Here is the latest news on little Allie Rose. Allie is 4 years old and still in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP). In January Allie became very sick and her illness was a puzzle to medical people. She slipped into a coma and was in that state for about 6 weeks. In a stunning example of the power of prayers, Allie woke and was able to appropriately smile. She is expected to be in CHOP for at least another several months. At this point Allie is out of ICU and breathing on her own but still having important difficulties. During...

I just got an update from my daughter in law about Allie. Here is what I heard. Allie has progressed to the point that she has been moved off of ICU and to a floor where she will be receiving various therapies. Her major long-term problems are her being “slow” and always in need of care and giving her back her ability to speak clearly. During intubation Allie bit off a piece of her tongue and at this point there has been only so much that could be done to fix it. The major short-term problems are getting her strength...

As I mentioned earlier, in the initial report of Allie's condition the stress and shock caused me to miss a typo on our little angel's name. The family calls her Ali-Rose but I will avoid confusion by keeping the earlier spelling - apparently God is not confused. This is what I just got from Allie's mom sent to those that have helped the family thus far. Dalainna (mom's name) posted a new update to Help us support Ali Rose From the bottoms of our hearts we want to thank everyone for their generosity, thoughts & prayers ❤️‍ our baby is...

I just got an update from my daughter in law about Allie. Here is what I heard. Allie smiled today! That can be a very significant development!!! This all started with the Flu which attacked Allie's heart which reduced the flow of oxygen to her brain which has caused some level of damage. Doctors were able to remove her breathing tube, so Allie is breathing on her own. She is still on dialysis and unfortunately not very responsive. The prognosis for her recovery seems to be better with Allie's appropriate smile. Maybe our prayers can bring Allie to full health....

Please continue to pray for Allie I just got an update from my daughter in law about Allie. Here is what I heard. This all started with the Flu which attacked Allie's heart which reduced the flow of oxygen to her brain which has caused some level of damage. Doctors were able to remove her breathing tube, so Allie is breathing on her own. During the intubation process Allie bit off part of her tongue so she had surgery to repair the damage. She is still on dialysis and unfortunately not very responsive. The prognosis for her recovery to full...

I just got an update from my daughter in law about Allie. Here is what I heard. This all started with the Flu which attacked Allie's heart which reduced the flow of oxygen to her brain which has caused some level of damage. Allie is on intubation and doctors will remove it today or tomorrow in hopes that she will be able to breath on her own. She is also on dialysis. Allie is 4 years old and in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. She is being feed intravenously. Right now the best scenario has Allie in CHOP for another two...

Some would call this story a coincidence and shrug it off. I think it is a sign to those of us who are praying for Allie. My niece who is in a hospital 85 miles from Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) where little Allie is still fighting for her life, could not sleep last night and was happy to have the overnight charge nurse on her floor to talk to. They realized after a while that they both believe in the power of prayer. The nurse then told my niece that she was praying for her little cousin who was...

As I have reported, 4 year old Allie, a member of my extended family was in ICU in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) being treated for a serious infection of unknown origin. Because of the great care and attention Allie is getting, she has rallied and is now on a path to recovery and return to her mom and dad. Because of some of the extreme effects of her illness, Allie has been left with some brain damage. The extent of the damage is undetermined at this point but it is nonetheless, real and something that must be worked on....

Here's the original story January 5th. My daughter in law has asked for prayers for her cousin's 4 year old little girl. Allie is her name. Allie recently showed symptoms of maybe a flu or a virus but now that has turned to septic. It pains me so to even write about Allie because she is now on life support in Children's Hospital of Philadelphia CHOP. Please prayer with our family and friends for Jesus to save this little angel. NOW FIVE DAYS later: ALLIE is off life support and her heart seems to have sustained little damage!! She is...

RUSH: We got a new kitten. We waited an appropriate amount of time. We went out and got a new kitten, a new Abyssinian, a tawny. And this little cat -- I'm going to have to send some pictures up to Koko over the weekend. This little cat -- Punkin was an adult cat as a kitten. It was the most amazing thing. This little kitten is a kid.

Public Opinion: Most global surveys on image spotlight negative views of the U.S. But a new poll of U.S. perceptions of Britain shows a plunge. Since it's the U.K.'s turn under this microscope, we'll venture some reasons.First, it's no pleasure to see U.S. perceptions fall so precipitously for our oldest and closest ally — the one with whom we went through two World Wars and the Cold War, and in each simultaneously elected great leaders who rose to the occasion. But from a BBC World Service poll of 1,000 Americans, it's clear U.S. views of Britain have fallen sharply. The...

Latest News AUG 29, 2003<Begin Rant> We are not alone, after all. As of this week, there were 136,000 U.S. troops and 22,000 troops from 28 countries in Iraq.  That's right.  Twenty-eight.  Not two. Not three.  Not ten.  Dutch and Italian forces are currently assisting at Tallil - where Chromey is stationed - and are taking on more responsibilities.  Why then the talk of needing an Official UN Permission Slip? If I understand the so-called predicament correctly, the US is seeking a UN mandate in order to say it's 'OK' for everyone to actually be there in an attempt...
