Well today was the big day for Stacey 18 years old, I only had to remind her 30 plus times that today was her birthday, but each time she was excited about it and wanted her presents. We had only just us the family and it was probably good it seemed like every thing I touched I ruined the ice cream cake melted and to many other things to admit to, but one of her old friends did stop by Christina Williams and Stacey talked until she was blue,(which she does anyhow) but something about her brings out good things in her it was a really good day! Yesterday the girls at EE took Stacey on her horse Big Mac on top of the ridge and had a cupcake picnic, oh and her birthday wish was to see me on Big Mac which I did it has been along time since I had been on a horse I was only on him maybe 10 minutes and I could not hardly walk today it is hard to believe how many muscles you do use, I can not believe Stacey has never complained about her legs hurting, but it did open my eyes to the therapy there, and today her teachers Mrs. Busse and Mrs. Turner got her a CD with head phones it was probably one of her best gifts, I only got her a few things and some clothes that she needed. It is hard to believe she is 18, two years ago I knew this day was going to be very expensive for me, I had a lot of plans for her 18th but this will work to, she was in a very good mood, and I still have her that's all that matters! Our appointment for Rusk Rehab. was pushed off to July the 3rd so we will know more then about everything! Well that is all for tonight will try and wright next week about what we hear from Rusk! Thank You Everyone for the continuous prayers and thoughts, may God Bless Yours as You have Mine.

Well I can't believe we are already in June it seems like last month just flew by, it seems like they fly by faster and faster each month. Stacey finally finished up her first session of horse riding for the year, she starts up her second session on June 12, she is doing so good I can not believe how much better she has been doing since she has started riding out there, of course alot of things have been clicking here lately with her even at school she has started to improve. I have made an appointment with Rusk Rehabilitation center for June 23 to have her evaluated to be an inpatient for the month of July to keep up with her OT, PT and Speech plus Rusk has so many courses for head trauma's and I am hoping that they can answer alot of questions or finding out the answers to all of our questions. Rusk is a really good facility from what I hear, of course I have said that about alot of facility's that she has been in, but I am hoping this is as good as I have heard, sometimes I question myself on doing these things like taking her to these places because I usually get disappointed every time and even tho that she is more aware of things I am not sure how she will handle me taking her there and leaving her. But I now that she is more aware of her surrounding I need to keep pushing her with all the progress she has made I can not let a bit of it slide now, plus I am hoping that Rusk will improve some things working with her.

Stacey will be 18 on June 27Th I can not believe my baby is an adult well kinda of, I have asked if she wants a big Birthday party with all her friends but I never get any answer to the friends part, all I get is she wants a really big Ice Cream Cake from Dairy Queen so I don't know if I will have a birthday party for her for anyone more than just us the family, we will see. So this will be another interesting Month hopefully it will fly by like the last few, and hopefully July will bring us alot of hopes and possibilities to all our prayers. Thank you again for all your support and your prayers. May God bless your family as all of you have us with all your kindness.
