Comments on: Stephanie update http://www.knockknocktx.com/stephanie-update/ ... a promise to live, laugh and love each and every day Thu, 21 Aug 2008 18:53:43 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.2.1 By: connie & jim penny et al http://www.knockknocktx.com/stephanie-update/#comment-256 connie & jim penny et al Fri, 04 Apr 2008 16:29:26 +0000 http://www.knockknocktx.com/stephanie-update/#comment-256 I spoke with your mom today, Stephanie. It seems the past two weeks of 'energizer bunny' antics have slowed considerably. Last week John could still marvel and chuckle about your little 'funnies'....You saying 'stupid brain' when a word would not come, wandering around inside the house, eating a bit, communicating at various levels, trying and being able to stay awake for long periods. Now you are sleeping more, becoming exhaustd with minimal exertion, eating EVEN less. John says your most talkative period seems to be in the wee hours. I read the lovely blog your dad left for you, and so many other outpourings of love and respect and well-wishes for peace and comfort. You have touched so many hearts and are so loved by so many....know that you are in our hearts forever and ever. Love, Jim, Connie, & Erin I spoke with your mom today, Stephanie.

My overwhelming feelings that this strong, faithful & beautiful woman is out of options is beyond belief. I will continue to pray that all will be in God's mercy. Stephanie, as you all know, is such a remarkable human being. I feel certain God will hold her in his hands & take her to her rightful place. Love & prayers for all her family & friends. We are going to need His grace to get through this. Dear Stephanie, Family & Friends,

The doctor released you only because he said you would do fine because you were a “fighter”. How right he was. Following his instructions, we fed you every two hours. At six weeks, even the doctor was amazed but correct in his assessment that you were a fighter. You were back on the charts. I taught you to fish and hunt at an early age. You showed a love for the outdoors and were an eager student. I many times said you were like the son I never had. You have taught me many things as well including your special view of nature and your love of art and desire to help others. You have taught me far more than I have taught you. Your devotion to God and your steadfast love for your family is an incredible example of the person you have become. I love you so very much, Dad Stephanie,
