Coming Home
Im extremely pleased to announce that Richard will be discharged from FINR August 1, 2008. Yes, this is next Friday!!!!! Im a little nervous to have that responsibility of caring for him so I need all your prayers. He still is wobbly when he walks so he cant be left alone. He still speaks very slowly and has a hard time remembering things currently and from the past. Also his diet is still soft foods so Ill have to be creative in the kitchen. But Im so happy he has progressed enough to not be under direct supervision of a doctor. Three months ago we werent sure he would live. He still will attend therapy everyday at Fawcett's outpatient sports and rehab center. Eventually (hopefully) he can wean those down to not as often. We added a room to our house for him specifically so he can feel like he has privacy but I can keep my eye on him. Luckily, Im off school for 9 days ( Im between semesters) after his discharge so I can reacclimate him back to the community. Please keep my family in your thoughts. Adjusting to full time care of a loved one is scary but I know he would do it for me. Christie will remain at FINR for awhile. Hopefully one day she will return home also.

It's Nichole. I'm going to post something, I wish to have you read it to Christie sometime after her birthday, thank-you.
A car crash,
that's something that happens all the time,
but I am torn.
I was so close to a person,
a girl
She was hit in a car crash.
I was with her the day before,
So I feel like it was my fult,
I have so many things to talk to her about,
But I i can't even go see her!
I feel so bad,
I feel that if I go see her,
I will hurt both of us.
She meant a lot to me,
She was as one would say,
my light.
Even now, days before her birthday,
I can't even go to give her a gift.
I got her something that I know is gone,
a pair of gloves.
A pair of black stared gloves.
She got those on that day.
I feel that I could of saved her,
But I was too shy to ask her.
I feel that it's my fult,
I could of done something, anything.
I could of saved her and her father!
But I sit around thinking about what I could of done.
I can't do anything,
I Can't even talk about her without crying.
I feel that have let her down.
Sorry it's long. Tell me how she likes it when you can!
Nichole,
This is Becky, Christie's mama. Sweet heart, there was NOTHING you could have done. I am her Mama and I think everyday what could I have done to keep this from happening. Believe you me, this is NOT your fault.If you ever want to call her, if you want to call me. I would love to talk with you until she can again. If you like you could send her a card until you are able to visit her. If you want to see updated pictures, go to her web site.

Angie, May God be with you and your family. I know it will be a hard job but you can do it. Just keep your faith in God. I will be so happy when Beckey can have Christie home with her. No Mother should be where they can not be with her in a time like this.I would give anything to have my daughter back but that is selfish on my part.Only a Mother can understand the hurt. May God be with you all and you are in my prayers. God be with you.
Hi, just got the update on Richard. Wow he must really be doing great. I'm surprised he's progressed this far this fast. I know he will be glad to get home. Cindy and I keep ck on the blog as oft as we can.
What have they told you about Christine's projected time of release? We would like to come see them but since it's so far would like to be able to see both while there. We're in SC
Please tell Richard to give us a call as soon as he can and perhaps we can come visit them.
Thanks, James, Cindy and Chelsea
Angie, Please keep the blog so we can keep up with Richards progress. He will always be in our prayers. God Bless you and your husband for taking this task on but you can do it. Always remember with Gods Grace we can do anything.Good luck and God Bless
