I can not believe it is September, but I also said that about June, July and August.
Morning time and Allie is still sleeping. She has been so amazing during this process that words can not express the amount of love and admiration both Nancy and I have for her. Never once has she wimpered or complained. She has wanted to go home, as we all do but she has understood why she is here and here level of thought and determination is such that she wants to do whatever it takes to get well. God Bless Her.
I almost stared to write that I was stoping the blog this morning because I was having a hard time being positive but I read many of the e-mails this morning, especially Jen's and it helped me realize that being frustrated is a part of the process and something that goes with the good and that there are many people out there supporting us and cheering us on who want to know how we are and how we are doing no matter the level of frustration because so many of them have their own stories and identify with where we are. You see this is not my world! I do not belong her, I live in a world of wellness - not sickness and my believe is in a higher power, an innate intelligence which controls and coordinates all function in the body. I believe that Allie is fine and in grace and will continue to heal unimpeded by outside influences and that she will go on to reach and live at her highest God given potential.
I am a very protective father and I offer no apologies for that. I have certain belief patterns which I also offer no apologies. I have to go because they are heading to Allie's room but I will be back with great news of the day.

Dear Steve & Nancy,
Frustration to say the least! Talk about feeling like banging your head against a brick wall or running around in circles like a chicken with its head cut off...Yeah, been there done that. (May some day be there again. Only God knows.) But here is something I feel lead to share with you right now at this time...
"Be still, and know that I am God" (Psalm 46:10 NIV).
In the most frustrating moments when the mind is racing and the emotions are bouncing I have found this to be exactly what I needed to re-center/re-group/re-focus. Only then was I able to forge ahead in the best (sometimes different) direction that ended with reaching the goal.
Keep blogging! How can we know how to be praying without your communications?! We love you Cagens and are here. Still praying, still loving, still caring.
God's Richest Blessings Upon You All Today,
Marla & Family
Good for you for sticking to your guns about Allie's treatment, Steve. You are so right and have no apologies to make to anyone. You and Nancy know your daughter better than anyone and also know and understand the side effects of some medications. Don't lose faith and know that you are a wonderful dad and are doing the best for Allie. Give Nancy and Allie a kiss for us! We love you.
Tibby and Homer
I've been following Allie's progress and you must be tired and happy and frustrated. You must always be your child's advocate and a professional doctor will ALWAYS go over treatment and give you the risk/benifit of any procedure. Have you considered Atlanta and Children's Healthcare? Top notch pediatric neurologist, Roger Hudgins. You may have seen him on the news when he operated on Baby Nor from Iran. Only once has a doctor questioned my questioning them and we no longer saw her. Stick to your guns. P. Murray
