April 1st 9:45pm

I'm back in Utah with Acey and so thrilled to see his progress. I got he see him walk for the first time with a special walker that has a place for his arms to rest on. He did great. He still is needing a lot of help but we can definitely see improvement. We had a meeting today and they have set a leaving date for May 4th, that is if everything goes as planned. We still have a long ways to go before he gets to come home. Well you all know that today was April fools day, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to play a harmless little joke. So, Acey's first appointment this morning was PT, who is a very nice girl, she comes in and asks how are you today Acey, he replies,"alright, but I can't feel my legs." She said, " what", as clam as she could and he told her again that he had no feeling in his legs. Then she starts with all the questions, how long has this been going on? can you feel your hand and arms? By the way, Randy McCowan was in the room and he wasn't in on the prank and his eyes were bugging out of his head. Oh it was great. Then he told them April fools, it took Acey saying it twice before they understood him. They both about died. Right after that, one of the head nurses came in to check on him and asked how are you feeling today? The PT says he's having some new problems this morning Acey why don't you tell her, and so he did. It was great!! Right after that Dorene called to see how Ace was doing, well needless to say she did not think it was funny whatsoever! I don't think we will ever forget this April Fools Day!

We love Ace!!!!
