Another good day yesterday and on the road to Full recovery.
Yesterday was a full day and Allie did great but one thing I forgot was that she had a voice lesson on Thursday and did a great job for Ms. Ginger.
Funny way the Universe works. My pal Joey D recommended a top neurosurgeon for me to talk to that knows however, I could not get to him on the phone and was almost resigned to never speaking with him. Well yesterday Nancy and I dropped our cars off for service at a dealership in Asheville and as I was standing at the service desk waiting for Nancy to arrive a sporty black Mercedes roled in and a guy in scrubs got out and came over tot he counter as, I am sure you can guess by now he was wearing a white lab jacket with his name on it and it was the doctor I was trying to get in touch with. My how the universe provides. Anyhow, we got to talking and he referred us to a neurologist in our area and gace us the referral to get in. How cool.
After that we went to the rehab center and Allie met with and got evaluated by the new Occupational Therapist and Speech Therapist. As it turns out the OC said Allie did not need her as she was really doing well with her activities of daily living and the speech therapist was really good - 16 years of working with brain injuries - so we are in the right places.
After that we went pool table hunting and found one and a beautiful person from our community called and gave us a wonderful foosball table. It was a day when everything in the universe was in alignment.
This morning Nancy went canoeing with some friends and Allie and I will be going to the flea market - one of our favorite past times that we always did together.
Have a beautiful day.

Dear Steve, Nancy, Allie and Matt,
Serendipity - Isn't it great?
Dropping your car off and you run into the neurosurgeon you were almost resigned to not being able to get in touch with. What a fantastic experience. Then finding out Allie is not in need of the occupational therapy followed by the foosball table - wow!
Allie - you are doing so beautifully.
Here's to another great day!
Love, Clare and Kim
Hello Full Recovery friends
and especially the Cagens,
The Nia Fitness Jam/fundraiser for Allie and Full Recovery this morning raised $170.
We had A LOT of fun, and it was great to get the word out and bring more attention to the positive expectation of FullRecovery.
With love,
Ondine
On a tough note, I don't know if you have kept up with the Rachel Juliano story that you told us about a few weeks ago. They are having some pretty tough issues with the situation that led to Rachel's brain injury - please be in prayer for them.
On a lighter note: Today rates right up there with a day in heaven doesn't it?!? :o) I am so thrilled that all went so well - may you have many more days like today!
