Well, it will be a heck of a long day today, but everything I have experienced has been worth every minute of it. I drove down from Gig Harbor at 5:30a this morning and met Shelly at the hospital. After a little visit with Lacey we were off to WOU. When we arrived at the dorm there was a huge poster with very uplifting messages on it to Lacey from all of her college friends. We packed up her dorm stuff...Now that girl has some clothes!! Thank-you Kendra and Becca, you are so kind and we really appreciated your help. We said we were thirsty after hauling all the stuff out to the car, so Kendra sprinted across the campus to get us bottled water. Ask and you shall receive, I had a talk with Shelly about that on the way down. It is hard for her, because she has always been the person that helps us with a huge smile. She said she would try.
Lacey is doing so well. Yes, she is in pain, yes, she has to struggle through her therapy, yes, she has trouble with short term memory things, but she is so strong and brave and she wants to get better. Her eyes were very blue and bright today. She will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow and taken to the Rehabilitation Institute of Oregon, where she will live and breathe therapy. The therapist evaluated her today and said 3 weeks in the center, now I caution things change, but that is incredible news.
Lacey received some beautiful flowers today from the Gould and Haag familys. The fragrance is awesome.

Well gotta go, we are having a quick dinner with Jamie and Linda, then, back to the hospital. Linda is making us lasagna. YUM Lacey told us pasta would be her first dinner request, when she is able to eat. Mike was disappointed he thought she would ask for venison!! Right!! Take care Liz K.

This is amazing news. I am so proud of the huge steps Lacey has been making in her recovery. Lacey if you get to read these I want you to know that I am so incredibly sorry, you are my best friend and I just wish you can find it in your heart to forgive me for what I have done, everyday I ask myself why couldn’t be me, I don’t understand how this could happened to the one I care most about. Love you Lacey. Keep it up would ya.

Hey Lacey,
I just wanted you to know that everyone up here in Ketchikan is wishing nothing but the best for you and we are so happy to hear you are doing better. You will remain in my heart, and I look forward to seeing you in good health when I get back to Portland at the beginning of August.
One Love,
