Mom's Post

Today I feel so lucky to be the Mother of Ricki Nicole! In the past few days I have felt so blessed and inspired by her valiant and cheerful spirit.  I wanted to share an example of her sweet spirit.  Ricki had flown in the helicopter to Primary children's Hospital and Rick and I drove down to meet her.  Just as we pulled into the parking lot I received a text letting me know she was having another seizure.  I hurried into the ER to be with her.  When I arrived by her side she was starting to come to but was unable to speak...she looked into my eyes, wrinkled her little nose and smiled...In the midst of her challenge she was smiling. As I was looking at the pictures I was amazed that in most all of the pictures this weekend she is smiling.  Ricki, you are amazing! I Love you sweetie!
