Sunday Morning, August 26th

It appears that I'm running a day behing but that's OK.

Yesterday was just a hang out day. We all sat around and had a huge family breakfast and then hit the couches for the day to watch movies together. Allie seemed to do well as she always does when she is home. Now it's my turn, seems like I have an abscess in a tooth or something and the entire right side of my face is swollen. Oh well.

Weather is wierd so probably the same plans for today except I might have to go seek some help. What the heck...........

Anyhow, Dr. M the scarce guy I wrote about called yesterday to see how Allie was doing. Nice job - little late but much appreciated. Allie ws playing rummy with Nancy last night and was using her left hand again to hold onto things; cups, cards ..... How awesome to see her use that left hand and not drop things every few seconds. The hardest thing now, for all of us and especially Nancy is to wait for her to get up in the morning to see how she is doing. She had never had a problem (knock on wood) and the for that one day when she woke up and looked the way she did it levaes you full of anxiety wondering everyday now if she will wake up like that again.

I like when she says I lvoe you and gives you hugs now. The medication seems to be working and we will move her appointment with the neurosurgeon up. I think the one thing we all need to remember that in the hospital and in life we are in charge and it felt really good to take our power back, scary as it may seem and we have to make the final decision as to what we are comfortable with and understand that God gave us an innate healing ability and we have to trust that. Glad science is here even more glad that God is.

So where does this leave us? On the road to Full Recovery, where else!!!!!!

I guess my question for today is, how can I make my families life a little better today, how can I show them that I love them, how can I be selfless for that is when I will grow, so is being selfless - selfish because I am growing or am I growing because I am not thinking about me - quick someone call a monastery and get me a reservation. I just love quantum physic - don't you, makes you think so hard that when you stop thinking and just experience - enough of that just watch the secret (www.thesecret.tv) or what the bleep (Great DVD) or the books are even better. They deal with Universal Principles escpecially the Laws of Attraction.

I was supposed to take my sister Roni (who is just so cool) for an airplane ride today but we will seeI want so much to hug you all and let my friends Dr. Rick and Donna Humiston and family how much they mean to us. There are some people in the world that you don;t talk to alot but that you have spiritually connected to and know that they are always there; just like most of you guys.

The more I sit the more I could type but I hate to bore you with my ramblings so have a great day.

Love Y'all
Allie's Dad
