This will be a very brief update. Leslie's condition is improving. She is responsive, breathing on her own, and the doctors have said they may remove the breathing tube this evening. They continue to run tests and we hope to know more about her prognosis by tomorrow morning. She wants Jeff by her side -- his strength and reassurance calm her -- so he is spending much of his time by her side in the ICU with periodic breaks to allow her to rest.

They both appreciate your comments and prayers. We will update you when we know more tomorrow.

  1. Praise God for Leslie pulling through and improving. I cannot tell you how thankful Kelley and I are to hear the news. We have both been lifting up our prayers and I have been on my hands and knees today. I want you to know I understand that you cannot have visitors and there was one point I almost got into my car to come to Dallas, but I know you guys are being well taken care of and your families are there with you so you are in awesome hands. I also know Craig and Linda are on their way too, so in a way, I feel a part of us will be there as well. We love you sooooo much and if Beau needs a place to stay, know Kelley and I are here and if you need someone to come to your house to take care of her and get her to school, I can come and do that as well. Austin is here in Katy, and between he and Kelley, they can get Colton to school and take care of him. I would LOVE to help you guys in any way I can.
    WE LOVE YOU SOOOOO MUCH!!!
    Jay Jay, Kelley, Austin and Colton
