Update - Sat 8/23/2008 9:26 PM

Liz Ann had a busy day. She was fitted for her leg brace and is very focused on her PT. The PT therapist raved about Liz Ann…impressed with her positive attitude and ability to smile. Liz Ann didn’t think the PT did enough, (at least not as much as the other PT has been doing) so she had me do some more PT with her. She is very focused on rest and rehab...which doesn't give much news...just know that no-news-is-good-news. We’ll keep you posted on visiting potential…as we know so many would love to see and hug her.

Amber, LizAnn is incredibly lucky to have you there. What a friend! Thank you for all this information--it's incredibly helpful to feel in the loop. I only know LizAnn slightly (I take pilates with Jen Wiles) but like everyone else who knew her at all, I was struck by her warmth, energy, and strength. They don't come any better.

Thank you, Amber, for creating this website, for keeping everyone informed with such caring and descriptive narratives, and for being such an incredible friend to Liz Ann. Of course, I'm not surprized reading all of this outpouring of love and support for an amazing woman such as Liz Ann. The only reason that its taken me so long to write is because I just got back from vacation and started catching up on my pile of Daily Chronicles. When I read the first story about a "48-year old Bozeman woman", I wondered if I knew her...then I spoke with a friend who told me that it was Liz Ann...and then I read the follow up article which gave me your website address. This morning, I have read every update, every comment. Thank you for all of it. As someone else wrote, it helps feeling like I'm in the loop and being able to read how Liz Ann is feeling...how she is coping...she is such an incredible force - I guess I should'nt be surprised, but I'm still a little in shock.

Hey Liz Ann, I'm so sorry that this has happened to you. I keep thinking that there has got to be a really good reason for it...not many of us could handle this disasterous accident with the amazing grace and positive attitude that you are showing. Of course, very few of us would put ourselves into such a challenging stituation that would allow for such a fall. Most of us are too scared...but not you. You are one of the bravest, most inspiring people I know and I admire you and love you for your courage, your inner light that always makes me feel better having seen you and your constant positive attitude about all things in life. You have been a great support to me when I have needed it and I want you to know how much I have always appreciated you. Billy too. So, I've got to believe that this is happening for a REALLY GOOD REASON - just look at all of the people who you touch. The universe must have really big plans for you, Sweetie.

All our love, Moira and Billy

Hello HoneyBunny (aka LizAnn)!
Goodness gracious... life sure throws some curve balls. You are such a huge inspiration to me. LizAnn, my real life super woman! You have taught me so much about myself and healing in such a sort time. You have given me the ability to have more patience and the mindset to hear the body (even if you don't like what it is saying!). Thank you for dedicating so much of you time to me! My heart goes out to you during this time of recovery. Please know that my thoughts are with you constantly and if there is anything that I can do I would love to help!
The HoneyBee,
Amy Slabaugh

Hello LizAnn,
I have not met you, but it is like I know you so well due to my sister telling me all about your travels and time spent in the beautiful mountains of Montana and the white waters that you all have shared...you know how my sister can describe a place. She can put it in its beauty and peace for me to see even though I am living so far away from her...I have heard about so many of your times spent and the laughter you all have shared... I know I don't need to tell you this, but we have been put on this earth to share in all that it has to offer us...and from what I have heard about you, you sure have put your mark on it...this is something I don't see you nursing, cursing or rehearsing over and over... I see you reversing the tragedy of this and making it a strength in the lives of others and to you...My heart and prayers go to you.
Amber Jeans little brother,
Howard

Hey Liz Ann,
I just wanted you to know I have been thinking about you loads. We saw your rescue team at Mill Creek on our way to work on Monday morning. We all stopped and paused, hoping for the absolute best for those involved. I have felt a great many emotions thinking about you. What we know is there are so many amazing opportunites ahead of you. You are going to meet some fantastic people on this new road. People you might not have ever encountered. They will be inspired by you and you will be inspired by them. There will be highs and lows but that is the nature of life. I am proud of you for taking your healing process so seriously. It will pay off. Please know if you want to talk about just about anything, I would love to be here for you. From the looks of it I'll be at least the hundredth in line. Much love and strength, Jill Holder, jillcholder@yahoo.com
