Nothing new from Jenn today, talked to her late yesterday evening - she is in some discomfort, but healing, bored and ready to get on with things. She went back to the hospital today to have 35 staples removed, and I haven't heard how that went.
They are provided breakfast at the house, but have to provide other meals for themselves - they can either order in, or go to the mall - which they do usually, to get out of the house. Jenn still has a very strong sense of humor, the four in the house have all sustained injuries, and she said "we make quite a sight at the mall - one of us is using a walker, I scare them to death, and Tim doesn't know where he is".
As I hear stories from her and her mom, it seems more and more that what she has accomplished is remarkable. At the crash site, Tim and the driver were pulled out first, as they thought they were the most badly injured - when they pulled her out of the car, Jenn told her mom that Tim and the driver were laid out on the grass, and looked dead. As badly injured as she was, she said to herself "we are not going to die here - not here, not now" and went over to Tim and started screaming at him to wake up, knowing that sleeping with a head injury could be fatal. She kept after Tim to stay awake, and even in the ambulance on the way to Lilongwe, on oxygen, she helped the doctor with Tim.
Brenda believes that her dedication to helping Tim kept her adrenalin going, and gave her the strength and desire to save herself.
Great story, there is so much more but that will be up to Jenn to share at some future point.
She will be coming home in the next 2 - 4 weeks, don't have a definite date yet. She is quite anxious to come home, but dreading being "unemployed again at 24". She still needs your prayers and support to help her get through this.
