And the award for "Most Likely to Receive a Grammy" goes to...
I have a cute story for you... Gracie's senior class voted her most likely to receive a Grammy, and some of her friends from Santa Barbara High School came up to tell her the news. It was a wonderful, lighthearted moment, and some much appreciated sunshine in her day. Gracie is a third generation student at Santa Barbara High School.... I went there, as did my father (Gracie's grandfather).
As for the tracheotomy yesterday, the procedure went well, although Gracie continued to be a bit groggy from the medications this morning. We are all looking forward to a more comfortable condition now that she's no longer intubated.
Thank you all again for your wonderful love and support. It has really meant a lot to Gracie, Bill, Emily, and I... so much love in the midst of these tough times brightens our days.

Singing with a trach tube. That WILL be worth a Grammy - when Gracie is up to it! (there are some special speech valves that make it possible, too :)
What a blessing from Gracie's friends. Just what she needs right now.

A Grammy for Gracie, a well earned award! Congrats on more forward progress. There are so many people praying and pulling for you and I bet they would all vote for a Grammy for you. Continued prayers and positive thoughts. Love, Susan 🐢
How fun for her classmates to nominate her! Means a lot in high school and great timing for her now. Hope she gets much comfort from the surgery.
That is wonderful! What a perfect award for such an amazing girl. Everyone believes in you Gracie!!
Perfect award for her! I had never heard Gracie sing until I saw her sing "Emmylou" at the Fall show at SBHS and she absolutely blew me away!! I am so glad she will be more comfortable now. We are all praying and rooting for you, Gracie!! Much love, Kathryn dBK
So glad to hear y'all had some sunshine in your days. I'll be looking for that Grammy :-). Keeping the prayers coming and hopes for continued improvement. If there are any comfort items folks can send or drop by maybe Mr. Corr can get that word out to brighten Gracie's days as well as you and the family Debbie. God Bless. The Martin Family
