Lacey June 10th

Hello everyone,

Please do not pay any attention to my older senile brother Jerry's comments about my husbands fishing capabilities. Mike promised me the derby winner this year for my 50th, however things changed a bit, as we all know. Otherwise, if I was there the fishing would be a lot better. Soooo, it will have to wait for the 51st.

Lacey is in good spirits. She and I hung out in her room most of the day napping and watching TV and a movie after Grandma Mary and Grandpa Meryl left for Whidbey early this morning. Lacey also participated in a cooking class and made chocolate chip cookies.

Everyone at Southeast Steve....Lacey wanted me to tell you how much she loves the Terry Pyles picture and all of your comments and get well wishes on the border. It is so beautiful and she was brought to tears by all of you. She misses you so much and wishes she was at work rather than in a bed in the hospital.

The splint has been removed from her right arm. She is able to move it more now, every day is improving with that arm and hand. It is so inspirational.

I want to send messages to everyone on this blog, so that you know Lacey, Mike and I have received your cards and gifts. I want to start today with Cindy, Randy and Alan, who we received a card from today. Thank you very much. All the other cards and gifts (and there are many) are in Lacey's room and I will be sending thank you's through the blog starting tomorrow. I just wish there was internet in her room, then I could get so much more done during the day, but she comes first.

Lacey did say to me that everyday she does thank God that she is here and how much worse it could have been. She said she is going to be a great influence on many people when she is able to be.

More tomorrow, we have a big day, going to OHSU for a Dr. appt.

Love,

Mike, Shelly and Lacey
