Good Evening EV1!

Juliannas biopsy came back negative for cancer.... But there still not sure it isn't... They did one operation ... to remove the fingers from around her heart.... There also doing a 2nd operation to remove the rest of it from around her lungs etc... Its a "High Risk" surgery for such a young person...

Lizzy, her aunt, sister and neice are currently on there way to Riley Childrens Hospital in Indianapolis... They should arrive around 2 or 3 am...at the Hospital....
Julianna, is in the ICU in Critical condition as her blood pressure droped during the 2nd operation.... Pls say a few prayers for Julianna...
A she is very unstable and very close to passing.

Have a Great Night EV1!

I know personally this has been a very trying week for myself with dealing with absolutely everything. It just seems that everything I have touched and tried to do has blown up in my face, with the exception of the one meeting. I am trying to stay positive in regards to everything as I have always felt there is not point dwelling on the negative as it seems if and when you do, life tries to see just how much you can take before you get to the breaking point. I used to hear people bring up all those old sayings like "life only gives you what you can handle" and the old "if it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger" etc etc. But the reality it seems that I have found is this "life is a constant struggle, each and every day you are faced with a series of challenges and decisions. It is as if we are in a constant game of what's behind door number 3, and once we open the door it just seems to open another series of doors and we start all over again down the path. Are any of the doors better than the ones we didn't pick, well we never know as we didn't pick the door, and who's to say the door we picked was the worst of the options. We are continually faced with picking ourselves back up from the series of knock downs we are hit with, and in the end we can reflect upon everything we've done and all the decisions we make and hope that through all the trials and tribulations we end up with a wonderful family, great friends and some momento's of enjoyable times we were able to be lucky enough to pick up and keep along the way.

And that is about the end of my speech, wasn't meant to offend anyone, or inspire anyone, just a simple observation I have personally made about life (and he steps down of his podium )

Seriously though I do hope everyone has a great weekend and gets nothing but good news.
Thanks! I'm not going to give you any of those 'Sayings" I'll simply say, Not matter How many time you get hit, Keep your chin up. Although I don't know your Woas, I know what Hard knocks can do to your spirit. But your Spirit is Stronger than life's knocks. And I am sure that things will turn around for you! As I know things will turn around for me!!!!

I'll share some GOOD news....
I got my Monte back! I got my Monte back!!!

This other body shop I think was a winner. They basically had to re-do a lot of the work the first shop did (only things they did not touch was the paint work on the hood and fender).

For example:
- Re-checked the frame alignment and CORRECTED it (allegedly the first shop did that, but I found reason to support, they did not do as good a job as they should have).
- Replaced the front impact bar
- Replaced front bumper cover (genuine GM this time)
- Re-adjusted hood and fenders

Over all, far better job I think. Just looking at some of the items that were "small" issues to most people when I mentioned them, they appear gone. So far I see my Monte looking the way it should again. I hope to not find any more issues.
