Once again, sorry for taking so long to update everyone. Our daily schedule - some night schedules too - with Vicki are so absolutely packed that we are suprised at how quickly each day passes! We're just so thankful that we have each day with her. Yesterday (Friday) wasn't the best of days. She was very confused and slept a lot. She had a fairly good night, but was very depressed this morning and cried a lot. We are frequently reminding her of the accident and her injuries so that she'll have a better understanding of where she is and why she's there. As the day progressed she improved so much. We were able to use the "lift" and sit her in a wheel chair for a stroll outside. Lucas pushed her up and down the street in front of Holly's house. She really enjoyed the ride and the beautiful trees and flowers in bloom. She napped very little and visited family and friends most of the day. She was ver inquisitive and asked a lot of questions about her prognosis and what she should expect in the coming months.
She has an appointment with her orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Harris, next week regarding the cast on her ankle and arm. We hope they can come off soon. She still has an upcoming surgery date to remove some of the pins as well. Her therapists are all so wonderful and we are so thankful for each of them. Vicki does her best to put on her "game face" when we do her exercises with her. Sometimes we put on hip-hop music to pep up her spirits and encourage her to try harder. Despite the tragedy we've experienced and the emotional rollercoaster we're continuing to ride, we have shared cherished moments of sweet laughter with her.
Please continue to keep Vicki, Aaron, and our family in your prayers. We continue to progress along the road to recovery through our faith and the many prayers spoken on our behalf. We love you all!

I can never say enough how thankful I am for my children and grandchildren. It is a joy to watch them do the things for Vicki that she needs. Jason is wonderful with her and goes the extra mile to help in any way. Betsy and Holly have done things only a nurse can do but we are all learning.
There are so many people that have made our load lighter through prayers and food and just sweet concern for all.
I want to say, Thank You, Thank You and Thank You again for everything. Our Love To All Of You
We just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you all. Thanks for doing such a good job with the blog. We know you are all very busy. I thought of Dori (from Finding Nemo) the other day and thought of you all..."Just keep swimming, swimming, swimming...." We love and miss you! Give Vicki a hug from me! You're in our prayers.
