Hi Guys
Maybe I should read the blogs after I write them and correct some of the mistake hoever I am not going to. I think that if I just write and then close it out without going back your are getting the purest thoughts as they come out. It brought up to me that yesterday my spelling was aprticulary off but it's really not the spelling, it's the typing. I am a really fast two finger typer. The one thing I messed up on yesterday was the legnth of time we have been here, I put 5 days when it should have been 25 days and today is 26.
We did not go to the Mellow Mushroom last night but instead wound up at the Augusta Grill, a nice place close to the hospital. We did not realize it was so fancy when we walked in. The people were super and somhow ( I can't imagine how) Nancy and the hostess got to talking about Allie and the hostess had heard of her???? Well the next thing we know they brought us a beautiful appetizer and two desserts. So yummy and oh so fattening. Thanks guys.
An amazing thing is happening, Allie, is shifting the world consciousness. This little girl which she sleeps and while she recovers is teaching people how to communicate, how to love each other, how to be caring and nice and all to strangers...she is helping people achieve full recovery. Please send her blog to your politicians and people in Iraq - maybe she can end the war??
I still cry, never tears of sorrow, never tears of anger but only tears of joy for what she is achieving even in her present condition. If Nancy and I weren't her biggest fans before (which we were) we certainly are now.
The partner of our neurosurgeon was in this morning and said Dr. gardner would probably want to put the bone flap back in here head next week. THIS IS HUGE!!!! At first he thought is would take about eight weeks and we are only at four. Nancy and I have prayed for this (along with ya'll) and have wanted it to happen prior to going to the rehab. Wahoo!!
Be back later today with some more exciting news. Hope I made a few less mistakes but really, how important is it.
With love and respect, here's to another day of hope.
YOUR BIGGEST FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YAHOOOOO!! That's such wonderful news about Allie today!! We are so glad. And you keep on typing away two-fingered - doesn't matter about errors - the love and hope pour through no matter what. Kiss your sweet girl for us and tell her we love her (and we love you and Nancy!)

I thank God for your blog. Your family has my prayers, but I think you are helping my family as much as my prayers are helping yours. Your blog is giving me a renewed spirit, and commitment to raising my children with not only a loving attitude, but helping me to always parent with a sense of devotion and wonder at all their little accomplishments. We all have those little accomplishments everyday that eventually add up to great things. We need to celebrate our children and make sure that they know it.
I treasure Allie's recovery and your family's joys.

Hi Cagen Clan!
Wish our family could be there to sing, "Happy Graduation to You, Happy Graduation to You, Happy Graduation Dear Allie...", anyway the tune you know, and our hearts are with you all.
Allie, we are still out here praying for you and cheering you on! WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU!!!
(Yes, we are shouting...from our hearts full of excitement and anticipation of the wonder and awe to come in your recovery Allie:)!
You just have no idea how much you are cherished!
Hey, Mom, Dad, Bro Matt...you are just unbelievable! Allie is so enormously blessed to have you and know that you care about her. Our prayers for you continue...for strength, hope, joy, complete rest, discerment, wisdom, and financial blessings to cover the costs to come.
You are all being held in God's hand (and He NEVER lets go of those who call on Him).
Hey Steve, don't let a few typos keep you from sharing your heart (in the light of eternity they don't even register as a blip on the timeline). Like the piano teacher says, "If you make a mistake, just keep playing."
Love you all, remember to keep FLYing!
We don't know you, or Allie, but have been following her story and helping send out positive thoughts. It is truly exciting to hear about the progress she has made. Best wishes to all of you as you move forward to full recovery. --J, Brevard

When a group of us Allie-fans (Madeline, Julie, Shelby and I) came to visit Allie this week, we were blown away by her immense progress. She is the most precious thing I have ever seen. We visited all together at first, then two at a time. When Madeline and I walked out of the room for our two person break, I started bawling.
I cry for every emotion, including happiness. It was the happiest I have been in so many months, and just thinking of that overwhelming feeling brings tears to my eyes now.
Your daughter is a miracle, in so many ways. You are amazing parents and I am so glad for your strength in yourself and your daughter.
much love and happy thoughts

It is so wonderful to hear how she improves each day. I pray for her every night, morning and then several times during the day..... every time she enters my mind. I thought about Allie when I picked up the newspaper and all the news was bad. I thought to myself, somewhere in this world GOOD things ARE happening. They just are not in print....except here (bad typing or not LOL) You are right, it doesn't really matter. We all read. Thank you for posting the pictures. It's nice to see smiles :O)
I hope you got my letter.
I just wanted to say that I'm a flybaby too and I heard you talk on world talk radio with Marla. My heart has been blessed ever since I heard about Allie.

To the whole Cagen family: Your announcement on Tuesday, June 11th about the Full Recovery Online Trauma Center is a great idea and I know that many people will want to participate including us! You may want to designate a section of your office as a temorary headquarters for the initial phases for your effort and post sighs and window displays for people, other than your patients, to see as they pass by. In a short time I think the whole of Brevard and the surrounding areas, including adjacent counties would get involved. GOD bless you in this enterprise and in your loving work with Allie's " FULL RECOVERY" We love you all!!!!!!!!!! Roy and Jane Masters
