Wednesday's update

Today was a good day. Tanners spirits are still high. He is
still our strength pulling us all through. As I was stretching
his right ankle he said "ouch" and jerked his leg. Some are calling
it a reflex, but I am calling it a movement. The Doctors are amazed
with his pain tolerance and rapid progress. I talked to his
surgeon,he told me that there was no penetration from the bone
fragments to Tanners spine. This is good, no this is great!
They are moving him again tomorrow to The Spinal Rehab. Clinic on
the 2nd floor.
Words cannot express the gratitude our family has for all of your
thought and prayers. All of the many phone calls and visitors have
helped to lift Tanners spirits up. I see his spirits raise from the morning
when we all wake, wondering if this is just a bad nightmare to the
end of the day when we have had so many people calling, and visiting
until the nurses kick us all out.
Our love and prayers are with you all,
Stacie

Hey Tanner,

I've talked with you dad a couple of times and have just been amazed by the strength and courage he says you have displayed throughout the ordeal. Bridger and I are planning on coming up to visit but I want to make sure my flu is completely gone before we do. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and we know you will come out of this like the champion that you are!
Hang in there Tanner! Dago & The Battaglia's

Tanner & Family,

The snow outside is just plain cold, so you picked a good time to take some time off! In all seriousness, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Hallo Tanner,

this is a friend of shelly and Jeff, we are missing out a emailadress of them.
Please leave a note on that blog, if it´s shally that served a mission in rochester, then we could probably find a way to get in contact again. I am Ute.

Thank you

Tanner,

Sorry to use you as our medium here. It looks like one of Shelly's old mission companies (who she has been trying to find ironically enough) found your blog (not sure how) and has reached out to Shelly. Her name is UTE and we received the comment through your blog that she was looking for Shelly. We can't see the email address it came from and wondering if you can. Would you mind sending it to us if you have it or letting her know back through your blog that she has found the right Shelly who served a mission in Rochester. Shelly's email is jslabe5@yahoo.com or my email is jlabrum@gmail.com. Our home phone number is (801) 766-0134. We would be very grateful for your help. Shelly would really love to reconnect with Ute.

Thanks,

Jeff and Shelly Labrum
