There have only been a few small changes over the last few days. Carolyn is still connected to the ventilator; although, it is now connected through a trach that was placed yesturday. She also has a tube placed into her stomach (through her abdomen) to allow them to feed her easier. She still has not woken-up or made any purposeful movements.
Mike had surgery today to close the incisions that were made in his arm. In case you didn't know- he had to have some screws/plates put in his left arm and because of the swelling they did not close the incisions at that time. He is breathing easier and physical therapy is starting to get him out of bed. He was able to see Carolyn for the first time yesturday. I think it helped to strengthen them both. He still has diminshed control of his fingers, but we hope that it will continue to improve.
I will try to post more later, but just wanted to get everyone updated for now. Thank you for everyones' show of love and support. It means more than words can express.

Thank you Melanie for this providing these updates.
Carolyn and Mike,
We learned this week of the accident from Bishop Villarreal and wanted you to know how very much we love you and are praying for your recovery. As Kristi and I have had the opportunity to teach the temple preparation classes here in our Idaho ward we have been prompted again and again to share a little of the experience of Mike's conversion and the love story of Mike and Carolyn and their own journey to the temple. There is a power in the promises you have both made to the Lord and to each other that will be an important part of this phase of your journey. And there are many prayers and expressions of faith that reflect the love we feel for you both. Our trust is in the Lord and in the love you have built together. God bless you,
Much love from
Jeff & Kristi Chapman and Family.
