Mystery Cat

Wow!! We love the new blog look. Thank You so much Susie.

Not a whole lot changed today in rounds. Ashley is still on oxygen and this is what is keeping them from moving into the Co-op. We are continuing to pray that she may be off oxygen and out of the room in time for Christmas. Please be with us in prayer as this truly is the desire of our hearts. Ashley seems to be slowly progressing and we pray that she will progress right out of the hospital soon.

Allie has a little daily calender featuring a picture of a cat for each day of the year. She has been pulling the cats off each day and taping them around her room. She wants a cat room. We had a cat named Oreo who died a while back and Allie would love another one. Well, in December she came across a page in the calender that told her she could submit a picture of her cat for next years calender. She has decided that she needs a cat for Christmas. Trish had told her that maybe for her birthday in February she could get a cat and Allie then explained that she needed one sooner because the deadline for the next calender was in February so she needs a cat for Christmas. We have been putting her off because we don't really think it will be a good idea to have a cat around when Ash first gets home. I think Allie has been praying really hard because a cute little cat has started showing up at our house each day. Allie has been feeding her and talking to her and has named her Mrs. Prissy. The cat has a flea collar on so we know she belongs to someone else and I tried to explain this to Allie. Well next thing I know Allie informs me that she has made a bed for the cat and now Mrs. Prissy is hanging around a lot more. I told Allie the bed would not work, this is not our cat. Well, last night when I got home from work Mrs. Prissy was asleep in the little bed on my front porch. I think God must have provided a cat for Allie to love. I hope there is not another little girl in our neighborhood praying for her cat to come home.

To my neighbors: If any of you are missing a cat please don't blame me. I am not trying to steal your cat.
