All of your prayers and ours have been answered. I am happy to report that my dad is now back home and doing much better. He has an uphill road to recovery ahead of him due to his age and the fact that he has lost an incredible amount of weight and is now extremely frail. We are taking it one day at a time and are praying that upon the removal of the Halo Brace his neck will remain adjusted and not shift back into the previous injured state. As we have been told this is a possibility which will ultimately result in permanent paralyses. Please continue to pray for him as he needs it now more than ever.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your encouraging words and prayers expressed through your comments and for the vast amount of emails I have received from those of you who have gone or are going through similar ordeal with a loved one. I thank you all for sharing your experiences and for your heartfelt advices.

I thank those of you who have honoured me with an award. I promise to proudly post each one in the coming week. I am anxiously looking forward to my return to blogging and to visiting you in a few days. This sounds cliché but please believe me that I truly was not prepared for the effect blogging would have on my life. I immensely enjoy blogging and cherish each and every one of you.

You are the jewels in my teacup!!
