Day 9: Update

This is MeeMee and Izzy from a summer trip to Colorado


Day 9: Update 

Sorry for the later post today but we thought we'd bottle up all the good news for one gigantic post!

The neurosurgeon just came in for a second day follow up and I'm not kidding when I write this...he walked in and said "hello Boise"...guess who waved BACK AT HIM! Yes, we all have tears in our eyes in disbelief, amazement and in total gratitude. As you may recall the doctor painted a very different outcome post surgery and we are beyong The doctor was quite surprised at her behavior.
We're hoping that soon she can breath on her own which will be a wonderful milestone to hit!

With Boise now are Don, Clay (son), Stacy (daughter) and Boise's sister Jo Jo.

For some added Wednesday fun, we thought we'd share some things about Boise that we bet you didn't know:
1. In college, she was the SAE sweetheart
2. When Boise was in college, she was a student teacher and worked with kids who had down syndrome. She apparently love it
2. When she moved to California to pursue a teaching career, her Louisiana accent was considered a "speech impediment" and wasn't allowed to teach. So, instead, she became a model!
3. A comment directly from her sister Jo Jo...when she was little Boise was the sweetest, most loving sister
On that note, if you know something about Boise and want to share it...please feel free. To do this, you can post a new comment by clicking on "Comment" .
