Hello Everyone this is Shelly,
Well, our little adventure to Portland from Ketchikan went pretty smoothly. We left Ketchikan on Monday the 13th with Liz, drove to her house, stopped by the oyster farm to get oysters on the way home and steaks at the grocery store. Well, Liz has this beautiful huuuuggggeee back yard with a pond with man made creek flowing into it and Koy fish, beautiful flowers and a newly built "tiki" hut with a BBQ. Well, Liz swears she has the BBQ thing down to a pat, but when I looked out the sliding glass door and saw huge flames shooting out of it about to burn down the tiki hut, I don't think so. The 30.00 steaks were burn't to a crisp, but Liz managed to cut off the charcoal and we had a very good dinner.
Lacey and I were up very early the next morning and on the road by about 0800. We stopped by Rosie and Tina Greenup's in Vancouver and had a very good visit and a very nice lunch they made for us. We kind of got lost, took a wrong turn, but Tina helped us out.
Linda, Lacey and I arrived at OHSU this morning and had the halo removed. Glenn was in the waiting room when we came out. We then went to see the plastic surgeon, who had very good news for us. She will have her lip and nose repaired in just two months. Lacey's birthday is October 22nd and she doesn't mind at all being in surgery during that time. His news was very encouraging. He hopes that all procedures will be completed in the next year and a half. We were very happy today. Lacey is in a C collar for the next month and will be weened off of it after that. She will have physical therapy to get her neck and shoulder muscles moving again.
We celebrated tonight with Pizza Schmitza, our favorite pizza.
More later.
Love,
Shelly, Lacey and the Heisler's

WOW,
Thank God for the continuing miracles in Lacey's Life. I was really happy to be there Lacey & Shelly. Thanks for letting me share this special time with You.
Looking forward to Tuesday.
God Bless You ALL,
Glenn H
Yay! The halo is off! I'm sure you are enjoying the freedom. I never had braces, but I remember people telling me that the first time they swished their tongue across their newly brace-free teeth it is a feeling not easily matched. I am sure you are feeling that sort of freedom!
We're headed down for Daniel's check up at Children's next week. Where has the summer gone?
God bless and speedy healing!
Love, The Eichners
Lacey,
I am so glad that part of your recovery is over and we are on to the next step...Keep up the hard work and your strong faith, your family and friends will help you with the rest. Remember, to accept nothing but a full recovery. You are a remarkable woman.
Love,
Auntie Liz

Good Morning Shelly, Mike and Lacey,
I was on line this morning reading my News Review from Roseburg, OR. Where I read about the plane crash in Ketchikan and of course the pilot Kamm, which Garry flew many hours with. Our hearts are still in Alaska. So I went to the Ketchian News to read the articles and to surf the news and my heart broke to learn of your accident. It is so hard for me to believe Lacy, that you are in college and to be in Oregon. Such a beautiful young woman. Our prayers are with you, stay strong. God Bless you all, Garry & Donna Blake
