Lacey update May 25

Good Evening,
I am so glad everyone appreciates the Lacey updates. I know Mike and Shelly look forward to reading your comments when they get back from the hospital at night. They again, would like to let everyone know how much they appreciate your kindness. Paula, I have to say your words were so right on. Lacey has a very strong will and sometimes its frustrating but it is getting her through now. Thank-you JJ for sending your angels, Shelly said she just wanted to go home with them and curl up on their couch. The words of encouragement. love and support from Ed and Marcia, Aunt Nancy, Brenda and Jerry, Jamie and family, The Alaska State Troopers, Mikes work family, Janet and Manny and family, Rosie and Larry, Scott and Julie, the Scudero family, Debi Koons, Ernie and Koz for picking Mike up at Square Island, Russell and Jennifer, Will and Dana, Scott and Ronda, Kerri and family, Cheyan and Johnny for setting up the web site, Jed and family, Ron, Linda and Jill and of course, Mike has been speaking to his mom often, it's unconditional we know.

Lacey made progress today. They still have not been able to remove the venilator, but were able to insert a smaller tube. Hopefully, this will be more comfortable for her until they can remove it. The physical therapist came in today. She got Lacey into a chair for a little while. Lacey actually took 2 steps back to the bed with the help of the therapist. Shelly said the therapist was pretty amazed. There is bit of setback tho, Lacey has pneumonia. They feel they caught it very early and started her on antibiotics right away. The nurses have told her she has been in an accident, They also tried to get her to write, but she could only scribble because she is right handed and there is still no movement with that arm. Our prayers for the next few days could be for movement or an answer to why she still has not moved her right arm, the antibiotics to kick the pneumonia and the small ventilator to be removed, so she can communicate with us.
Mike and Shelly are admittedly tired, but Mike buys Shelly a big iced mocha every morning and she says that helps. Talk to you tomorrow. Liz K.

Shelly, Mike and Lacey,
Ever since I have heard of Lacey's accident, my heart and thoughts have been going your way most of the days. Lacey is so fortunate to have such strong love to carry her through all of this as she is very scared not knowing what is really happening to her. Your presence and touches are the strength she needs to give it her best fight of her life. Your little family has that love. I am sending my hugs and thoughts your way. Rose B. Greenup, 'retired'!! no longer tired!!!!
