tube out of her throat. She's not awake, but her brain is operating and now that the paralytics are gone, she can move a little. She is still on a strong dose of sedative, as they do not want her coming around too fast. (The stuff she's on is propofol, same as what killed Michael Jackson. It's one of those "do not try this at home" deals.) On the negative side, she has a slight case of pneumonia, and that's being treated with antibiotics. There's also a few other problems, but nothing spectacular. All in all, it's an improvement. The doctors don't want us getting too optimistic, but Vickie and I are celebrating. It's been a long ten days, and we need this."
