MARIA AUSTIN'S HEALTH UPDATE 3-14-08

Dear Friends and Fam-Lee

Round 7 is going to be a good round for Maria. Like I said before, I hate to get too excited about good days, because of the let downs (sometimes) to follow. Maria was able with some help from myself and the PT to sit on the side of the bed yesterday, Hurray! She was wobbly as a person would be after 8 1/2 weeks on her back. I pray it's going to be all good from here on out, but I know we will have some minor setbacks along the way. She seems, so far to except the trech, I do believe it will speed her recovery. I pray she will be able to eat and speak soon and they can remove it. Her blood pressure and breathing have improved, and her lungs are getting better. Praise God for everyday we have her with us. Thank all of you again, for your Phone Calls, Cards, Prayers and Good Wishes, they mean a lot to me and my Fam-Lee. Please don't stop Praying.

Love You All

Mike Austin and Fam-Lee

Keep Cooking that Great Chili.. I will be back out there soon on the Chili Trail. I sure do miss the competition and friends. ( maybe a Shoot and Holler here and there).

Oh Yeah, don't forget California State May 3rd 2008.

I also want to thank all the Cooks that cooked at Bill and Karen Ray's house Saturday. They donated all the Chili that was cooked to the Hospital crew that are working with Maria. I did tell the nurses, that they will only get the Chili when Maria gets out the right way. Also thanks for all the Big Hugs! I needed them.

Love You All

Calgary chili cookoffs

Hi everyone
Randy and I are contemplating moving the two regional chili cookoffs to the Memorial Day weekend in May and are trying to get a sense of how many cooks might be interested in making the journey to Calgary.
We are working on our sponsors for prize money but doing this basically three months earlier than planned will bring its own set of problems. It is also our daughter Lauren's graduation weekend.
I had a fall in November and am currently having to use a walker/can/electric scooter to get around. I see a sports medicine doctor next week to try and start to figure our why my right leg is not working properly.
.
So...if you think that Calgary could possibly be in your travel plans could you please let us know ASAP. Thanks
Joy and Randy Bilozir
