Reflecting on Life Changing Events...

Last night, we went up to Dodd, as we do on a weekly basis. One of the first rooms we went to was Levi's room - his parents were packing up and getting ready for him to go home, as he is being discharged today and is actually going home to his home. He had been at Dodd for close to 2 months, and still has a long hard road ahead of him. Recall Levi was the young man on the ventilator we have seen for the last couple of weeks. His wife was there last week, but was not there last night. It struck me that it was probably in an instant that so many lives were transformed forever - I sometimes think about things like this when I am out driving, or doing the things that I probably take for granted on a daily basis.

On a another positive note, I have been keeping up with Kim Weavers progress on her care page. Recall Kim is the 20 yr old we had seen a few months back with a brain aneurysm. Kim continues to make significant progress and is down to 2 days of therapy a week. That was very nice to hear. Another example of how life changes in a split second....

I hope this finds everyone doing well. Happy birthday cousin Michelle and Aunt Toni!!!

Sincerely,

Nicole and the Chelsie Belle
