This is from Ann & Nick Roberts
Our eldest grandgirl, Jaimie was burned in an accident on Saturday night Feb 14. She was immediately taken to the ER, cleaned up and transferred by ambulance to the Children's hospital in Austin. She blamed the accident on 15 year old boys being stupid. She's going to be 15 next month, so I guess she knows about 15 year old boys?
As of today, Jaimie is home for now at least. She has second and third degree burns with the third degree being just above her ankle. Skin grafts were done on Tuesday. She has tubes and a pump attached to her leg, at least until Monday when she goes back to the operating room to get them removed. She's been on morphine and that makes her goofy, but she's been entertaining the staff at the hospital by telling them she has bedsores? She doesn't have any bedsores, she wasn't there that long? When they brought her back from the operating room after the skin grafts, one of the doctors had bandaged a stuffed animal that she had just like she was.
She went home with a wheelchair, a walker and crutches and is getting up some with the walker as of tonight.
It's going to take some time, but I think she's going to be okay in the long run. She's got a lot of spirit and good friends that are helping her. She is worried about school because she's got to be out all next week, but her catch up work will start coming home tomorrow. She's in all advanced classes, except for algebra.
The kid's mom did have homeowners and a claim has already been filed.

From Steve and Margret Nadeau:
Dear Friends and Family,
Margaret and I have registered for the BP MS 150 to fulfill a personal challenge, and also to help the National Multiple Sclerosis Society fund research, advocate for change and help people with MS and their families lead powerful lives. Having been diagnosed in 2000 with MS, the MS Society is very dear to our hearts and we want to support their advocacy and be part of it.
The BP MS 150 ride is the largest non-profit event of its kind in North America with 13,000 cyclists, 3,000 volunteers and countless supporters and spectators. They’re great fun and the funds they raise go toward research aimed at treating and eventually curing MS. They also provide education, information, direct financial aid and scholarships to individuals and families living with MS.
On April 18-19, Margaret and I will be riding the 180 miles of the MS 150 and would appreciate your support. You can access our web pages below if you would like to make a small donation. We are both seeking your help, so feel free to split your donation among the two of us.
