Up until now, there realy has been little in the way of positive news for her family to report.

But that appears to be turning around. Her husband, Darren Ford, posted the following update on his Facebook page on Saturday.

Now, since I am talking about improvements, I must brag on her because she followed her first command last night since the accident 21 days ago. I asked her to give me a "thumbs up", and so she gave me two great-big thumbs up. She seems to be getting so much better each day it is unbelievable... I know she has to be getting close to opening her eyes because of her actions. As much as we all miss her, I know she misses us just as much... I know she is in there kicking and screaming just trying to get out. We all know her as a fighter and that is what she is doing best right now.
