Nolan Ryan Presentation and Dinner from a Baltimore Family

Jessie is doing well, but she has a Very Tough Week of Rehab ahead of her. Her schedule this week is grueling and she is having a bit of a pity party this morning...I guess that I would be too. We'll let you know how the week goes.

Macey was doing a little better yesterday. Tim said that she was in less pain and that her numbers were looking better. Hopefully we'll see her soon over here at KKI.

For those of you who saw the Rangers vs. Phillies game last night, you may have noticed that the stadium was a bit more Jessie Pink than Ranger's Blue. We'll, last night, the Aledo Ladycats and Jessie were honored at a pre-game ceremony, surrounded by thousands of screaming fans...at least that's what it sounded like over the cell phone.

Hall-of-Famer Nolan Ryan presented Jessie with a framed, Texas Rangers jersey, with Jessie's name on the back (#8 of course which was her T-Ball number). The jersey was signed by Mr. Ryan and all of the National Champion ladycats. How unbelievable humbling for us to see our child get so much attention. How do you ever thank the world for such amazing support?

Last night was also special for our family, in that we didn't have to eat Subway, Flamers, or Mama Mia's. (close to the hospital food). A nice family from near Baltimore brought us a beautiful Italian dinner and sat down and ate with us. Jane, Sammy(16), and Nicki(8) Stefanik provided us with a delicious dinner and delightful company. Thanks Guys!! Jane and her girls also brought Jessie a basketful of games last week while she was over at Hopkins.

OK, now the rest of the story. Come to find out, Jane works for the same company as Brian Melven...the nice gentleman who created the PrayForJessie.org website. They had never met before, and now they've been in contact with each other and are trying to get a corporate donation for The Hemispherectomy Foundation. Isn't that Amazing!!! It is such a small world and one guided by such a powerful hand.

Warm Regards and I hope that everyone has a beautiful week. -Cris
