And now for the 6:00 news. Sorry if I'm sounding punchy but I try to find new ways to open the blog. My how time flies by, can't believe it has already been 5 days. Wow has our girl come a long way in a short period of time.
Today she kissed me! We were sitting there gazing at each other and making funny faces when she grabbed my hand and put it to her mouth; while she didn't make the kissing sound I knew what she meant and so did she. It is so hard to describe the feeling of how your body tingles and the adrenaline rush you get when these things happen.
Allie is funny and bright and understands what is happening around her. She likes to play pranks and joke with you. She still has a little devil in her eyes and they twinkle when she is messing with you. She laughed today and made noise. Cool. She also said her first word today, although it was low and not real clear - she said NO 9of course). We are on the way guys, pretty soon it will be non-stop chitter chatter-can't wait!
She is eating somewhat and today she put the tooth brush in her mouth and made a few strokes and but the coms in her hand and ran it through her hair which by the way is growing in nicely. Sweet tooth is back (waych out) Nancy brough a pack of Reese's pieces back to the room and offered one to Allie which she took and gobbled up in a second, then she pointed to the other one and gobbled that one down also, Oh Lord.
Her assistant urse Horlune is an angel sent from heaven who watches over Allie and tends to her every need. We are so thankful for her. In fact since my meltdown the other day, everyone treats Allie like a queen.
The nurses and doctors agree that Allie is making great progress and are excited. Full recovery - never a doubt.
Spoke to the usiness office with regards to getting her into the Rehab. Bottom line is, she will go, we will pay, end of story. Full recovery - never a doubt.
Well, Nancy and I are going to go out for an hour to get a Pizza and a salad at the Mellow Mushroom in downtown Greenville, so if your in the area stop by and say hello. She'll be the good looking blonde, I be the tall bald guy. Seriously, if you ever feel like stopping by the hospital to say hello, please do so, you are not bothering us and yes Allie is accepting visitors.
We love you.
Allie's Dad

Wow, Allie just keeps pushing and pushing towards Complete Recovery. Go, Allie, Go!!! Loved reading about the kiss- that just made my heart melt.
On another subject, Steve, I have to say I love reading your blog entries- I feel like you are sitting here talking to me. You have that "stream of consciousness" style down pat. Very cool.
You remain in our thoughts and prayers. Please take care of yourselves and each other.

I just learned of Allie's accident today and I am just thanking God that she's doing fine and she will recover
Allie: I'm thinking about you and praying for you constantly, and I know you'll come through like the strong, classy young woman you are.
I will be definitely coming down this summer to check up on you. I miss you lots
Love

Steve and Nancy,
So glad you guys got out together for awhile - Mellow Mushroom is one of our favorites! Seeing Allie last weekend really bouyed my spirits - those AMAZING eyes checking everything out - absolutely no doubt...full recovery. And a lot sooner than anybody thought! Big hugs and kisses to you both (and Matt - he cracks me up). Steve...I light the candle every night as well - it is an amazing feeling.
Hey My sweet Allie Girl...... Only 24 hours until your High School Graduation, YEAH.....You did it baby, and there's absolutely nothing in this world that you can't do. Why...Because, you're ALLIE..... ALLIE CAGEN..... I read these blogs every day, and I get the updates as well, (and I know I'm truly blessed myself for getting them) and am amazed at how well you are recovering, You totally shine Grody Girl and it was never a doubt in anyone's mind. I know you know this already, but you have the most amazing Family in the world. I have never seen so much love in my entire life being sent from your mom, your dad, and your brother. You are so blessed Allie to have them, and they are so blessed to have you. I have no doubt that this is why you are recovering so quickly, from all the love and prayer being sent your way. But this is who you are sweetheart. THE WORLD LOVES YOU AND YOU LOVE THE WORLD, (It's great to be Allie), so you just keep doing what you're doing, and I'll see you again soon. CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION CHICK. I love you sweetheart,
Aunt Roni
Good Morning Dear Ones,
It was such a joy to see the little mischievousness in Allie the other night. Her eyes tell a lot. When she tried to mimic Steve with the coin in the ear trick and handing you (Nancy) the coin to hide, it was adorable. I especially loved the part when she gave back the $50.00 and took the $100 bill from your hand Steve. SMART GIRL!!!!
I think back to the first days, how amazing to watch someone grow so fast. I agree with Roni, with a family like yours who wouldn't. Nancy with you there every day, and both of your constant words of unconditional Love, Wisdom, Patience and understanding she will continue on the path to a full recovery, (now you have me saying it Steve).
Matt... Congrats on completing the 9th grade!! Allie Congrats on graduating High School!! Nance you are my BFF, I can't wait for our next night out. Steve... what can I say "You're the bomb Dude!!"
Love and Peace, Brie
