8 P.M.

Well this week has been a very scary and has had a very good ending to the week! This week started the same until Wednesday we were going to get out of the house for a while when I pushed Stacey out onto the first level of the porch and she told me push me and I said wait a minute I have to shut the door, with one hand on the wheel chair and the other one shutting the door Stacey decides to push herself with her feet and the wheel chair starts rolling down the ramp I grabbed for it but I was not able to get a good grip, so she continued down the ramp into the driveway, when I am not sure if she put her feet down or what but the wheel chair flipped and she went flying out on her head, I had totally lost it for a little while it was almost reliving the night of her accident all over again. Stacey was out for a few minutes and when she woke up she was not looking straight at me just all around, luckily someone had stopped and helped me she called 911 for me there was another lady there also, I tried to get Stacey to respond like if she was hurt or anything but all the answers were no, it wasn't long before the ambulance got there and started loading here up on a back board and the neck brace and all that stuff that's when I really lost it, I just knew that I had lost her for sure this time, I knew another blow on the head for her was not going to be good, but after a couple hours after they took her of the board and the neck brace she started coming around and the longer we was there the more she was to her normal self, saying she was hungry and trying to pull the IVs out and wanting to go home. To me this was the greatest site for me, after taking a cat scan they seen no evidence of any injury the Doctor said it looked more like she had skidded than took a direct blow, so after six hours we finally come home, and she was glad to be home to, and she did sleep good that night. Thursday we went out to the Washington Fair we didn't get to see much because it was so hot and I was worried about Stacey getting over heated, but she did really good considering the heat plus she got to see a lot of old friends. Saturday we went to the fair again to go see Travis Tritt which was one of Stacey favorite singers it was a really good night, I even got her to raise her hands and do the wave for one of the songs, I was really pleased with her how good she did. And I got to speak with the school they are going to go ahead and take her all day long, there are going to get an aid for her to come to the school, but again this is only for speech therapy and they might move on further it just depends how long it takes for her to open up, but that is why they want her to go all day do to the longer she goes the more they are hoping she will get use to them and do for them what she does for me, I have my fingers crossed this goes well. But again all turned out to be a scary but a very good ending to the week so until next week. The pictures this week are from the fair, hope you enjoy. Thank You To the Lady's who Helped Me Wednesday, and to all who continue your prayers for Stacey. God Bless.
