Good Morning
UNbelieveable, this is our 100th post. As it is every day, today starts with a day of refelection and gratitude - where we were, where we are and where we are going to be. As it is every day my heart is filled with gladness, sadness and anxiety. Aware of the past unsure of the future but positive of the outcome. FULL RECOVERY - NEVER A DOUBT.
With trepidation we will be taking Allie home tomorrow for a visit to reaquaint her with her towm, home, friends and most of all her dog Sammy. Should be quite an adventure. We will probably leave after breakfast and try to make it a day. Pray for us.
Right now her schedule of therapies has been cut down and she is really doing better and better every day - The miracle girl is making great strides in her recovery. She continues to amaze me with her strength and ability. I just can't wait until some of the verbal meanness calms down, she is just so confused. Brain injuries.
After therapy today Allie wants to go see the movie Hairspray so if she is still in the mood, that is what we will do. It is a moment to moment thing
Yesterday was an emotional day, somedays you just get so sad to see your child in such a state where she really does not know what is going on around her and to just think that she lives in the hospital and to see her there tears you up. This morning she told me that she was not going to go to college anymore because they took her brain our and she could not sing or dance anymore because it hurts so why should she go and waste money.
No matter how bad or emotional it gets your faith is always renewed by the great people of the world who call and write or stop by and visit and lift your spirits. From complete strangers to good friends not a day goes by where people don't help us survive.
Allie and I went downstairs before becasue she does not like the breakfast they send her (fruit plate, bagel and yogurt). Just an example she wants subway, then not she wants starbucks, no, cafeteria, then subay, starbucks, cafeteria, subway, cafeteria, starbucks .........
Anyhow enough about us - how are you guys doing? Let us know
We love you all
Allie's Dad

Dear Steve, Nancy, Allie and Matt,
Wow - 100 posts - thanks for each and every one.
Please know that when you take Allie home for her visit tomorrow you have all our best wishes, hope, positive energy and love.
Love, Clare and Kim
What must be going on in Allie's head has to be terrifying to her, but as it has so far, your family's love and strength will continue to strenghthen her spirit and God's blessing will continue to pour out on her and the rest of your family! Still praying for you all!
Dear Cagen's,
We too, focus on the positive. Being content, thankful for that which God has already done. Trusting Him for the future. Knowing that we are blessed and will continue to be blessed, even in the bleakest moments. God is faithful..."Great is Thy faithfulness...there is no shadow of turning with Thee..."
We have seen His hand at work, and He will again be faithful, though we may not see or understand how at the time.
Allie, continues to make progress. Each day is a day of healing (whether we notice/see it or not). To think she will see her home tomorrow! God has been faithful. He IS faithful.
Steve & Nancy, tomorrow may be a challenge for the return time at the end of the day (the doctors have already given you plenty of heads up on this, I am sure). We will especially be holding you all up in prayer for the event. Little Allie may be super-overwhelmed by the end of the day. Don't be surprised if the next day is one of those 'challenge' days as these are HUGE experiences for some. Overwhelming, after the fact. Just the emotions, trying to take it all in.
Anyway, you are all doing so great. Keep it up. Isn't it great to have Matt home! Like a breath of fresh air and a shot in the arm all at once.
Well, God bless you richly, we love and support you Camden's,
Marla & Fam
"Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the Lord."
--Psalm 31:24
May all the prayers you're recieving today lift you higher and give you peace.
You're in our hearts and in God's
hands. Full recovery--never a doubt...
Love,
Christina

You will be surrounded by love and prayers even more than usual you know. Allie - you are getting there and Full Recovery is just simply round the corner. Your voice, dancing and love will soon all be back in the right places and you no longer will be confused and lost. A blessing on you all for a great weekend. Much love SusanJ, Scotland
Hello Allie, Matt, Nancy, and Steve. My name is Angela. I am a flybaby from TN. That is how I heard about you. You are all an inspiration. I get on everynight to check on Allie. I am a single mom of 5 children ang my heart goes out to you. I just read the blog from today. I have a link to an article for Allie to read. It might give her some inspiration. Allie, God gave you your talent and he WILL take the pain away so that you can use your talent again. God loves you all. http://www.nbc10.com/health/4563166/detail.html This is about a girl that had half of her brain removed at the age of 8. Her own choice. A great example of FULL RECOVERY!
Have a great day tomorrow.
