Subject: update on baby Madylan and other news from Elizabeth/Grace, she sent this e-mail to be posted here.

Dear Nightowl,
At long last I have my computer online again. My laptop was on the fritz and likewise my old ibm desktop was unusable as I had deleted many things, programs so I can donate it to my church so I could not reach you and the gang to tell you the outcome on the baby, so please understand I could not reach you. Also, I had met my future husband online in Oct from my church website and ended up on cell phones
developing a relationship which has culminated in engagement and that has been a bright light through the storms of life this fall. I also have been sorting all my life's belongings and throwing much out as to have a new start in life and I'm very tired and am just now getting my laptop working again. I can't stand the compaq presario laptop with Windows ME. I needed more memory as it turns out.

Baby Madylan Piper Allis was at long last released from the icu unit of the hospital on Thanksgiving Day and is currently on methodone to help her ease off of the nasty narcotics that the hospital insisted she be on so that the tubes and i.v.s would not come out of her little body.
Her parents believe that all that happened was appropriate and would not even consider suing the hospital for malpractice. It is not my call, I am only the Grandmother but the kids have been left to believe that the hospital did everything appropriately. They have been thoroughly "soft-soaped" as I see it. To not have problems with my daughter and son-in-law, I can say no more to them on the matter.

They are just so grateful to have the baby at home. The nurse was supposed to come in daily (twice) for six weeks to administer the methadone but somehow the kids have been convinced and likely had to sign papers to be responsible for doing it themselves and taking any risks upon themselves. I know that the methodone if not administered properly can cause death. The baby is so lethargic and barely crys or moves and looks totally spaced out all the time. She was here for the first time (I got to hold her!!) this past friday and sat. and I made a turkey dinner and even had a tree and a little village set up for Christmas amongst all the boxes packed preparatory for moving after I'm married which will be soon (this Friday!). What's the rush? We live the law of chastity and are middle-aged and want to:) He is a wonderful man and I feel we were led miraculously to one another (everyone says we look alike and as though we were meant to be together). Our church leaders who often frown on sudden marriages are all in agreement that this will be a good marriage for so many reasons and feel the spirit witnessing to them as do we (Gary and I) that this is the right relationship and that we will be good for each other and that my son Michael and my other two children (luke and tammy) and his four grown children will benefit also (they love me so that makes it easy)..also one daughter says I look just like his first wife, their mother, but that did not interest Gary or deter him thankfully as he did not know what i looked like when he proposed to me over the phone. It was not until we met that we realized that each other looked just as we would have wanted ...!! What a blessing! We fell in love with each other for who and what we were and for our standards and our mutual love for the gospel and our devotion to our religion which is the same. So, we are equally yoked and that makes all the difference, n'est pas??

Well, gang, Merry Christmas to you all and Blessings to every one who prayed this little baby girl through to healing and release from her prison like experience in baby icu. May other babies not have to go through what this little one did but how can that be prevented, I know not.

I am so busy trying to raise my soon to be 15 yr. old home-schooled learning disabled son and starting a new marriage, I cannot forsee the time or energy to start a personal vandetta for other babies as I lack the support of my daughter who I feel is totally brainwashed, bless her heart, she couldn't stand to believe otherwise at this point, she's been through the mill.

Forgive me for the long letter and the long wait...life has been very fast paced and very very busy as you can see these last several weeks.
I am not ungrateful for your prayers....I know you are all out there and to me you are like EArth's Angels...God Bless you every one!!!
and I know He will and is doing so...You are all in my prayers...I can never thank you enough. May the spirit of Christmas abide with you as it obviously has before Christmas even began ...throughout the coming weeks and months and years...may you always have such charity to all mankind as you have shown to our family this fall. I love you all and am proud to be associated with you my dearest web friends...many of whom I may never even know but surely we'll meet one day where tears and hugs will flow and I will know you well as I hear it said unto you,
"Well done, my good and faithful servants, well done." What greater blessing and joy can you have than this, my dear friends...All for now,
Your sister on planet earth and in life, Elizabeth/Grace
