Hi All
Short blog tonight. Allie is doing well -continuing to progress daily. Being Sunday, there were no therapy sessons scheduled so we just went on alot of very long walks. Allie did alot of walking on her own is is really regaining her balance and gait quite well. She is still talking every waking moment but she is funny as all get out, so it's enjoyable to listen to the stories she makes up. She still thinks she is living in a hotel and she is there because her legs are hurt. She sees the scars from where she had stitches and thinks that is what she is there for but she is getting increasingly more agitated at being there and wants to come home.
A few of Allie's friends stopped by today and it brings everything to a new level each times someone comes. It's great to see her remember them and it brings back memories for her. Today Allie said she was going to college in September in NYC but could not remember the name of the college.
Her nurses are dolls, Kendra and Judy have been doing a fanastic job with her and we could not be happier with them. Kendra has been doing a great job with Allie getting her to eat which she did 3 times today - not alot but Kendra sits her in a chair and get her structured as if she were eating at home.
Right now little things are big victories and we are there for her every second of every day. They were not kidding when they said we would not know her after three weeks in the rehab and they are right. She is once again spelling and doing basic math and it is only a matter of time before she is 100% and legitimate.
I have taken her to her old floors in th ehospital and it is alot of fun to see everyone and show them how well they are doing.
Find of freaky, when I was driving home tonight with Matt, there on the side of the road was some of the wreckage from her accident. They must have pulled it out of the woods and left is at the side of the road to be picked up. I pretty much got sick to my stomach. You know it is not the fact that she had the accident or where she is now but what will always bother me is how she must have been hrting and suffering while she was trapped inside the vehicle waiting for help. I will Always be so grateful to all of my angels who helped her. You know who you are and we all love you so much.
OK this is much longer than I wanted it to be so good night everyone. I will be posting some ner pictures tonight.
Love Ya'll
Allie's Dad

Nice pictures.
Amazing Allie! What a great sense of humor and what a great update! I am so proud of all of you for hanging in there and doing what HAS to be done - you just DOING it is HUGE, but in keeping the morale as high as you all have for Allie and her team is, I am certain, the vital part of her pushing on. God has blessed you and now blessing us you continue to make the circle go on and on - I look forward to that meeting with a Fully Recovered Allie! May God continue to bless all of you and keep these great updates coming! :o)
Another wonderful day of progress for Allie! Even though I don't send a post every day, it is the first place I go to on the computer in the morning. We are so connected to Allie and your entire family through this journey to healing. Bless you, Allie. You have so much magic ahead of you.

What great pics and news of Allie! We are back from Italy and the rather large problems we encountered were put back into persperctive when I managed to get online to see the blog. God is certainly with you and your family - and his angels will keep nearby. Love to you all.

HI-- everyone at the recital Sunday afternoon was excited to learn of Allie's strength. Many of them have heard her sing and send their good wishes. We actually dedicated the music to her!
I hope to see you on Friday. Keep the Love going,
Ginger
