Moving Time!!!

We are moving Mom & Kjerstin to Nebraska Tuesday morning at 9am., so please come and visit this weekend., as Monday afternoon and evening will be very busy. Don't forget to sign her quilt when you are here. We are excited and scared all at the same time. Her pneumonia is getting better. Mom and Kjerstin will go on the plane and the rest of us will drive up. The facility wants all of the family there for Tuesday & Wednesday at the least to get her settled in & to help them learn who Kjerstin is and help with memories. This is a huge part of therapy they said. They want Kjerstin to remember who she is through us.

I need all of the friends and family to make her a poster or just write on cards or 8x11 size paper and bring them to my home or the hospital by Monday. These will be used to decorate her room. The facility said that they want her room decorated on Tuesday as soon as we get there. She can have balloons and flowers in her room if anyone wants to send any. She will be at Madonna Rehabilitation Hospital, 5401 south Street, Lincoln, NE 68506.

There is not a room open at the facility right now, so we will stay in a hotel temporarily. However, mom is on the waiting list. Mom & Kjerstin will be there for a couple months and then Kjerstin will be in therapy back home for at least a year.

At the fundraisers we will have a video camera set up for friends and family to record their favorite memory. We will burn this on a DVD and send it to Kjerstin at her rehab facility to help with her recovery. The doctors at the facility requested that we do this. So, please come to the event and support Kjerstin and record your favorite memory, even if it's my friends from when she was a baby. We need memories from all stages of her life.

There have been two girls that have came and visited mom in the hospital that survived traumatic brain injuries and had full recovery. Their parents came too and shared their experience with mom. It was wonderful. It gave us so much hope! One of them even gave Mom her prayer blanket that she had received when she was in the hospital recovering from her brain injury.

We are having shirts printed to sell at the fundraisers. We are looking for sponsors to help cover the costs of the shirts. The sponsor will have their business logo printed on the back of the shirt. Please let us know if you are interested. Mo was hoping we could find sponsors this week so that we could start printing shirts on Monday. She was hoping to wear her shirt to Nebraska on Tuesday.

Thank you so much for your support and please continue to pray. They told us Kjerstin's progress may be slow and it will be hard for us at times, but we will get there!!
