Tom Writes -
Hey All. Just a reminder - The Golf Tournament is fast approaching. June 24th is in two weeks, and we are gearing up for a day of fun and friendship. If you want to participate, there is still time to sign up, and there are still slots available.
Also, Blue Corn Cafe on Ninth Street is hosting an after - tournament party. A percentage of all proceeds will be going to the Lacey Fund, so plan on stopping by and having a margarita, and maybe some dinner. (The margs are unbelievable, and the fajitas are the best in the area!) Party will be from 4PM until 8ish.
Chris Morris adds -
We have a great "live" band set to play from 5 til 8 at the Blue Corn Cafe'...if you are planning to come to the after party please RSVP me at cmorris@brookslumber.com or call me 336-254-0554.

Rhonda Writes-
Eric is getting settled into his new routines and therapies. He's getting around good at home in the wheelchair, other than a couple of mishaps that happened over the weekend. He said he wished I had a picture of this one for the blog…. He was outside with the kids while they were washing the car and Eric's wheel rolled backwards, tipped over and Eric landed on his back in the mulch and bushes. He was like a turtle on his back - couldn't move. Erica ran in to tell us and of course Carol and I ran out like wild women only to find Eric laughing saying he was okay. Scared us to death!!! He also fell the next day while walking (assisted by Carol) with his walker. She left his side for 2 seconds to grab the wheelchair and over he fell. This time wasn't so funny. He hurt his back and smacked his face on the floor. The therapist told us at DRI not to be surprised if he falls. It's going to happen and is part of learning to walk again. Needless to say though, with his weight loss and weakened bones, he could easily break something so it scares us. He had another swallow test earlier this week and passed with flying colors so he was able to move to pureed foods. He "ate" so much that he made himself sick. The tube feeds will continue but they will decrease in quantity as he's able to eat more. Pureed chicken casserole isn't the best looking stuff but Eric said it was the best thing he's ever tasted. :) He's gained more weight - actually up to 135 pounds! I told him tonight he was getting a belly! Ha-ha He's adjusting better than I would be given all the circumstances. I'm proud of him and what he's accomplishing. He's very determined to get better and that's all we can ask for.
