Summer in full swing!

After a busy week we finally had sometime to play! We recently purchased a used boat and took the maiden voyage on Saturday! Thanks to my Brother, Steve, we didn't look to bad putting in and taking the boat out Saturday. Sunday was a little different story, luckily we had our neighbor there to lend a hand! It was nice to sit back, let the wind rush through my hair, close my eyes and relax. We did a little tubing and wakeskating, it was nice to be out!

Lyndsy is home recovering well. It was nice to see her home and out of hospital gowns. She looks great, I heard she was even on the back patio soaking up the sun! Welcome home Lyndsy!

Lyndsy is going home!

" Lyndsy is getting out of the hospital today. She is doing well and ready to break out of this place! She is still sleeping a lot and giving the nurses a run for their money! When the pain meds wear off, she doesn't hold back.
Angie is the same....she has good hours and bad hours. She is responding more and more and seems to be progressing...just not fast enough sometimes. I am sad to leave the hospital without her. We will be back a lot to see her." From Julie (Lyndsy's Mom, my Sister).

Lyndsy Update!

Lyndsy is recovering well! All of her surgeries to fix her leg and clean out her wounds went good. She is learning to walk with a walker and crutches with her physical therapist! We all are hoping that she will come home today!!! When we visited Lyndsy yesterday she was in really good spirits and had her beautiful smile on her face. According to Julie one of the EMTs that helped Lyndsy off the mountain told her that she was lucky to be alive that they don't pull to many off the mountain alive after an accident like that. We are all counting our blessings that Lyndsy is with us and doing well.

Angie is doing better today. Each day is an improvement. She is opening her eyes and making eye contact. She is also responding to commands. The nurse told her to open her eyes, wiggle her fingers and toes, and give a thumbs up and she did them all on the first try. It is a huge relief to see her coming around. Hopefully she will be off the ventilator today! Lyndsy was able to visit Angie, it was an emotional reunion.
Thank you for all your prayers for these girls!

Two girls are taken to the hospital after driving an ATV over a 150 foot ravine near Featherville. Witnesses tell us the girls went over the edge of the ravine at about 3:00 p.m. Saturday. They tell us one girl was unconscious and another was hurt, but was responding to rescue crews.
It took several hours for crews to reach them in the ravine because hospital helicopters couldn't land near the crash site. They had to land at the trailhead in Featherville, and use ATV's with trailers to get them to the helicopters. No word on the their conditions.

This is what the news reported of my Niece Lyndsy on Saturday night, June 21. Lyndsy and her friend Angie were lifeflighted to St. Als hospital. Both girls are recovering well. Lyndsy had a 4 hour surgery the night of the accident to clean up an open wound on her leg and to also put a rod on her broken femur. Angie suffered head trauma and a broken pelvis which she is going in for surgery today.
We are very proud of Lyndsy, she is a very strong girl and we love her very much! She is being moved from ICU today to a regular

hospital room! Please keep Lyndsy and Angie in your prayers for continued good recovery!

McKenna started chemotherapy

McKenna started her first cycle of chemotherapy. Luckily it is an oral medication that I can give to her at home. She has been great with it, so far the only side affect is tiredness. We were prepared to have her sick and feeling yucky but she is tolerating it well, of course this is only half dose she will start the full dose next month. She is a trooper!

Dance, gymnastics performances!

McKenna and Kylie's dance and gymnastics came to an end with a final performance! They both did great and learned some new moves! Cheer camp starts next week, that should be fun.
