Hi everyone and thanks for your continuing support. It is great to have the girls at least close to home again. Bre is 60 miles away, so just an hours drive. The weather was so bad here I didn't see her yesterday, I'm hoping things calm down this afternoon.
She is getting a little better, but man this is slow. Her outcome is still anyone's call. Sometimes patients like her stall out at this stage, sometimes not. We keep hoping and praying for her recovery, and do the best we can do for her.

Jay, it's too bad that you are still under the control of the weather, to be able to see her.

I KNOW that it does feel good to have her and your wife closer to home and all. Maybe the weather WILL calm down so that you can get in there. I really feel like Bre's a fighter and won't settle for her present condition. I have been rallying for some more Prayer support for you all. Hang in there, Prayers are still. I sincerely wish I could take xome of you pain from you to give you some relief.

Take care, Bill

Sorry we didn't get to connect again in Chicago. Glad to hear that she's closer. Prayers still headed your way.

Regards,

John

What really gets me is that on the interweb, forums are generally unruly badlands ala Mad Max, where people yell at each other about nonsense, and you would think that it would be especially true on a motorcycle board with us all being bad-ass biker types

Despite that, it's actually pretty heartening to see 280 of these chuckleheads rally around members that some of them have never met, as they go through personal loss, unrelated to our common interest.
Maybe it's just because we're not all fourteen and arguing about video games or Emo music or whatever, but I'm hard pressed to think of a similar community online of this caliber.

I didn't mean to get all soft and mushy on you guys, I'm gonna go watch the Last of the Mohecans and clean my shop to get some of my testosterone back.

To Jay B: keep your head up, I'm not a religious man, but in church this xmas eve, I prayed that within ten years, you would watch your daughter tear past you on her SOHC, and emasculate you for the day.

Jheart, That is my DEEPEST desire. And she's just the kind of little gal that would do it too, we just started getting into street bikes before this. She's a pistol, loves 4-wheelers, snowmobiles and she's driven tractors bigger than a small house. Religious or not, thanks for the prayers. They all count.

Jay, we're all Praying (one way or another) that Bre gets back to her old self and you all can get back to "Your Life" as it should be.

Take care, Bill

Still lifting you all up, Jay. I hope the new year has some better surprises in store for you. How's that new bike? A little diversion might help...?

Aaron J Williams · « **Reply #286 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:23:36 PM »

Here's hoping she continues to progress now that she is closer to home. Prayers for you from the big woods.

bill440cars · « **Reply #287 on:** January 04, 2009, 08:28:50 PM »

As usual Jay, we're still pushing for good things for Bre, Kirstina & you. Just because certain days have passed, we don't give up easily. say WE, because I know that these folks (myself included) are pretty steadfast when they set their minds on something.

Hang in there You all, Bill

Jay B · « **Reply #288 on:** January 07, 2009, 04:18:01 PM »

A couple of new things guys. Bre started smiling once in a while a week or so ago. At first it took some tickling and stuff to get her to do it, but now she does it occasionally with no stimulation. She has had her hearing tested, and they think she may have lost some high pitch hearing, but nothing serious. She can hear down to a whisper. She is beginning to be able to move her arms a little on command. So overall, some really good things have been happening but it's still awfull slow. I'd just love it if she would have some big breakthrough, but it probably won't happen like that.

Bob Wessner · « **Reply #289 on:** January 07, 2009, 04:31:05 PM »

Glad to hear of the progress. Best to all of you.

bill440cars · « **Reply #290 on:** January 07, 2009, 06:49:02 PM »

Jay, like Bob said, it is good to hear about some progress. Of course, we ALL can get mighty inpatient, but it really IS good to know that she is still improving though. You all are STILL in our thoughts AND Prayers Jay.

Take care, Bill

wow, just finding this and you are in my thoughts and my prayers are with you for certain. whatever happened to cause all this? pardon if I jsut missed it in the thread somewhere. I am about to have my first child (any day and up to a few weeks now actually!) and things like this just feel different to me now. all the best for you and the family, keep strong and know that a lot of great people have you in their thoughts. think of how far you have come and how strong you all will be after this! Eric

I just found this thread. Jay, my thoughts and prayers are with you, Bre, and your family.

my78k · « **Reply #293 on:** January 08, 2009, 08:19:59 AM »

I know what you mean Eric. As a parent of two I can't even imagine how this must be for Jay. ANY parent would gladly change places with their kid in this type of situation but instead all we can do is be there for them and be strong for them.

Jay, I hope this doesn't come out wrong but she is having those big break throughs but you are too close to see it. It's kind of like watching your crops grow. With you as the farmer you are there everyday and you don't see it but you have a family member come by who hasn't been there in several weeks and they say wow...look at how tall the corn has gotten! Her brain is having to learn things it took her entire life to master once already. As long as she is showing these signs of improvement it shows that new pathways are being formed in her brain on a daily basis. Once these pathways are there she will have greater and greater control. Take a minute and re-read through this post. Remeber at one point she couldn't breathe on her own...now look at where she is at!! She is a tough girl and fighting her arse off....and you are tough too!

Hang in there....I know it is slow going. When my mom had her head injury (fractured skull and 3 weeks in a coma back in '88) we thought she would never be the same. To be honest she isn't really. You wouldn't notice it if you didn't know her before but physically she is near 100% but her personallity changed. She looks at things very differently now then she did pre-injury. Much more laid back actually...

Great to hear of the progress Bre is making Jay. must be nice to see her smile once in a while now eh?

bikerdave47 · « **Reply #295 on:** January 09, 2009, 06:42:58 PM »

THE LORD IS MY SHEPARD.... I will pray for your Daughter as well.

Ecosse · « **Reply #296 on:** January 10, 2009, 09:27:43 AM »

Jay, I can only imagine how much that smile must mean to you; just reading it brings a lump in my throat. Please include me in the long line of people who continue to have Bre and the family in their thoughts and prayers.

bill440cars · « **Reply #297 on:** January 10, 2009, 12:29:35 PM »

AMEN!

bill440cars · « **Reply #298 on:** January 13, 2009, 08:09:24 PM »

Man, I've been so involved with the deal with my Dad and that 250 Jawa engine (which ALSO related back to my Dad) that I slacked up on keeping Bre (and family) up front and on our minds. Jay, I hope and Pray that things will keep improving for Bre and you all be able to get on with your lives, as you should be able to do now. A young person should have so much to look forward to and all. And I'm just praying that Bre will get that chance.

Hang in there, Prayers still coming,

Bill

You are a credit to decency Billy, all Jays family are in my thoughts and prayers.
