9:00 P.M. Well it has been a long and interesting week with Stacey, she has been going threw alot of mood swings from hitting and trying to bite to being her self at times, not sure if this is due to meds she is still on or just the change of being back home. But all and all we are dealing with it all, we knew that there would be things we would have to work on when she came home, but we have more Doctors to see another Nero for the full body tremors that she is having when she was released from Rusk and a Endocrine Doctor (which is for hormones and blood issues) and looks like we may need to make another appointment with the dentist she has one filling loose and her wisdom teeth are coming threw, I am not sure if we will have to put her out again like last time but we will see, and last but not least get her eyes checked it seems like her vision in her right eye is getting worse and may be playing a big role in her headaches, but all and all I am glad she is home and she is back in school and everything seems to be going back to it's normal lifestyle here at home some things we will need to push harder on than others but we are doing them. Thanks to everyone for there continuous prayers and to others that are there for me and Stacey to keep pushing us on with there thoughts and prayers and just being there. Again I pray that the Lord helps and guides all of you as you and him have guided us! No pictures this week maybe next week!

Well we are home including Stacey we got home yesterday, and boy is everyone happy she is home especially Stacey!!!! Well we had our meetings and more and all and all we came out fine and was released, alot to say but I will leave well enough alone, I am just grateful that she is home and all that they expected to be wrong was not wrong lets just leave it like that for now. Stacey has to have more test done but it will be done by St Johns. Stacey is pretty well back to her old self except for being a little bit on the tired side but I think that is from some of the meds which she should not be on for to much longer and she has all thumbs up for going back to school tomorrow and she is excited, we will need to do some work with her again but it won't take long and we will be there! A VERY BIG THANK YOU to all who supported me and took the time to talk with me while I went threw this and to everyone who gave us the extra prays because they came threw again. Thank You ALL God Bless! Tonight Picture is from Tuesday when I had to go up and have a meeting with them and make sure she was going to be released.

10:30 P.M. Well another week gone, I was not able to bring Stacey home today, alot going on with this Rehab. really not sure why they are doing what they are doing to me and her, but I think it is to cover there own asses. I'm sorry it's a very long story and I really don't want to get into it right now, it just upsets me very much . Went to Doctors last Wednesday to get a check up and go over everything that was going on with Stacey and walked out with High-Blood pressure med. and told to start relaxing or he was going to but me in the hospital next, he said he would look into it further for me, in the mean time to relax because that what I was suppose to be doing. Which myself it is really hard to do when I send her up there for walking therapy and they do anything and everything else! Sorry I am getting off the subject we go down Wednesday the 20 th for full conference with Rusk and then we go see the Nero Surgeon and then we take her back to Rusk and then they will let us know if they will release her, alot going on right now and really can't say much until we have conference, because I am not really sure they know what there talking about, but for now we are going to do everything in our power to bring her home and soon, I will try and update Wednesday night or Friday it all depends on when we get all the answers. Today is our 2 year anniversary I really wish she was here, instead of up there, she deserves better! But to continue Thanks again for every one's help and there continuous support Lord only knows how much I need him and all of you and your prayers now, please continue to say extra prayers for us, this next week we all will need them, God Bless.

10:30 P.M. Well not to much to say this week still have not been able to talk more to the Doctors. Stacey comes home Friday the 15 th at least that is what I was told last week, unless something else comes up, that is our arrival date, we then have to go back down on the 20 th to talk with the Nero Surgeon about what they have found. I have been calling every other night but have not been getting her to talk to me much, I guess I don't blame her much. I can't wait until Friday, I miss her so much it has been so quite around here (I never thought I would hear myself complain about that) it's been hard to try and just sit back and relax, but now that she is coming home I think I am alittle more settled with myself, at least until we find out more about everything that is going on with her, I think I am a little scared, I know I wanted answers but I don't think that there the ones I'm going to want to here! But like a special person reminded me that Stacey is Stubborn and Hard Headed and she has got this far because of it, so we will deal with what ever they hand us, and try to balance it with everything else, because her mother is exactly like her as far as being Stubborn and Hard Headed, so we will do what ever it takes to get threw this! For this week that is all, no pictures this week. Thanks to everyone in there continuous thoughts and prayers, and support. You all will never know how much it means to have support like all of yours, I just hope and prey every night that the Good Lord continues to bless all of you as you have us!

4:30 P.M.
Well I went down last weekend and I am glad I did, it was a very long and disappointing weekend in so many words. I failed again to get her into the right place. Stacey was very sore form not being cleaned correctly and currently has sores but they have been able to locate a bathtub to were they can get her to soak to help clear them up! But again it is hard to work with Stacey when it comes time to clean her especially with the diarrhea that she has been having. And I was disappointed because they did not follow my directions in not letting her sit her in the wheelchair so she has not been very helpful when it comes to walking in fact she refuses, they have rules I know, but I guess I should have checked better, well I did but the Doctor said she was mislead because what she was doing during the office visit and what she is not doing now, and she was very violent and combative, but I said I would be to if my bottom was sore and them trying to clean with the sores and all. But all and all I guess I will take the shoot for this one, I should have asked more questions and made sure everyone understood exactly what I wanted so this time it is my fault. But if nothing else they are doing all the test that I asked for and they are finding alot out some I don't really think I was ready for there answers to my questions and I will have to be making some difficult decisions but until I let everyone know I will need to talk more with the Nero Surgeon before I say more so I can get my facts straight, and to the other Doctors about everything else. In the mean time I ask again for extra prayers for me to have the strength to make all the decisions I need and to be strong when I bring her home because it is going to be a struggle with her to get her back to where she needs to be or were she was for a little while. So please again say some extra prayers for me that I can continue to keep the pace up with her and myself, because this was our last Rehab. there will be no others after this one.I will try and get back on to update next week that is if I know more. So thank you to all who continue to check in on me and for the continuous prayers they are much needed, may God Bless all of you as you have us. Pictures are from the week before she went into Rehab.
