Aug 19, 1000 Cranes

10:10 pm
Quick report.  Great day here at LPCH.  She was quite the 'Jabber Jaws' (another nickname she had inherited).  Talked and giggled and was active most of the day.  Took 2 long walks today. The afternoon walk was off of the 3rd floor, to the Stanford side, and then way down the hall to the Stanford cafeteria for ice cream. It was a good long walk. Of course she had maybe 3 bites of her strawberry popsicle, but hey it was good walk. 
Tiffany flew home today. It was sure nice of her to be here. The kids just loved it. Liz Niccum came by with 3 girls.  They made Lindsey '1,000 Cranes'. They folded 1,000 paper cranes by hand (no joke) and made a heart shaped design.  Very creative and thoughtful.  According to ancient Chinese tradition (I think?) the 1,000 cranes is suppose to bring good luck.  It was very nice although we all decided we will stick with prayer and the wisdom of the doctors rather than 'luck'.

Renee Miller came by yesterday. Her daughter was here for tests.  They stayed with Bob Paugh of course.  Hope tests go well for them.

Tomorrow is the first real days of school.  Sierra, Megan and I will leave around 7:20 on our bikes. Time to buck up and get with it.

Again, thanks to all for the wonderful support.  We feel and pull from your strength.


Heading in.  Notice her posture. We are working to get her to stand straight.  She seems to hunch over quite a bit.

Trying to find something or anything she might eat. (This was NOT staged!)
This is the 1,000 Cranes. Liz did a great job. I can see the Priests in the Baker Valley Ward doing this headed up by Henry Shaw, Quin Stephens (dadgumit), Logan and Chad.

Quite a lot going on down there! I love the two thumbs up and one thumb down picture. Good luck with school and I hope last week's down swing is over!

Lindsey looks adorable in her skirt! It has got to feel good to wear real clothes. The auction was just your type of party and I know I wasn't the only one wishing you were there. Nick was in charge of our bid card and I learned a valuable lesson. If there are certain items at an auction I need to leave that adorable guy of mine somewhere else! I am glad you two went on a much needed date! Thank you Aunt Tiffany! Good luck this week-we sure miss you!
