I'm kinda at a loss as to what to report. Christie is hanging in there and doing O.K. Saturday I was concerned because Christie said " She wanted to Die, and she wanted to come home" She seems to have gotten better through the day and the rest of the weekend. She continues to pull out her feeding tube, and she wants to come home. On a lighter note, Christie has been playing her Nintendo DS I got her for Christmas. She wanted it, so I sent it with her care package and the nurses say they have seen her playing it. Also near as I can tell Christie's suppose to have another swallow test and hearing test at the end of November. Details as I get them. Thanks for the continued prayers, especially with the holiday season approaching.

Still making progress
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

The nurse got back on the phone and wanted to know what I had said to Christie, that Christie was shaking her head NO. I laughed and told her I had told Christie to leave her seat belt on and she was shaking her head no. That's my girl. I love you sweetie.

Behave yourself
Hey Christie D.
I love you and miss you. I called to check on you today like I do everyday several times in fact. I was told you took your seat belt to your wheel chair off and fell. They are going to do an x-ray to make sure you are O.K. They said you only slid but you slid to the foot rest of the chair. Listen to your Mama, " Don't take off your seat belt it is there to keep you safe. I know you want to get up and move, but you can't yet. With continued therapies and the Lords will, you will walk. When you say your prayers, ask God for what you want. The Bible says you have not because you ask not, so talk to God like you where taught and ask for your blessing. I Love you bunches. " I'll think of you as we watch cold case together just like we use to. I asked them to turn it on for you.
Love,
Mama

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
Hi all,
Sorry I haven't written, I couldn't get on my blog page due to user error, I had blocked something in security and couldn't get on. Anyway I titled this update Halloween because Christie has always loved Halloween. I will add some pictures of Christie's past costumes.
I call everyday several times to check on Christie, nothing much to add. Richard and Angie got to visit Monday, they called and let me talk to Christie. Sharon asked when I was going to get to go see Christie again, the answer is as soon as I can. I am tapped out, due to attorneys fees and all the visits I've made thus far. As soon as I save up enough, I'll be gone again. This time, My Daddy is going to make the trip, We will have to take it slower, due to his medical condition. Daddy hasn't seen Christie since her last trip home in December. For those of you close to the family, you know what I mean when I say Daddy needs to go as soon as he can if he is going to see her. I would love to go now, but I have to be content with sending Christie care packages every week. This week I sent her new clothes for her new school, besides she needed winter clothes anyway, all she had was shorts and Capri's for summer.
Thanks for every ones prayers,
Becky

Still remembers
Christie is having a good day. She wanted to talk to me so the Facility I will call it FCC for short called me. Christie remembered I am still only a phone call away.I wish I knew what she was saying back but she got to hear me and know I was there. She got her letter from me today. It did arrive Thursday, but it was in an office somewhere, so she got her letter. The nurse said Christie did a thumbs up when she read it.

Really doing good
Christie seems to be doing good at her new "home" I call several times a day, and every time I call, she is either in activities, on her way to activities or just got back. I don't have an update on how she is doing in therapies yet, but I know she has them 3 times a week for 30-45 minutes each. Christie asks where she is, and she looks at the pictures from the wreck and seems to be understanding more, or at least remembering more. Christie remembered she is 16 that is better than when she thought she was 13.I sent her Halloween costume, but she hasn't gotten it yet, it was suppose to get there Thursday, but you know how the mail can get. That's another thing, Christie will get to dress up and take part in the Halloween festivities that the center is having.
Keep praying Christie will remain happy and in good spirits,
Becky

Missing her even more
Christie seems to be settling in, although she asks about me when she wakes up and says she wants to go home. I called to check on her today. Today was movie day. I was excited she would be going to the movies, it has been a very long time since she has gotten to do or go anywhere other than the doctors. She didn't get to go today, because Richard hasn't signed the papers for her to be permitted to go. Maybe he will soon.
Keep praying,
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
