Yeah, we know too.

We want you to focus all your attention on Nick and let us and everybody that's part of this wish focus our attention on Jack and make sure that Jack has the best Christmas.

Oh, gosh, I can't even talk. You don't have to. It's okay.

Oh, thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Holly, we want to let you know just a few of the things that we have for you that you'll eventually get a chance to see. We'll FaceTime you from home just so you can hear and see everything. We're going to make sure Jack gets every single toy that's on his Christmas list. from his Xbox to his Sonic games to the clothes that he wanted. And we understand that Jack is a huge golf fanatic at seven years old. Our friends from just down the street from...

where you guys are, Carl's Golf Land, they are giving him everything that he would need for golf,

a brand new set of clubs, all the shoes, the balls.

And they said, Neil Feldman said that anytime Jack comes into Carl's Golf Land, he does not pay to go play.

That's amazing. I'd be so excited.

And Holly, we have so many gifts for you, including a laptop so you can work remotely while you're taking care of your husband. We've got spotties for you and food gift cards and new clothes and just so many incredible things. And of course, we can't forget about Nick.

No, we're not going to forget about Nick. Nick is going to get everything that he's going to need for the comforts of home while he's on his recovery. We're going to give...

He's looking right now because I'm crying. I had to keep wanting to put it in circles.

Yeah. How is... I was going to ask you, and I'm going to tell you what we're getting for him because we've got a big surprise. How is Nick doing? How's the recovery doing right now?

He's doing good. He's doing good. Baby steps. Baby steps. He said he can't talk right now. He can't talk, but the doctors and nurses are just taking such great care of him here.

Yeah, they're the best. They're the best of the best out there at U of M. We love those guys. We are going to get Nick a bunch of things. We got Nick an echo so that he can voice command everything. We got him iPads to help him in his recovery.

We were just talking about that yesterday, Nick. We took care of it. Yeah, we got you covered.

A new TV for the room. We got tons of DoorDash gift cards so that you guys can have meals sent to your house. But one of the biggest things that we're going to do is something that we think will be the best thing for Nick and for Jack. Because we understand that one of the things that Nick loved to do when he was off duty was to give Jack his baths and get him ready for bed every single night.

Take him up the stairs every night. So we're going to help you out with that. And this is a huge shout out to Tommy and everybody over at the Creative Mobility Group who have helped us out with breaking and entering year after year. But they are going to be installing a stair lift in your home. So you don't have to worry about Nick getting upstairs. And Nick and Jack can still go up those stairs together every single night to bed.

Oh, thank you. Oh, thank you.

Holly. Nick is an amazing man. You've seen him overcome a lot of things in his life. First off, the biggest thing, he got your love, right? He's going to get better through the power of prayer, and our listeners, more than 4 million of them are going to be praying for him right now.

Oh, thank you.

Everybody that's hanging out right now at your house wants you to know that grandma and grandpa are making it a lot of fun for Jack right now. That's a fun house, isn't it, guys? This is beautiful. Oh, my God. Hold on a second. Somebody actually, one of the students is on the line here real quick.
