Dear Friends
It is with great sadness that I will no longer be blogging. Apparently the blog is causing Allie to much stress and she is becoming resentful that I am doing it.
This blog means everything to me and to many of you, however it is now work causing Allie or our family the amount of stress it has been.
I can not tell you how much your love, blessing, gifts and well wishes have meant to us. They have pulled us through the darkest days of our lives and have carried us when we could not stand alone.
Full Recovey will become a reality and it is thanks to you so please check that site and pass it along. It will not be long before it is completely done and we are helping people aroung the world. Full Recovery Radio is now a reality and will air Tuesday Evenings at 7:00 eastern time. Just log on to www.blogtalktadio.com to hear the show and a phone number will show up on the screen where you can phone in. So we will be able to talk live and I want to get to know each and every one of you.
Please check back often as Allie may at some time want me to start blogging again, so it is with tears in my eyes and a broken heart that I say goodbye.
God Bless You All. Full Recovery - Never a Doubt!!!!

Tuesday Evening, September 25th
Today was a keeper!! Wow, what an awesome day full of memories that I will keep forever.
Allie and I went to therapy this morning and it was good. I asked Alli's therapist if I could have the first and last few minutes of each session to go over my thoughts with her and to get her feedback on how Allie was doing. One of the things I have discovered along the way is that if you do not ask them, they will not just come out and tell you. This is where Mark Clark at the rehab excelled - he, after knowing how much we wanted to be involved, went out of his way to find us each day and spend time explaining to us what was going on, what his rational was for what he was doing, where he was going with his treatment and what he thought the outcome was going to be. I believe on the website I will add a downloadable card that says just that: 4 questions: and 1 piece of advice.
1. What are you doing
2. What is you rational for doing it
3. Where is this treatment leading us
4. What is your expected outcome
5. Question until you are satisfied
Anyhow I asked her the 4 questions and I was satisfied so that was that. Unfortunately, to many health providers get their dander or insecurities up when you ask them questions but you have every right in fact it is your duty to know everything that is happening so you can make an informed choice .
Well after therapy we headed to the Maggie Valloey, a beautiful mountain community on western Morth Carolina. This place is a throw back in time with nice shops..... We drove to one shop which said the most photographed spot in the mountains so we both got out and went in. It was you typical mountain store with knick-knacks, and jellies and ciders. Seen one, seen 'em all but they had a large metal tower that you could climb up and see the view for the low low price of 50 cents each, so after Allie agreed up we went. Three weeks ago the girl couldn't climg 10 stairs and today she went 83 up and 83 down (I'll add pictures later). What an awesome accomplishment!!! She is doing so good. We just sandg the whole ride up and were happy to be with each other. It is so good for me to hang out with her and it just means so much to me.
After the stair climb we drove down to an amusement park in the mountains called Ghost Town. Now you have to picture that this is a mountain amustment park so everything is on the top of a huge mountain and the only way up is on a chair lift. As Allie would say Oy Guvalta. Anyhow we paiud our fair and off we went on this HUGE chair lift. I'm gonna say it again HUGE chair lift. Well we had a great time going up and Allie really liked it. It took about 15 minutes to get up. When we got off, I had them stop the lift all the way so Allie could get off easily and they happily obliged.
The amusement park was closed but the restaurant and a few other things were open so we played the shooting game ind it was a hoot. I showed Allie how to hold the rifle and off she went. She hit a few targets and we had alot of fun. Then in the gift shop we bought a Wizard of OZ mug. Allie has started collecting coffee mugs with actors and movie themes on them. How fun.
Also on the way up the chair lift they take your picture and ours came out great - it's really funny. Of course I bought it and ofcourse you will get to see it - as soon as I get it scanned. Then it was a beautiful ride down. The sun was shining and the temp. was probably 75 and just georgous. It was the kind of day you never want to end.
Well we were both hungry so we stopped for a little Mexican then 20 minutes of shopping and home we go - piano lessons at 3:30. While shopping we did manage to fine some home made chocolate and bought just a few pieces. We have decided to limit out chocolate intake.
The way home was just as much fun as the way there and we got home in plenty of time. Bob he instructor showed up, they had a great lesson and here we are. Allie and Bob get along just fine.
I'm going to go now. Allie is standing over me right now getting annoyed that I am writing.

Tuesday Morning, September 25th
I am going to start today's blog by asking everyone to pray for our friend Rachel Juliano that her recovery is a speedy one and that God will bless her and her family with a love and healing. That he will calm their hearts and help ease their pain. For personal reasons, they have chosen to close their blog site and all of our hearts go out to them. As many of you have been following her progress, I will update you as I am updated on her condition.
Yesterday was fun and different. I worked until 9 am and then Nancy came in and took over and I took Allie to therapy. After therapy Nancy called me and told me she would like tot work the rest of the day and for me to just take off with Allie. How fun. We drove around through the Biltmore village, then picked up Matt, came home, cooked dinenr and did her homework. She did really well staying focused for a while but then got a little frustrated or tired and we put it away. I will be having a talk with the therapist today because I don;t understand why she is giving Allie the work she is giving her and it's HARD I tried it for 45 minutes and couldn't get it, then Matt tried it and couldn't get it, so how is Allie going to get it? Iknow there is a reason, I just have to find it out.
We will be off to therapy in a few minutes and then off for a day of hanging out. I saw Allie had developed a rash on her feet and Nancy spoke to the neurologist who assurred her that was OK and only to worry if it was on the trunk of her body,
Have a great day

Monday Morning, September 24th
It always flips me out when I see the date and realize that we are at the end of another month.
Good Morning Everyone
Good weekend, all was well and even better than that. Sat. was quite uneventful with me taking Matt to the motorcycle show and Nancy taking ALlie to the movies. All in all a very quiet day with no highs and no lows.
Sunday was also a good day. I seemed that Allie once again became more awaye on Sunday. I took her to get cranial work done as I do every Sunday and it seems to be helping her in many ways but each time she gets off of the table she seems more centered, calmer and I don;t know how to say it but closer to Allie. After her session we went to lunch and then drove 40 minutes and walked down the old time Main Street of Hendersonville, NC.
Spent alot of time playing cards. The memory game where you turn matching sets of cards face down on a table and themeach person turns over two at a time and the idea is to rember where the cards are so you can match up the pairs. She is dowing that well which is a great improvement to her short term memory. Also playing a lot of pool.
Had lunch with the flylady on Friday and she is helping me get the radio show off of the ground. It will be Tuesday evenings from 7-8 pm eastern time. I'll get back with more details tonight but it will begin Oct 2nd and you will be able to listen to it over the internet.
Allie is having a hard time with Matt right now. Seems she transfers her picking on to different people and right now it's Matt. Kind of hard for a 15 year old boy to not snipe back and in most cases he dosen't - but sometimes (who wouldn't) but I am very proud of both of them and it's kind of refreshing to see some sibling bickering. I guess it's a sign that things are returning to notmal.
There are some times I am with Allie such as yesterday when we were in a hippie store and she struck up a conversation with the guy behing the counter (mid-50's) and just stood there talking polotics and other things with him until I broke it up to leave that things appear quite normal. I spoke with her about having a tutot come over the house to brush her up on college level skill and she agreed that would be a good idea, as long as it wasn't chemistry. I also brough up the idea of going to see a trainer to begin light working out and she agreed at first but then told me she was not going to lift weights as lifting thins still hurt her. She also said her knees still really hurt. Her poor knees took a beating in the accident and have many deep scars on them.
It's a fresh new week and what a great way to start, quiet time, blog and off to work. I know this is going to be a breakthrough week. I am starting to feel my motivation come back where I want to get more projects going again, get Full Recovery - Fully off the ground and get as many people inspired to healing as humanly possible. Last night was the first night I felt comfortable leaving Allie in the living room or dan alone while I went in my office and did some work. Normally I feel like I have to be right there with her so this was a big step and feeling comfortable doing it was even bigger.
If you are in brevard, NC on Saturday, the flylady will be doing a free event at the High School from 9-5. You can get more details at flylady.net
Wll off to work. Have a blessed day and remember that whatever you focus on today will become your reality.

Saturday Morning, September 23rd
Bright and early. The dogs started barking at aroung 5:30 so I jumped up to get them out before they woke up the family but for Allie it was to late. She was already up but now has me to hang out with. Once the dos were out we went in the pool room. The lights stayed out in the room and I sat on the couch just watching her on the computer answering her e-mails. I still can not believe how fast this girl can type, even in the dark. Just one of those things that has always amazed me about her and Matt as I humt and peck with my four finger typing.
Sorry about no blog yesterday but I was tired, bummed out and just kind of on edge. Allie was to go to work yesterday but was bumped to lunch since the evening guests cancelled so there was no one there for breakfast. As I was driving her down there, we got a block from the inn when I noticed something was wrong with her hand. Again she couldn't move it. Instead of getting all freaked out we just decided to go home. I told her right then that we were not going to the hospital we would just go rest. Now the amazing part is that she kind of knew what was happening and I believe willed it to stop and go away. She picked up her left hand with her right and put it on her lap her little fingers curling under. At this point I'm under control but with my heart breaking as I watched her start to massage her fingers so they would straighten out. As I turned the corner to go home I was devestated but saw her working on it and then as if she just told it to go - it went away and began working again; within a minute or two things returned to normal and she was fine. We went home and rested.
The rest of the day was spent checking on her and keeping our positive thoughts flowing. I am so grateful that it was such a short episode or that she has come to control it but will we be forever on edge. I think not but you still wonder. Full Recovery means keeping a positive outlook towards the end goal, whatever that may be and accepting the plans God has created for you, still we are human and have frailities. Today has already begun anew and we have a happy, healthy girl up early, smiling, laughing and enjoying the day, On the ouside I am also. There is an old saying the use in one of the twelve step programs. Never compare your insides to someone elses outsides. It basically means - don;t compare how you feel to the way someone else looks. Guess you could come up with your own meanings but if you have ever seen someone and wondered how they were doing so well when you were crumbling the truth is - they may not be. Please do not read anything more into this - I am not crumbling, I just always type whatever comes into my head.
Last night Nancy and I had a neighbor stay with Allie for a few hours while we went to a friend birthday party down the road. Scary but necessary to get out and work on our relationship every now and again. Home at 9:30 - waht a bunch of party animals.
Well it's still pitch black out and I am excited. I get to spend the day with Matt. We are going to a motorcycle show as we both ride and this is an interest we have in common. What could be better than two men together with thousands of motorcycles and carnival food?

Thursday Night, September 20th
Well we made it past ninteen days (the amount of time Allie was home the last time before going back in) so I am breathing again. Not supersticous but then again?
Good day for Allie and I today but she was very rough on Nancy and even though you can rationalize the injury, words sting never the less and when you mix that with tired, tired, tired it is a recipe for well let's just go to bed and have a better day tomorrow.
I took Allie to therapy today and even though you want to ask each therapist how she is doing everytime you go I have resisted. I know she is doing well and will check in once a week - intellectually I know this is not an overnight process and I want to hear the therapist tell me that she is doing awesome and doesn;t have to come anymore but that day will and I just have to hold myself back. It's kind of like the old days and I am sure I am like every parent who likes to hear how well thier child is doing . It's a pride thing I guess, we are all so proud of our children and I am just as proud of her at this moment then I have ever been. One thing I especially like is when she comes out of the therapy room and she is smiling and upbeat and she seems to have had a good time. She is not frustrated or angry - just a little girl coming home from another day at school and all went well on the playground.
After therapy it was off to lunch and then some shopping and back to the office. Nancy is having alot of fun being back at work and I have to admit I am so glad to have her back. her energy is incredible and her smile - like always puts a glow around the building - that's what attracts new patients to our practice.
Allie is going to work tomorrow. She was going to start off with one or two takes for breakfast but the guests cancelled so she will be going in for lunch. Yikes! The boss and I are good friends and they all love Allie so much they will and always have treated her as one of their own family. While I am comfortable, it will be the first time she is away from Nancy or myself and I am having anxiety. Kimmi will never give Allie more than she can handle I just want her to do so well and it's like a parent letting go - I just don't want her to get hurt in any way and I want her to be proud of herself for the job she has done and I am sure she will be.
The web site is coming slow and I am beginning to get frustrated. Maybe I am looking to start to big and just need to take this into my own hands and get something up and then work on refining it from there. I will be having lunch with the flylady tomorrow to seek out some help and advice. Some of her advice today was to get my own internet radio show so that is now done and Full Recovery Radio will make its debut on October 2nd at 7pm - 8-pm. The time and day may change but will be every Tuesday at 7pm after that until other notice. I will get you more info over the weekend but please, please, please help me get the word out. It will be live and we will have guests and we will be able to take calls and blogs while on line.
That's plenty for today. I love you all.

The web site is coming slow and I am beginning to get frustrated. Maybe I am looking to start to big and just need to take this into my own hands and get something up and then work on refining it from there. I will be having lunch with the flylady tomorrow to seek out some help and advice. Some of her advice today was to get my own internet radio show so that is now done and Full Recovery Radio will make its debut on October 2nd at 7pm - 8-pm. The time and day may change but will be every Tuesday at 7pm after that until other notice. I will get you more info over the weekend but please, please, please help me get the word out. It will be live and we will have guests and we will be able to take calls and blogs while on line.
That's plenty for today. I love you all.
Allie's Dad
