Update on Holly 02/01/06 PM

Holly is awake and will open her eyes. She looks around, they turn the tv on and she looks at it. She seems to recognize her parents voices, but nothing else. No one is really sure what Holly is absorbing or understanding about her surroundings. She is not able to talk. She has pain, but apparantly has total amnesia at this point. Nobody is sure what is going on, but people are praying and hopeful. It is still early, and tomorrow is another day.
