Hello Vanessa, I am Chris Adams mother-in-law, but as Chris would say, my favorite son! (In law) : ) My mum and dad are Mike and Alice Howell, your mum and dad’s new found friends. Which I think they were all so excited to meet and spend time together! It was so sweet for my parents, they so enjoyed yours! Amazing all they had to talk about! I think if they could they would fly over to be with your parents. They were just heart broken to hear about Vernon’s accident. I took my I-pad over today to show them Vernon moving his hands which of course they were so thrilled to seeand gave them great joy. My heart and prayers are with all of you thru this difficult time and knowing the distance compounds your heart aches. Praying for the surpassing power of peace that comes from God in your hearts, mind and souls! Always praying for your brother!!! Much love!
Hi , yes my parents often talk about “their new friends”, from their trip in April/Mayq…. i believe they have spoken once or twice on the phone..which is a great comfort at this time ..contact with people who are visiting and praying for Vern is helping so much.
Omigosh omigosh omigosh!!!!!!! My heart is dancing over this!!! Thank you for sharing!! (Go, Vernon, go!!!)
This is hope at its best!
woohooo!!!!!!!!!!!
Ali, I don’t even know what to say. The tears are flowing. This was so wonderful to see. And to hear your voice!!! :))) So exciting. Deep breath.
That was worth waking up in the wee hours for. Allison, you are a wonderful cheerleader, Gods cheerleader. Continuing to storm the gates.you rang the bell the other day, and it hasn’t stopped ringing. So rejoicing with you
Wonderful! I am so very glad. This touches me deeply. Lots of love to all of you xxx
Fantastic! And your voice is so encouraging Alison – well done you!
Oh, Allison …. tears of great JOY! Such a huge step for Vernon. Words fail me…..

Boldly asking Jesus for more.
Allison, that is amazing! Yaaaay, Vernon! So happy to see this video… Truly miraculous! xoxox
We’ll continue to pray for progress every day. I’m sure you will maintain your positive/ cheerleading encouragement. Thanks for sharing the video. We will want to keep updated. This is much better news than we get in the newspaper or on TV.

God answers pray dear Allison and Vern. God be with you both as you make this journey to the end. I am so glad for you and Vern and the kids. All I can say is PTL.

All I could do was tear up seeing this and hearing your affirming, cheerleading voice Allison.
This brings my heart so much joy…laughing and crying all at once!!! You said the words, it’s time! Rejoicing with you and thanking God!
My heart goes out to you and Vernon and your family. You are one amazing cheerleader!
Allison,
It was a privilege to pray for you this morning at church. Vernon is doing so well & understanding you is such a gift. I know he is whole in spirit, soul & body.
& it will manifest in the Lord’s timing. I am in agreement with you in having your husband growing stronger each day. Hugs Lexie
LOVE!
PRAISE GOD WITH YOU!!!!
Bless the Lord, oh my soul! What joy for this long awaited encouragement!
Oh! Hooooray!
So much movement in such a short period of time! That is really encouraging! The signal is getting from his brain to his hand faster and faster.
Hey VERNON keep up the good work! I know its hard, harder than we can ever imagine, looking forward to the day you can tell is in your words what the experience was like!
