Lacey Update
They still could not remove the ventilator due to swelling in her throat. Maybe sometime in next few days is Mike's hope. We did have a break through today. We have been concerned about her right side, but today she lifted her right leg up. Still no movement in her right arm tho. She woke up a few times today to a small degree and Mike asked her if she could see or hear him and she squeezed his hand. The nurses also put her in a recliner chair and she sat up for about an hour. Tho she is not really awake there are moments when we know she is there. She has had a few visitors, family members, the Jakubek girls and a few boys that brought her up some flowers in a Gatorade bottle, I will post the boys' names when I can get them from Shelly. Colton and his family have also visited. Of course Mike and Shelly appreciate the support from everyone. I think our prayers for the next few days should be looking for the ventilator to be removed, more movement on the right side and a peaceful awakening. I know we have prayers as far away as Oklahoma and Florida. If you would like to post something on this site or have questions, feel free to ask, and I will try to get back to everyone daily. No flowers boys.... but cards and letters can be sent to OHSU Patient: Lacey Dunn 3181 SW Sam Jackson Road Portland, Oregon 97239 Talk with you all soon Liz K.

Mike and Shelly,
You are in our hearts and thoughts constantly. Still can't believe this has happened. So hard to wait for Mom to call with the next update. I have wanted to call you so many times but know how busy you are and how many phone calls you have to make when time allows.
The boys and friends are calling daily to see how Lacey is doing. We all feel so helpless and wish there was some way we could be of use to you. We are all standing by if there is anything you need. Good news about Laceys progress. The Heisler and Dunn stubbornness are being put to good use - Nothing is keeping her down! Wasn't "My Do It!!!" one of those things she told you since she could talk? Well Lacey - let's see my do it.
We love you and are with you there in spirit.
Love, Paula,Jim and Family
P.S.
Liz, THANK YOU so much for creating this website for all of us. You have no idea how much people are going to read, use, and appreciate it. Paula
