I am proud to announce....Paula has been having a wonderful day. Miraculously she was sitting up talking and even eager to eat today as I visited her. She even got out of the bed and walked a few steps. She is very happy that she feels so well today. They are not doing dialysis on her today, but are possibly going to drain some more fluid from her belly. We have been advised from the doctors that every day is a new day and so her condition will fluctuate. We only hope for the best days everyday! We are far from being out of the woods, just seeing a hint of sunlight amongst the heavily wooded trees. So keep the prayers coming and also the cards. It is the small things in life she is excited about. At lunch she had the smallest "glass" of tea a person could imagine. It was a real crack-up. If you see her you should ask her about it I am sure you will laugh as well.

I am also wanting to let everyone know we have a car wash scheduled for Saturday, August 22, 2009 @ Norman High School on Main St. It is from 10a-3p. We will have refreshments for sale as well. So come out and let us wash your car and as Paula said, "Help Wash Away Liver Disease!" Also Chili's is sponsoring 3 "give-back" nights in honor of Paula on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, August 24, 25, 26 from 5p-10:30p in Norman. You must have a flyer in order for us to receive the 10%, so make sure if you need one to contact us (or come to the car wash) and we will be happy to make sure you have one prior to going out to eat!!! We hope Paula is able to go and eat along side us!!!! Let Chili's do the cooking and support Paula at the same time!!!

**By the way, I have set up an account with Oklahoma Blood Institute (OBI) in Paula's honor. If any of you are blood donors all you have to do is let them know prior to donating that you are donating for credit on Paula Crawford's behalf. This will give her credit on all of the blood products she has used or will use!!! If you have any questions, please let me know.

As always, any questions, please let me know.

Thanks.

Rachele.
