Hannah is making remarkable progress

George Kolbenschlag writes:
Here's the latest from Bill Luckey on the condition of LWC cyclist Hannah Hayduk (who was injured Sunday). It is as of about 3pmCT Monday afternoon, March 23, 2015.
"I just finished visiting with Hannah and she is making remarkable progress. The doctor is saying that she no longer is in a coma. She is responding with peace signs, a thumbs up and is able to differentiate left from right.

Hannah absolutely knew I was there. She squeezed my hand with a grip that would have made NAIA wrestling champion Joe Cozart proud. She is such a fighter and I'm convinced with your continuing prayers, incredible medical care and her amazing strength and will that she will overcome this challenge. - Bill"
