It's amazing how much Allie has changed since she has been home. She still makes up a lot of things but I just look at it as her having a great imagination, but the really great thing is that the anger part of the made up stuff is rapidly dissipating. We will be hiring a home health nurse today and Nancy will be coming back to work on Monday!
Allie has brought us back to the Boyscout Motto of "Be Prepared" as when she wants something it is NOW. Just like a little kid when she is hungry it is NOW, or when she wants to go, it is NOW, bathroom - same thing but she is just so cute. She and I shent some time in town yesterday and, Wal-Mart (hey, it's the only store we got in town), the coffee shop and the supermarket and it was so great the way everyone in town embraces her and welcomes her back. I wish I could thank each and everyone of them but we just give each other a knowing look that says thank you for your love and support. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful community which has loved and supported us in every way.
Allie got me up early and wanted to go downtown to the bagel store, so off we went, had a good time and got back home without incidence - Wahoo!!!! It's getting better. She siad she wanted to go to Asheville tomorrow???????
Stay tuned.
Have a great day!!!
Allie's Dad

I just found your site and blog from the posts on the Amanda story. I've been documenting my daughter's daily activities since a week after her car accident on July 2nd. So many of the thoughts and fears you shared during trip to the hospital after finding out, weeks of ICU, and the feelings after getting transferred out of ICU and not being watched constantly can only be understood by us parents who have gone through it. We're still dealing with that now that Rachel is in rehab. It is unbelievable to see Allie graduating. It is so inspiring to hear her and see her on the videos. I am going to order a couple of shirts and bracelets. We are still at the rehab all day and night and staying at a hotel nearby but I will get it out asap. Thank you so much for sharing her story. My daughter's story is at www.caringbridge.org/visit/racheljuliano if you want to read it. Thank you for starting Full Recovery.
Dear Steve, Nancy, Allie and Matt,
Sounds like things are going very well for all of you, especially now that Allie's anger seems to be fading. Again, so happy for you guys and thanks for all you've done for me.
Always in our thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Clare
I am looking forward to coming to Brevard to sing with Allie. Hope each day will bring her a new song!
