Toni is being transported to St. George, Utah on Tuesday, September 30th. She is slowly coming along beginning to have more movement. She has begun rehab and is moving her right foot more and was able to sit up a little longer and hold herself up with out tipping over.

She still has no control over her speech. She will be in speech therapy to teach her how to talk and use her vocal chords. She gets frustrated at times, but she is strong and wants to do all she has to, to recover sooner. She is aware that those two people who have been by her bedside all these days are her parents and she remembers them now. It will be better for her recovery now that she will be in St. George surrounded by all her family and the little ones that she loves dearly. They will help remind her that she has to get through this because they are all waiting to go with aunty Toni to DisneyWorld. That is what she wanted to do when she was released from her mission. That is going to be the driving force that will get her going.

I am so excited to be able to be with my sister, I wish it was under different circumstaces but nevertheless, I am excited! I love her as well as all my other siblings. This is just another obstacle that our family will overcome. Nothing will ever separate our family or destroy the love we have for each other and the love we have for the gospel. Heavenly Father is our Rock and our Foundation. Until next time, love you all!!!
