Welcome to my blog!

Hey everyone! I have recently set-up this blog so I am able to keep those whom I care about the most updated on my status during my entire process of getting my brain tumor removed. Either myself or my parents will update this blog as frequently as we can to keep everyone informed on how I am doing before, during, and after surgery. I am hoping this will be a helpful tool for everyone and I invite you to comment on my posts and give me some words of encouragement or just say hello. I really appreciate all of the support I have received so far and I'm looking forward to having you all along for the journey. Thanks for following and I'll update as soon as possible!

Love you all,
Ali

  4. Dear Ali

    Prayers are very powerful. You have so many people keeping you and your family in their daily prayers. Jill and Mike have raised very strong and courageous young ladies, who can see the light through the tunnel. As I continue to keep you in my thoughts, may God's blessing's light your way.

  5. Hey you guys! I'm so glad you're keeping everyone updated. Thanks for including us.
    Theodor Geisel said it best. "I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and that enables you to laugh at life's realities."
    All will be well...
    Thinking of you,

  9. Fellow Team Ocho Fit member,

    I would be lying if I said we all didn't miss you already :) I need your motivation to get my butt in gear! Your hubby and I are pretty excited to come see you when you get to go home as well. Maybe we will bring contruction equipment if he gets a job and can afford it haha. We're all thinking of you!
