Wow, what a miraculous moment we just had. We started of by taking ALlie out for a walk. As we got outside my SUV was parked right next to the hospital door so I asked Allie if she wanted to go for a ride. She said yes so we all got in and went to the gas station to fill up and get Allie a Coke. From there we went to the Ronanld McDonald house and just hung out for a moment. OK, I lost the key yesterday and had to get another one.
Now for the brightest part of our whole stay here. We all went to visit the nurses on the second floor. When we got there we ran into Dr. Gardner, her neurosurgeon and the man that definitely saved her once she got here. We still credit Marty and Beth and Kent with making it possible for her staying alive enough for him to get her. Our little angels!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When Dr. Gardner saw her I thought he was going to faint. I thought our stoic hero was going to be reduced to tears. He could not believe what her was seeing. It is my belief that he did not believe she was going to make it and to see her walking, smiling and talking was to much to be true. He just looked at her and said "I't as miracle, God definitely has a purpose for you." I thought I was going to break down myself as i felt my knees get weak as he took me back to that initial day when he spoke to us at 3:00 am right after his initial surgery. Dr. Gardner looked at Nancy and I and said "what ever you guys are doing, keep doing it" he shook hes head, smiled and said "your family is a miracle - you guys just keep doing what you're doing". He just smiled and said "she is so beautiful, this just make my whole weekend worth it" This was so amazing as this is a guy who I really admire and look up to. I now have so many heros and people I look up to.
Well we are back in the room now and Allie is resting. Our friends Clyde (Santa Claus) and Pam will be here soon for a visit and we look forward to it.
Just had to share this great news with you. God is Good! Full Recovery - Never a Doubt.
We love you!
Allie's Dad

God IS so GOOD! Allie is already touching the lives of so many people both near you and so so far away! What a blessing this Allie Cagen and her amazing family! Your new friends love you all and are continuing to lift you all up...and we know that there was never a doubt in Allie getting to where she is now - or where she will be tomorrow and then in several MORE tomorrows! May God continue to use Allie to show that He DOES still do miracles and we need only to look around to find them!
Another day of miracles! How wonderful that Dr. Gardner was able to see Allie. I KNOW he was totally amazed at her progress. This proves even more how powerful God is when people are open to healing and positive progress! We are all so proud to know you all.
