Gracie Airlines Departs Tomorrow Morning
Tomorrow morning Gracie leaves Cottage Hospital for the next chapter in her story. At around 9:30am, she and Bill will board an aircraft specially designed to accommodate her medical needs, taxi out to runway 7/25, and take off. With wheels up and a turn to the east, they will be headed to Denver. Debbie and Emily will follow shortly after on a commercial flight.
They have received approvals from Blue Shield for Gracie's stay at Craig Hospital. However, as part of their medical deductible, Bill and Debbie will be responsible for half of the medical flight, or around $7,500. What a blessing, with what you have raised, for the Fishers not to have to worry over that cost.
Many of you have asked how you can mail cards or letters, and as soon as I have an address in Denver, I will post it.

Thank you for the updates Paul! Happy to have attended the luncheon on Saturday, see the wonderful photos of Gracie and family and enjoy the wonderful food from Via Maestre. Amazing contribution on their behalf! Inspiring to see such a major turn out of support for this well loved family and so very rewarding to hear the amount of money raised from this event alone! Wishing a smooth transition for Gracie and Bill tomorrow and also for Debbie and Emily following. All those who have performed with Gracie at Center Stage are rooting for her complete recovery. Until then; the Follies are revamping Chorus Line waiting for their 'One' to join us in the kicking line once again! Love and prayers, Cathie and Dave Hetyonk
