Hi Everyone
Just a quick 4th of July note. Had a failry good day. Allie is being brutal with her words and it is very difficult to be around her at this time but we just stay calm and continue to love her - however right now it can be hard and we have had to take some breaks here and there. We are now sleeping back at the Ronald McDonald House - thank God as being in the room for two weeks and together 27 hours a day can make you crack.
Through out all of this new phase we just continue to love and encourage her. Nancy is taking a break and going home for a few days while i stay here with her. A much needed rest.
We took Allie out in town today and took her to the Mellow Mushroom, a favorite pizza place of ours and all went fairly well. Salad and pizza - what could be bad?
Today was a rediscovery of emotions and the feelings of extraordinary love. Our friends and patients and towns people rallied around during the 4th of July celebration at a booth we had up during the street fair to find out how Allie was doing and to give well wishes, love and support. I can not believe how much people (especially in our small town) will rally for one another and help a neighbor in need. These people spent their entire day working a booth for Allie and then thanked us for allowing them to have the experience - how can you not cry. Thanks everyone, I hope you enjoy the rest of your day and THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Today we have so much to celebrate.
Allie's Dad

I can feel your discouragement tonight. However, your baby girl has come such a long way. Just go back and read your first two or three blogs. It is truly a miracle that she can get dressed and walk to the rec room. I hope you get a good night's rest so that you can start tomorrow with renewed faith and hope. There are so many people keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
