*A SPECIAL THANKS to:
Mount Clemens Pee Wee B Lightning Team & Parents, for all their taping of their hockey sticks in "pink" tape, and "pink" sticker ribbons on their helmets to raise awareness. I received a phone call from the DETROIT RED WINGS!!! After Coach Babcock read the Detroit Free Press article: "TOUGH GUYS WEAR PINK". The Lightning Team, & our immediate families were invited to a Detroit Red Wings Practice on March 11th, 2009 (Wed.) at 2pm. In much appreciation to: Coach Babcock, Ty Conklin, and
V. Filppula for taking the time with us with autographs & questions. Also we received posters, refrig magnets, and not to mention, more pink tape for our kids hockey sticks to keep the awareness going! Thank you Kelli, and everyone else in (Media Relations), for organizing everything.

I returned back in scrubs, as a Emergency Room Nurse once again, on April 29th 2009! It was really nice to be the nurse again, and not the patient! It's been a long 4months. In much appreciation for all the support from my co-workers in the Emergency Dept, who are like family to me also.
