What a nice day. I'm happy to report that Allie's anger is starting to subside, at least for today and I have no reason to believe that she wil not do anything but get better and better. Full Recovery - Never a Doubt.
We had our meeting with the doctor and therapists today and had a great discussion. They all told us how Allie is doing and how far she has come and it's great to hear them positve about her and how well she is progressing. Each therapist was positve and the psycologist was very encouraging. We also met with Stan the Rehab Administrator and he was also great and encouraging offering to help in any way he could. We are all so blessed to be in this place. We also discussed what to do with Allie from here. We want to do the best for her and discussed maybe putting her in another full time rehab in Atlanta that comes highly recommended, one of the top 20 in the country but we were told that we were being premature. Just trying to get our ducks in a row. So as of right now we are going one day at a time and happy to be doing so.
We also met another family today that came back for a visit, Justin (19 years old) was in an auto accident last Sept 11. He rolled his truck end over end at 100 mph. Pretty much the same story as Allie and he is fine. The wierd part is that she is in the room that he was in. It's nice to see others who have gone through this and hear their stories and get support from them. This is exactly the intention of Full Recovery.net to build a support system. They were very encouraging and said Allie was way ahead of the game and would be just fine. Music to my ears.
Allie has been nice to me all day today (few minor minor episodes I was able to get her off of quite quickly) and that is a prayer answered. The goal or parameter for her coming home lies in her ability to be safe and the safety of others. Right now it's not possible but soon.
Nancy is a trooper and we are strong as ever and out faith continues to grow on a daily basis. We love each other and are committed to returning our family back to normal and even better.
Well I have to head back to Brevard as I have to work tomorrow. We still have plenty of bracelets and tee shirts left if you would like to waer one. The reason for wereing one is to show support and to let others see it. This is one way to get the name Full Recovery our and to continue to build our network of people helping people.
We love you all, we feel your prayers and we appreciate everything you have done for us.
Have a great night
Allie's Dad

Steve, I'm so glad to hear the good news of your meeting with the therapists and staff and their positive prognosis. This has been a bittersweet time, I know, dealing with Allie's behavior, but you and Nancy have kept the goal of full recovery in mind without hesitation throughout this time. We send our love and prayers to you all and know that Allie will continue to make incredible progress.

Hello Steve and Nancy and Allie--
Thinking of you tonight. We have started rehearsals for Beauty and the Beast and the music is thrilling. I can't wait for you to come see the ACT production.
Glad the meeting went so well today. You are all so strong--we know where the strength comes from!
My niece is with me and she saw you, Allie, as Alice in Wonderland.
Just think of all the kids who love theatre because of you!
Have a good night!

All news is great! Just remember Nancy and Steve if someone would have told you even a few short weeks ago that Allie would wander around, how elated that news would have been.
This girl is ahead of her game. I admire you guys and your spirit!
Hello Steve and Nancy and Allie
your all in my prayers daily..
