One of the nicest things about doing and reading this blog is that I've heard from so many of our friends all over the place. Google analytics lets me know which states have people checking the blog daily - so I can see everyone from my lobster lovin' cousin in New Hampshire to my wonderful sister in Arcata (Northern Cal) who are checking. For those of you who haven't been in touch with us personally, my sister Otamay is the one who kept the dogs, cats, chickens and US alive those first two weeks in ICU. She dropped her whole life and came down here with her two doggies to be by my side when I needed her. She and my dear friend Carolyn coordinated the meals that made it possible for Bob and I to spend all our time with our girl. Tam came and sat with Dorothy one afternoon so I could take care of some business, as did Carolyn. Tam even made sure we had clean clothes. I have been so blessed by seeing that people from so many states are still praying, still reading the blog to check on D's progress. I do have one question, though. We have a faithful blog-checker in Pennsylvania. Who are you? My curiosity has been so piqued, and I just can't figure out who we know in Pennsylvania. Please let me know who you are so I can thank you! Actually, we'd love to hear from all our friends... "hushingkline at charter dot net" Love to all,

Well, I'm not the person from PA, but I am a stranger who has been following Dorothy's progress since a few days after the accident. However, at this point, I don't feel like a stranger as I've been praying for Dorothy and reading this blog pretty much daily since the accident!
It all started out of curiosity when I checked the paper the next morning after my 14 year old daughter and I happened to drive past the accident scene after leaving a family birthday party that night.
When I read that a 16 year old Atascadero high school girl was seriously injured, I became interested in her condition. Then a few days later I found this blog while reading an article about the accident and have been fascinated with Dorothy's recovery ever since.
I have a good amount of neurology training, as I received some of my nursing education many years ago at Rancho Los Amigos Rehab Hospital and also spent several years working on a neurology unit in an acute care hospital in the Los Angeles area prior to moving to Paso Robles. I presently work in north county as a home health nurse and visit 5-6 patients per day.
So, I guess that explains my curiosity and interest in Dorothy and her family. I am so happy to read about all her progress and will continue to monitor this blog while it is up.
God bless you Dorothy! Keep up the good work. Congrats on getting your wires off!

It may have been Steven during his many work visits to PA... I always check it from Alexandria, VA though.
