Happy 20th Birthday Lindsey

Lindsey's life is starting to get back to normal, if there is such a thing. She seems to be coping pretty well since the accident, (it is the internal part that bothers me more than anything)...I took her to our nurse practitioner to have her checked out. She wanted to put her on some pills to help her focus more, then wean her off in 3-6 mons...we decided NO thank you.
Lindsey left the house Thursday to head back down to PURDUE, I was in the driveway crying, she stopped and got out to hug me and tell me it was going to be alright. Of course her accident really affected the rest of us as well, and I think at that moment she finally realized how much. She celebrated her 20th birthday and by doing so she begged, nagged, and pleaded with us to let her get a tattoo. (I was just pleased she asked for our permission, after all she is 20!) I am not one for tattoos but this one doesn't bother me. She and her best friend Katie (the girl she went down to visit at PURDUE the weekend she had her accident) got matching ones, as you can see by the picture this is what they got. If you know Lindsey, she is a huge Star lover and Katie's thing is music. What appealed to us most is where her "Tat" is located, it can be easily hid when needed.
We meet with the James' insurance lady tomorrow, and I hope that goes real well. Then the next hurdle for Lindsey will come Tuesday, as some of the kids from PNC have a memorial planned for Jodi James at the school. Please keep Lindsey in your prayers.

Stay tuned friends, Leah's Blog will follow in a few days...
