Rhonda Writes -
Well..... Mr Lacey is doing fantastic!!! Prayers are being answered. The pneumonia is clearing up and they're weaning him off the sedation drugs. What does that mean for me and Carol? He's so alert that he's trying to get out of bed. He's totally freaking his Mom out since he's still on the vent. I love it though because he's getting fired up and I know he's making that journey back to us. :) I'm overwhelmed at the folks that are sending cards and doing things for us. Carol and I want to thank everyone for that extra 10 pounds from all the AWESOME food being dropped off. I will never be able to thank all of you enough. I've even heard from folks in Eric's high school graduating class. You Hoosiers "ain't too bad"!! I hung pictures in the ICU room so Eric could see the kids. Erica's Sunday school class made cards for him yesterday and I showed them all to him. I can't begin to thank everyone enough for the prayers. We feel each and every one of them. It's amazing to see how God is working in all of our lives. Well, I've got to sign off for now and try to hold Eric down so they don't restrain him again. Keep him in line! Love to everyone!!!

Please tell Eric, his brother from another mother says hello...Chris: )

We are praying hard in the Morris house for the boy to make a full recovery and go play some golf with me; so I can have a laugh because he plays soooooo bad. Just kidding!!!

Love you much,

Chris Morris

Hi Rhonda, thank you so much for the updates! I know you are exhausted and it is hard to sit down and update the blog. I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for posting them.
Let Eric know; Aunt Linda and his Navy Family in Great Lakes, IL Pray for him and your family. Please let him know I found a picture of the USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70)! I'll bring it to him when he comes home. It is framed and ready to be hung!! :)
Love, Linda

I am so happy to hear he is doing so well! I know he's probably a handful with all that "spunk"! I will add to Kirsten's note and say I will be right behind her if I hear of any mis-behaving Mr. Lacey! LOVE YOU BOTH!!! :)
