stranger than candy...

hola compadres...nikki here...

marilyn is up to her eyeballs in kelly care, so you've got me for your kelly slack spam...kelly came home on thursday evening...no more white walls and funny smells! yee-haw! he is so peaceful at home, resting nicely, and enjoying matfield cafe and john prine in stereo and just enjoying the energy of being home...marilyn has organized everything and their living room is now a lush medical spa, complete with ceiling fan and beautiful views of the river...

this next part of the adventure is going to be great! kelly is home and in familiar surroundings, which is a huge bonus for kelly and waking up...we need your help...in the near future, we are planning an 'ice cream social' i.e. a welcome home party for kelly...up until now, marilyn has asked that individual appointments be made, and is continuing that request, as one on one contact/stimulation is so very good for him...but marilyn wants to invite you all over to get acquainted with kelly at this stage in the game, and really, to relax a little and get to see ya'll! she misses you! we'll get the date set and post it asap...if you want to schedule an individual time, call her @ 312-4310 or 312-4309 or email her at homes@getahome-wichta.com...

for those of you who can't make visits, she understands, as life now is so crazy for all of us! but if you want to help, and can squeeze it in, she's not really getting chance to cook...she just doesn't have time...if any of you would be able to donate some freezable 1-2 serving meals for her to heat up when time doesn't allow her to make a sandwich, she would be so grateful...i asked, and she likes more white then red when it comes to meat and more healthy then not when it comes to comfort food...;-)

marilyn realizes what a huge task she has taken on, and is doing an amazing job keeping everything up and where it needs to be...kelly has such a gift in her care...she hopes you can find a time sooner than later to come see him, and see what they've done with the place, and play a tune or two, or just offer some good juju...
