Christie is still making progress. Christie has a different brace for her left foot, because the left one kept hurting her.Evidently her foot is moving from the other braces pulling them into position. Christie also is to go for another swallow study at the end of November please pray she will pass this one. I hate for her to have to have the test done but if it will mean she can eat again it is worth it.I don't have the details, but I know speech therapy has been working with her swallowing.
The nurse was in her room feeding her and I was talking to her on the phone. The nurse got on the phone and ask me had I said something to Christie, that Christie was shaking her head NO. I laughed I said "yes" , "I told her to keep her seat belt on I didn't want her to get hurt." The nurse laughed to. Christie did get the lock for the seatbelt, so she can't take it off anymore.
Thanks for your continued prayers,
Becky

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

Well, little one, this is Linda and I get to sit with you mom and grandma at church. I love them both so much so I must love you sooooooo much also. I am praying hard that you will come home soon so I can meet you and help you rehab - but I think you have done a remarkable job on your own so far. Keep that fighting spirt in you and know that Jesus is right beside you doing the same exercises you are to see if he needs to push you for being slack!!! Start writing more we can share with all your friends up here in the good ole south.
Much love, Linda C
Hi Christie,
Hope you had a good day. We all love and miss you. I remember when you were just a little girl and was baptized. Keep that fighting spirit because the Lord is always there with you. We love your Mom and Mary too. Can't wait for you to come home so we can come and see you.
Love, Sharon & David Hayden
