Hello sports fans! The Jenna report continues to improve. In yesterday's doctors comments our lead doc said that "I think Jenna is ready to get well and we just need to get out of her way." Today that docs analogy was of a third base coach sending the runner home. Her illustration was complete with the one armed windmill sign used by third base coaches. This was fun stuff to hear and see in a generally serious ICU setting from the normally stoic doc!!
So, in medical terms we are talking about taking a bunch of liquid out of Jenna via dialysis that was added throughout the lifesaving procedures that were performed over the last 2-3 days. The aggressive removal of fluid throughout today and tomorrow will let the docs see the extent of damage to many of her internal systems that were stressed throughout this process. As parents our bet is that there is a lot less damage that the docs suspect. Jenna clearly has the divine healer in her corner and I suspect that when you have the Big Guy at work normal expectations are shattered. We will wait and see, but I can't wait for these guys to be amazed at Jenna's progress. As was previously mentioned, for those among you who are prayerful sorts, please give thanks for all the progress to date and pray targeted prayers that Jenna's kidneys experience remarkable improvements. We would also ask for your prayers for our friend Sarah (age 15) in ICU that is battling brain cancer. EXPECT GREAT THINGS!
Thanks to all. We are humbled by the outpouring of support for our little Jenna and our family. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Signing off from the world of ventilators, chest tubes, blinking line graphs, dialysis machines and bags of medicine. Have a great day.---Luke, Missy & Jenna

Go Jenna Go! While we all are praying your road to recovery is a short sprint, it in fact may be more of a marathon. Either way we will be with you every step, and will look forward to when you cross that finish line (i.e. return home). Until then I will dedicate all of my long runs in your honor. I am expecting great things from you girl! Prayers and hugs to you and family! Beth
Our prayers for Jenna's full recovery continue - - - and for parents who must be extremely tired by now!!! We are also adding our prayers of "thanks". Love, Sue & Tim Mauntel
Outstanding news! We will continue the prayer line everyday until a full recovery! Mom and Dad....get some sleep!

We are praying for you and your family, Luke.
Jeff Jasper and family.
Sure is a funny thing that while you are going through a time as tough as this you manage to inspire all of us through your words and your faith. I guess it's one more reminder for all of us that God has a plan. Thanks for inspiring another family, a family that prays for Jenna's recovery while we pray we are never put to the test for fear we may not answer quite so brilliantly. I am humbled by your faith and we as a family will continue our prays for all of you.
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We are so happy to hear of Jenna's incredible progress. We are always here if you need anything at all.
Love,
Eric, Lauri, Jake, Abby, and Luke
We're so glad that Jenna is starting to do better! We'll keep praying for Jenna's kidneys and all her other organs to make a complete recovery! Missy and Luke, please try to take care of yourselves as well. I know that is probably easier said than done, but Jenna and all the Hail gang are going to need you both strong and healthy. If you can think of anything we can do, don't hesitate to call!
All our love!
Jenny, Steve, Elizabeth, Catherine, Allison and Ryan

Luke, Missy and Little Jenna... You don't know me, but I can pretty much feel your bodies tremor, at seeing your beautiful Jenna so very sick. I am a friend of Dana Sonia, I live in Tampa, FL.
16 Years ago, this past June 4th, our 16 year old daughter suffered a Traumatic Brain Injury and was very sick as well, she was in a coma for over 3 months... I had to hold on to fith and a lot of prayers to help Danielle get through this tragedy, and we won..God was not ready for her to come home... so there truly is a light at the end of the tunnel, and you HAVE TO hold on to that. This is just a bump...no a sink hole for her and she will climb out with all the faith and love from prayers all over this big country of ours. If I learned one thing, prayers can help you face those difficult times, and people are so willing to sy prayers to help.
May the dear lord, bless you and give our the strength you need to endure just one more hour, and one more day... I pray for you and your husband, but mostly for Jenna.
