Re: & Joyce returning to Iowa Feb. 19 - ?

[Guest guest]

Joyce-

Sorry you have to go back. You met my son and husband (Lucas & Brad)

last time. We won't be going back until April.

Hopefully they won't have to put her back in casts so she can

continue walking!! I will keep my fingers crossed for her.

Joyce,

Wow! What a roller coaster ride! I am so glad that is

learning to walk without the aid of her walker, but I am so sorry to

hear about her right foot. When you left RMH in January, I remember

you saying that you needed to come back in 6 weeks. Was that just

supposed to be for a check-up?

BTW, just a quick couple of questions...Did you get my pics I

emailed of the girls at their tea party, and in the wagon with

Kennedy? Did RMH send you the pictures that you left behind of

and your son? We found an envelope right after you left of

the pictures of the two of them, and Carson said that he would mail

them to you. Just wondering, so that you can ask for them while you

are there if they never mailed them to you...

I know that you know that you and are so lucky to have found

each other. What joy and promise you both bring to each other! You

are in our thoughts, Joyce. Let us know how things are going.

Thanks for your sweet message and prayers. We are doing

great. We just need a little extra help with the right foot. I

would love to send some pics to the group, but I don't know how to

post them. Can you help me? Take care!

Good Luck Joyce, We wish the best. After we hung up the phone

the other day, Collin asked " Well when can take the airplane

to our home? " He is such a trip at this age, he thinks you can easily

just hop on the plane from Idaho and be here so they can play and then

you can go back home! We miss you guys! You know if you ever are

near NJ, your more then welcome to come over and stay it would make

Collin's year, if not some day we will have our Dr. Phill trip (kid's

free of course for that one)!

Hi ! Our return trip was originally planned to just be a

checkup when we left last time. However, that has of course changed

now. Yes, Abby at RMH mailed me the pictures. Yes, I'm embarrassed

to say I got the pictures you sent but wanted to respond later when I

had more time, as I was in a huge hurry that day I was checking

messages. I am so sorry as time has gotten totally away from me.

Thank you so much, those are darling. I have some cute pics to send

to you and my goal is to get them out tomorrow. Have a great day and

tell your mom and that sweet little of yours and I

said " Hi! " Just the thought of her makes me want to pinch those

sweet little cheeks. Take care!
