Good Morning and HAPPY FATHERS DAY to everyone out there. Personally I have never had a better one and have never been more grateful. There will be no BBQ's or drives on the bluridge parkway, and who cares, I have found a much simpler happiness in hospital foor and walks arounf the second floor. My friends have written (or will), my new family has good wishes for me, Nancy and Matt are here and most of all, Allie has recovered and God has given me this minestry and the computer to reach all of you. Holidays have never been about presents or what can I get but have always been about love and being with the ones and I am. So thank you all for your best wishes - right back at ya!
Allie is doing very well this morning and her personality is starting to show again. It amazing how fast she is recovering - or is it? We all know who is truly at work her. I got in just before 7:00am this morning and the nurse was in with Allie. She was awake and they were wakching a movie together. She said hi when she saw me and then went back to watching. She is talking alot! Some makes sense - some does not - who cares, with each passing moment she is becoming more and more lucid. One thing she does not like is the head dressing she has on and has pulled it off so many times I just said forget it and have left it off. She has these boxing gloves kind of things we put on her hands to keep her from picking at her stitches and pulling her bandages off but they makes her mad - sooooooo, we just watch and keep her from picking. That can kind of drive ya nuts as thats all she wants to do (five million times a day) but just when you get frustrated you look at her and smile and do it again another five million times.
She is still not eating and has probably dropped 20 pounds we keep trying. I am sure that soon she will get back to it. Nancy fed her a small cup of vanilla ice cream last nice and she ate it.
Just as short morning note to wish everyone a Happy Fathers Day and to let you know how much we love and appreciate you.

Happy Father's Day Steve!! We are so glad that Allie is progressing with her recovery!!!
Hey Allie!!! It's Jessie Garren and I just wanted to say "Hang in there!!" You are doing an amazing job with your recovery!!! I pray for you every night for your full recovery, which I know God hears all of our prayers and is right by your side every second of your life! I hope you like the Build-A-Bear I sent you! She was just so cute and cuddly and just reminded me of you! I'm hoping to come visit you soon maybe sometime this week!
Not to spend too much time on myself, but I am now getting my chemo treatments in Hendersonville at Parkridge hospital. It is a lot different there than it was back in New York! I'm the only one there under the age of 45. It's kind of nice, though, because it's much more quiet and the recliners are very big and comfortable!! Anyway, we think and keep praying that the cancer is going away even more than it already has, but we will find out for sure on June 9th when we go back up for scans!
But anyway, I know that you are doing just fine and that you will be back up and at it again soon as you are definitely a fighter and I know you can't wait to be up in New York making your way to the big stage!!! Maybe when I go back up there for check-ups I'll go see a play and you will be the first one to make your appearance with the spotlight on you. Then the audience will go wild and start clapping for the amazing, wonderful, talented Allie Cagen!!!!! that would be sooo cool!
Well, it's now 12am and I have a lot to do tomorrow! So, I hope that when you read this you will have had a wonderful night's sleep and that something new and wonderful will happen, well I guess I can officially say today!
I love you Allie and will never stop praying for you! I'm praying for you too Mom, Dad, and Matt. I know this is hard but God is watching over you and your daughter/sister every moment and He is healing her by the blood of His son.
Enough said:) have a great day today! See you soon!!!
Blessings upon your family today and always--may they keep coming and make "full recovery" a reality in every way.
My love and greetings to Allie!
