Something Good out of Something Scary
First, I want to thank everyone who sent good thoughts, vibes, words, and prayers my way.
I heard back from my doctor at the University of Michigan yesterday and I received the best news possible. No signs of ongoing renal inflammation. This means I will be operating at full capacity. AWESOME.
Here’s a photo Jerry snapped of me in recovery:

I’m also going to share a small portion of the last email my doctor sent me.
“I read about Loveland in the NYT, but didn’t connect you to the Mary Lorene Carter ….You are doing great work, I am impressed by your guts and creativity.”
Pretty cool? I think so.
In other news, the Knight Foundation grant that the Imagination Station applied for recently has been chosen to move on in the second round of the application process (read the initial proposal)! Keep your fingers crossed for us! We’re all working hard to bring crazy fantastic new things to Corktown, Detroit, and well, really, everywhere.
Thank you, again for all of the support! I am one healthy and ferocious Detroit Ice Squirrel, and I’m so happy that I get to work on and make amazing things with my teammates, family, and friends.
