TuesdayMorning, June 12th

Well GOOD MORNING Everyone:

I'm back and more renewed than ever - physically, emotioally and spiriually. Thank you, thank you for all of your kind words and concerns about me. I was just tired and needed a little rest. God is Good, God is Great. I love when you send verse and yes Pam P.B. cookies would be most excellent.

One of the things we have learned about being in the hospital is that you have to be very proactive, vigilant and communicative about your loved ones prior conditions, (what they were like). In Allie's case, she has never been on so much as an antibiotic or and aspirin. She was aught about the incredible healing power of the body and the God force within. She believes in the Laws of Attraction and knows that what she believes - she will achieve. I have learned to keep my eyes open not only for Allie but for others and that if you want a great breakfast order the fruit plate - it's awesome. I've learned that doctors and nurses are human but most are caring. I've learned that the chapel is a cool place and possibly the most under used room in the hospital.

Had a long talk with the nurse manager with regards to Allie's medications this morning ooking for things we can reduce of cut our all together and she was very receptive. Since we cut out some meds Allie is coming back to us. She vomited twice in the last 8 hours but that's OK, I'm as sure it just her body detoxing. Innate intelligence at work. If the body cdosen;t need it - it will reject it if it thinks it is helpful.

We wanted to move Allie to a room with alot more sunshine in it but one is not available yet. Since she may be having surgery toward the end of the week we wil hold off since she will probably go back to the ICU for a few days afterward. The surgery is way ahead of schedule which we are thrilled about but the doctor said it may set her back a few weeks. He may not will so we focus on the positive - remember this is Allie we are talking about.

Got here at 7:00 am to be greeted with a big smile and some twinkling eyes. It seem that since we stopped the med she is happy again. She is still not eating but that will come with time. Right now we are watching Frazier and just hanging out. 10 am sitll alot of day left and alot of healing - everyday is a good day for a breakthrough. So ofcourse I will do by evening post.

To all of my friends who have left posts, thank you - rest assurred that Nancy, Matt and I are fine as frog hair and right as rain. We are upbeat postive and grateful. Our faith is strong and we continue to serve Allie and others. To my OT friend, Thanks for the posts - I appreciate your continued advice, love and support. As you know, as much as I ould like to it is impossible to respond to everyone. I hope you understand and will take my general thank your's as being directely to you.

I am so excited and so grateful. Our good friend Kim Parrish called yesterday and said she would like to do a benefit for Allie on July 7th at the Soup Kitchen on Caudwell St. in Brevard. There will be bands and food..... Thanks Kim. You guys out there make me cry with your generosity. If you can make it 5-? pm I will see your there.

Quite a long post so I'll leave you will a scripture that has carried me. No matter where I go, this keeps turing up. "I know what I am planning for you,” says the Lord. “I have good plans for you, not plans to hurt you. I will give you hope and a good future” Jeremiah 29:11 (NCV).
