Happy Valentine's Day

Gracie had a nice Valentine’s weekend… Paul, Lori, and Elizabeth (Gracie’s uncle, aunt, and cousin) arrived on Friday, and had dinner with Bill and Emily on Saturday night. Gracie’s friend Hanna and her mom also came out on Saturday and spent the weekend with Gracie. No greater gift on Valentine’s Day than love, family and friends.[...]

Concert for Gracie

Just a reminder that the concert for Gracie is this Sunday from 6 to 9pm at The Blind Tiger, 409 State Street, in downtown Santa Barbara. There are a number of acts that will be performing through the evening, all of whom have played with Gracie in the past. I expect it to be busy, so plan on arriving early. Tickets are available at the door. All ticket sales and donations will directly go to supporting Gracie. I look forward to seeing many of you there. Paul

Rehab is Hard Work

Eat Whatever Ya Want

Gracie did a barium swallow test to evaluate her ability to swallow food, and the great news is that she was cleared to eat anything! Okay, maybe not 9-course meals just yet (hold off on sending her a bunch of food!) as Gracie is nervous about the process and will be self-restricting her food consumption I'm sure, but looking forward forward to smoothies and building to more over time![...]

Emily's 15th and the Dog Days of Summer

Yesterday we celebrated Emily's 15th birthday! Although we didn't go outside, Grace got up in a chair for the second time and saw the snow with her sister. Pastor Alan Strout has a friend that lives in this area, and they are letting us use their car so we will have the ability to get Emily to school. We are continually grateful for those that have stepped forward in our time of need.[...]

Bathtime and Snow

Yesterday was a good day. Gracie enjoyed her first bath in a cushy tub with something like an air mattress with holes to let the water go through. And the video of the event yesterday brought on a long hard smile Gracie! Special thanks to Jenny Schatzle, and our friends and neighbors that attended her event and gave so generously![...]
