[skateboy]

Happy to hear about Lee's progress, @Gerry !

 

[LilJen]

Thank you for continuing to keep us updated, Gerry. STABLE is a wonderful thing. Still praying for patience and strength and endurance for you both.

 

[MINAM]

Thanks Gerry for taking your time. Stable is a gift. It gives you a peace of mind.

Looks like good news, Gerry...

I do hope @Really watched Kaetlyn win her Worlds Gold! She was so much in my thoughts

 

[Spun Silver]

Yes... and Keegan Messing, and WeaPo, and MTM. I hope they all put big smiles on her face!

 

[victorskid]

In this post-Worlds week, I'm thinking of @Really and hoping she was able to watch some of the coverage or will be able to do so through the "magic" of the CBC videos.

Bumpy bump, no way can you be elsewhere than on 1st page Lady Lee !! Take care of yourself first, then of her Gerry

 

[KatieC]

And we bump again for April.

 

[victorskid]

Bumpity, bump...

Sending good April thoughts!

 

[Spun Silver]

A little late - Happy, Happy Easter, Lee and Gerry! I hope yours was full of chocolates and spring flowers!

 

[LilJen]

Hi, Gerry and Lee!! Hoping all is well and that you are somehow seeing more spring than northern Indiana (it is SNOWING).

 

[cholla]

Sending some spring sun from French Alps. (I'll spare you the rain next week, don't worry !) Hope Lee is doing well ♥

 

[SHARPIE]

Best wishes to Lee as always @Gerry.

I do hope @Really watched Kaetlyn win her Worlds Gold! She was so much in my thoughts

Last weekend, I went over there with Kaetlyn's program on my tablet and got her to watch it... she was kind of sick at the time and hadn't talked to me all weekend, but I could tell she was glued right in on that. When it was over, she looked at me and simply said "again", so we watched it again. When she saw Ravi and Kaetlyn sitting in the Kiss and Cry on the second loop, she whispered "Ravi is such a good coach" (Ravi coached Kami, so Lee knows and likes him a lot). Then we watched her awards presentation (you know, where she got tangled up?) and saw her get her medal... she looked all misty and whispered "That's pretty frickin' cool... good for Kaetlyn."

Then she slept, again. She has been on Antibiotics again, trying to kill off one of those opportunistic bugs you get when you are just laying around, so she hasn't made much progress. I've been away (working up north, fly-in, fly-out) during the weeks, just getting home on weekends, so I haven't had much to report. I'll get over to the school on Monday to pick up mail, and we can sit and look through the cards. It's so nice of you guys to reach out to her; she really likes it when she is awake, but when she is sick, she just doesn't talk much, so it's hard to tell if she likes me reading to her or if she just tolerates me.

Thanks Pat, for sending the videos. I can never find that stuff online. I'm sort of youtube-challenged.

Kami was up last weekend, and saw Lee more than I did; gave her a pedicure, manicure, had a little girl time. I mostly stayed out of there, played Easter with the little girls and hung out with the son-in-law... I had a head cold, and didn't want to give it to Lee, so when I was there, it was isolation protocol. This weekend will be better.

*** added: Yesterday, just as I was climbing into the little plane to fly back out, my calendar chimed to remind me that it was Day 500. Wow. It was a really sobering moment.

 

[cholla]

Thank you 1 million times for the update Gerry. You both.

 

[skatesindreams]

Gerry, thanks as always, for sharing.
My thoughts continue to be with both of you.

May the antibiotics work swiftly, and well!

 

[mella]

Thanks for the update Gerry. So glad Lee was able to enjoy Kaetlyn's skate and medal moments.

500 days. I can't quite believe it. Thinking of you guys lots and hoping for some steady improvement in the coming days and weeks.

 

[Finnice]

@Gerry thank you for the report. Great that Lee could see and enjoy the lovely Kaetlyn!

 

[manhn]

I am so glad to read that she got to see Kaetlyn's and Ravi's win!

[MrSatterwhite]

Last weekend, I went over there with Kaetlyn's program on my tablet and got her to watch it... When it was over, she looked at me and simply said "again"

Even though I've watched Kaetlyn's winning performance countless times, I'll watch it again to join the celebration

 

[once_upon]

Thanks for the update. Every time I login I hope to see news on Lee. Wow...500 days, a journey. Even tho I don't send cards - not on a consistent basis anyway (my downfall) I say prayers for Lee and you on a daily basis.

 

[purple skates]

Thank you for the update @Gerry. From one caregiver to another, massive hugs. I think they appreciate us even when their pain etc makes it seem like they don’t. I’m sure she more than just tolerates you.

 

[MINAM]

Thanks Gerry. I always tell myself that progress isn't that smooth, it needs time to build up. I think Lee's body is in waiting mode. All the elements need to click.
Sending you and Lee healing vibes from Japan.

 

[Wyliefan]

Hugs and prayers for you both. So glad Lee got to enjoy Kaetlyn and Ravi's win.

 

[Habs]

Thank you for the update, Gerry. I think of you and Lee daily.

 

[4rkidz]

Lee was certainly in our thoughts at worlds @Gerry , especially when Kaetlyn won!
