the speech therapist has been by twice today. she told us that gen has been swallowing on her own and has a very strong cough. gen swallowed on command today. she will also be given daily jaw and facial massages by the speech therapist. we have a new conversation board from speech therapy. it has pictures and ideas as well as letters. they were terribly impressed at the system we had already set up. (here's how it works: we have two sheets of paper. the first sheet has two rows of letters, a-g and h-m. the second sheet has two rows of letters, n-t and u-z. we have her pick sheet, row, letter. it narrows down the choices and things go much quicker. she picks by tightly closing her eyes.) they thought the alphabet papers we had were such a great idea and they were sorry they hadn't done it themselves. the occupational and physical therapist were here today. they held gen up in a sitting position on the edge of the bed. gen still can not hold her head up on her own.

DEAR SUSAN AND YOUR FAMILY,
SO GLAD THERE IS PROGRESS. WE ARE PRAYING FOR YOU ALL.
JOHN AND JANICE CLEARY
I am counting on God to show himself strong on your behalf, Genevieve. I always remember how special you and your family were to me when I stayed with you in Carthage for Bob's memorial service. I love you all and lift you up continuously in prayer -- keep well, Susan, Love, Montie
I just heard about Genevieve's ordeal, and I and my church are all praying together for her recovery. I'm impressed (but not surprised) that Genevieve is showing such strength through this trial.
With much love,
Kim Sommer (Gibson)
Josh and Genevieve, Just want to let you know you are all in our prayers and thoughts. Many people here in Carthage are praying hard for Gen and we know God is hearing them. We feel you couldn't be at a better hospital from our own personal experience with K.U. Josh everyone misses you at work and would love to hear from you. Thanks for the blog site so we can keep up on Gen's progress which sounds wonderful and very poitive.May God continue to bless you both. Shawnda Eley and Rita Burken
Dear Josh - Susan and Genevieve
Thanks to your brother we can now access this site -- galen at church had told me the address but I could not get it to work until Laten helped me with the address again tonight. Jerry and I hope You got the card with the picture of him and Sophie in it -- I think it looks like she is speaking to the camera and telling you to get well and come back home. Genevieve we are praying for you everyday and know that this will all pass in time -- you are a very strong person and your faith will see you through this. We will be gone for 6 days so will send you another note when we get home. Just know that you are all in our prayers

God is definitely hearing the prayers from so many that are uplifting Genevieve to Him. I have passed her situation on to my church and family. We are praying for His mercies to be showered upon you all. Thank you for keeping us informed daily with her advances.
Praying for God's healing, courage and strength...jill
You are in our thoughts and prayers daily. We praise God for the progress Gen has made and ask for His continued healing for her.
We've put Gen on our prayer list at church.
Praying,too, for strength for all of you. Chris & Donna Richardson
For everyone who loves the Cordell/Moore families I have good news! An account will be finalized at SMB Bank tomorrow, June 30, 2006 thanks to the efforts of ForAll Bible (where Susan Cordell works).
God always provides for His children, and he can use all of us to be the heart and hands of His love and provision during this journey.
If you are interested in sharing at this time, just contact SMB and tell them you want to contribute to the Genevieve Moore fund.
Susan and Family:
It's Rachel Fahrig--Mom (Julia) doesn't have access to a computer. We were shocked and deeply saddened. It's good to hear of Gen's progress and hard work! Please let us know how to contact you all; we'd like to talk/write/email. You can use me as a point of contact: rfahrig@hotmail.com

We love you all, and send our best hopes and prayers!
Rachel, Chris, Landon and Julia
