Christie is doing great. I talked to the dietitian today, and they are going to try increasing her tube feedings a little to make sure she isn't hungry. I should get a report Friday and see how that is going. Her therapies are going well. She really is doing a great job. She is a real fighter. Christie has already surpassed every ones expectations, and she is still going. I think she may be related to the energizer bunny.After all she is her mama's daughter.

MOTHERS
This is a truly BEAUTIFUL piece. Please Read this at a slow pace, digesting every word and in Leisure...do not hurry... This is a treasure...
>For those lucky to still be blessed with your Mom,This is beautiful. For those of us who aren't, this is Even more beautiful. For those who are moms, you'll love this.
>The young mother set her foot on the path of life. 'Is This the long way?' she asked. And the guide said:'Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it... But The end will be better than the beginning.'
But the young mother was happy, and she would not Believe that anything could be better than these years. So she Played with her children, and gathered flowers for Them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and The sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried,'Nothing will ever be lovelier than this.'
>Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was Dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother Drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children said, 'Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come.'
>And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and The children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children,' A little patience and we are there.'So the children climbed, and when they reached the top They said, 'Mother, we would not have done it without you.'
>And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up At the stars and said, 'This is a better day than the last, for my Children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness.Yesterday I gave them courage. Today, I've given them strength.'
>And the next day came strange clouds which darkened The earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children groped And stumbled, and the mother said: 'Look up. Lift your eyes to the light. ' And the children looked and saw above the clouds An everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the Darkness. And that night the Mother said, 'This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children God.'
>And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and The years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were tall and strong, and walked with Courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her, For she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a hill,And beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung wide. And Mother said, 'I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know the end Is better than the beginning, for my children can Walk alone, and their children after them.'
>And the children said, 'You will always walk with us, Mother, even when you have gone through the gates.'And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the gates Closed after her. And they said: 'We cannot see her But she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory. She Is a living presence.......'
>Your Mother is always with you... She's the whisper Of the leaves as you walk down the street; she's the smell of bleach In your freshly laundered socks; she's the cool hand On your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives Inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home; and she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love And your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can Separate you.Not time, not space... Not even death!
>I LOVE YOU MY BABY GIRL

Your right... She is her Mother's daughter! She did VERY well Tuesday on the bike. She was doing most of the work by herself. She also wrote answers to me on her board. I asked where she got the hat? She wrote "present" that was so cool! David finally got to meet Christie. He thought she was GREAT!! Will go back in a few days.
Paula
So what am I chopped liver? I taught Becky everything I know and it didn't take but five minutes. She's a fast learner. LOL
Isn't it great to see Christie doing so well. It makes you stop to realize how great and powerful OUR GOD is. He takes care of His children. Anyone that saw Christie when this first happened as we waited for them to "pull the plug"
and to see her now has to give the Glory to God because this is a Miracle that only He could have pulled off.
Keep praying and thanks Paula, Aaron and David for going to visit her. I know it makes her feel good to see Aaron too. You are great friends.
Love,
Mary, Christie's Mammaw
I know God has Christie in his hands and no one can know what God has in store for her. I do know one thing...God has plans for that young lady because he has shown us how much he wants Christie here with us because God has allowed her to show so much improvement. Family and friends will continue to pray and work things out to give Christie all she will need. God takes care of his children and his children takes care of their children. I will continue to pray for all of Christie's family, both in South Carolina and in Flordia. I know if everyone puts Christies needs first, everything else will fall into place. God loves us all and we need to give our love and thanks to God for keeping Christie here with us. Families, please pray for one another and make Christie proud of you...for one day, I feel she will be able to tell you just how proud she is of her family...
Prayers are Answered!!!
