Back in the ATL!

Hey guys. Sorry for the delay in updating. We are back in Atlanta. We had such a wonderful time at Haworth. It was so great to see all of my friends. My teachers and teammates gave me a birthday party. Then my family got together and cooked for me. When I say family, that does not just mean blood kin, that is so much more for me. I thank all of you that came by and helped cook, clean, and VISIT! I did not want to leave, but know that this is where I need to be for now.

Kelsie and Nina both spent the night with me. It was great. Kelsie did a slideshow ofher and me in ATL and put it to the music "Its a long trip alone", by Dierks Bently. It was perfect. Coach made her famous chicken spagetti, and Presley and Lori brought over the Indian Taco's. The crawfish and fish that Lane, Lindi and Dad cooked were just as good as I remembered. If you see Uncle Lane, ask him to tell your the Crawfish story, you will not be dissappointed. And it would not be right not to thank Grandma Donna, Aunt Belinda, Aunt Emmy, and Aunt Lisa for the great desserts. Courtney and Suzanne always do so much. And Papa Danny mowed moms yard, way to go Papa. Papa Phillip and mamaw Melinda came down and Melinda made good on the Jeff Gordan autograph.

I want to say a special thanks to BO and Lori for all the work on my room. It is looking so good. Also, my uncles Toby and Lane, the guys from Domtar, the fire dept guys, and whoever else from our community that have come to help. I will be sure to give you all a proper thanks when i get back home for good. God blessed me with great people in my life likeyou, and I am thankful for that. I love all.

There are so many people that I got to see while I was home - Deanna, Jordie, Jaron, Jadie, Jarrett, and Jillian -- I miss you all. All my friends from school and those from around town, you guys really know how to pick a persons spirit up!

Couple of funny stories - Dad and I got on the 400 ex and rode. Then we about gave mom a heart attack when he let me ride by myself. Then we all got out the sidewalk chalk and drew - see somethings will never change. All my friends that skipped school - thanks for keeping me busy, it meant a lot to me.

Well, I will try and update again soon. I am in the day program now. It is a solid 8:oo am to 5:00 pm pretty much every day. It looks like we are shooting for me to be home by prom. One of my theraphy classes next week will be to go looking for prom dresses. Yeppie!!!!

A quick note is it is looking good for the insurance company to approve the FES bike. Please keep this in your prayers. It will be very important for my rehab when I get home.

I appreciate your contiued prayers and support. God will get me through this, along with support from all of you. This will be my first Easter ever to not be with my Grandma Donna and Grandma Kay. So you all hunt some eggs for me.

Mom says for me to tell you all that my new nurse said that she has never met a young person with an attitude as great as mine. Mom told her that it was because I have so many friends and so may people praying for me. Praise God for all he does for us each and every day. He and he alone gets the glory.

"For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of they wounds, so saith the Lord...."Jer 30:17.

Love you all,
Jaque (Chris and Carol too!)

Hey Jaque, Sounds like you had a blast. Paw Paw Larry and I wish we could've been there. I was sad that I couldn't be with you. I am thankful for the time that I did have with you before you got to come home. You, your mom and dad are always on my mind and in my heart. I pray many times a day for y'all. God is so good I thank him for the many miracles he has already performed on and in you, for the many more that are to come. Keep you faith, love and dedication for the lord. I am so excited about the bike. Well I won't talk your ear off. Love you muches glad you had a good time and everyone got to see you.
Love you muches MeMe and Paw Paw
