Hi,

Went to Portland on Wednesday 5/22, the second anniversary of Lacey's accident. Visited with the Heisler's and then it was off to Seattle. Took us 5 hours to get to Liz's in Gig Harbor, which is twice as long as normal due to the Memorial Day traffic. Got up early on Friday and Liz, Lacey and I took off for Lacey's appt. with Dr. Neligan at the U of W. We were very impressed with him. He will be doing Lacey's next surgery around the end of the summer, as he is a very busy Dr. He will fix her nose, lips, cheek area and plans to implant a balloon under her scalp, where her hair is missing and she has a big bald spot. She will need to drive to Seattle every two weeks to have a saline solution inserted to stretch the skin, so he can eventually close it and Ta DA, it will close the bald spot and she can wear her hair up again. Lacey is still thinking about this procedure as it is painful, (as if she can't take it) but it is only for the first 24 hours after the injection. So we will see. Her surgeries are getting close to being over now. We are so very thankful.

Thank you to everyone of you who are praying for Lacey and continued progress. All is going well.

Take care and have a wonderful summer and stay safe. God Bless.

Mike, Shelly and Lacey

PS, Liz, Lacey and I all got Kings in the derby this weekend. Mike was a good guide for us. :o)
