WOW!! Saturday night's fundraiser at the Ehmann's was a terrific evening. It was great to see so many friends all at once! We are SO appreciative of all the hard work and planning that went into this event. The Ehmann's and the Sipplerley's and all their friends and families did a terrific job...the setting was beautiful, the food was delicious, and the chance to speak to so many friends was wonderful!
Rick has made a lot of improvement in his upper body strength, and is now able to transfer from chair to car with just a little assistance. Each week there are little improvements to his abilities. The staff at Helen Hayes is constantly thinking of new or different ways to help Rick accomplish as much independence as possible, and we are learning a lot!
At home we are busy getting ready for the modifications to the house. Rich Gillette has organized an army of angels to complete as many of the modifications as possible. We will be forever thankful to him.
Thank you to all who attended the fundraiser or contributed items and food. We will keep you all in our thoughts and prayers.
