Update

Hi again. Good things to report tonight. Traci and Will are making progress each day.
Traci needed to have her spleen removed Monday night. Also a filter was put in an artery to catch any blood clots.She had a good day and her vital statistics were better. Tomorrow morning she will have surgery on both arms.

Will was feeling less pain tonight than he had this morning so he had a good day.
His scout troop (den leader Christie Buxton) is making cards for him tomorrow and will be leaving them on the front porch of the Schroeder home in the afternoon. If you'd like to add a card to it for Will, feel free to do so. Anything you want to send to him just leave on the front porch any day and Quint will take it when he goes to see him. Will's address at his grandparent's home is 2424 W. 11300S. South Jordan, UT 84095. Susan Woodruff is getting his homework to Quint so Will can stay caught up.

We are also wanting to do the same thing for Traci. Karen Finch will be putting a box on her porch to receive cards for Traci. It will remain there until she is released from the hospital. Karen will take the cards almost daily to the ICU at Utah Valley Hospital so that family members can read them to her when they are there. We will also have a box to receive cards for both Will and Traci outside the Relief Society room each Sunday. This is something we can do right now to let them know of our love and prayers for them.

Quint asked that we thank everyone for the love and support from the neighborhood. People are wanting to go to the hospital and sit with Traci but Quint says the staff is doing a great job so that isn't necessary. He prefers that no one come to the hospital except family members. Thank you again for your offers to help. That time will come and we will need all of you.

Kathy
