Hey so before everyone starts freaking out! i decided to change the website, to caring-bridge. From family friends and others, I have heard that this site is easier to navigate through, PLUS...i can add pictures. You can hopefully be able to click on the link or just simply copy and paste the URL address.

http://www.caringbridge.org/visit/getbettertara

If you are not able to get on to this site, please do let me know if I can help you! Thank you again for all your thoughts and prayers! This community is why I love to call Eastern Oregon HOME!

    The blog is a GREAT idea! Thanks for keeping us updated. I'm praying in Madras...as are some of my facebook friends when I posted Tara's need for prayer.

    May the Christ of Christmas be ever so present in your lives, and His healing touch be evident in Tara's quick recovery!

    Manny and Laurie, I came across this news by accident thru a facebook friends page.. I havent seen you for years but when I read of this, I had to connect with you and send love and prayers. My daughter Carina ( now 26) had the same thing happen at age 3..developed stevens- johnson syndrome after being given an antibiotic .... my heart goes out to you and your family... Im too far away to help, but know that I will be praying for you all..... Julie Judson.

    We were shocked and saddened to hear of Tara's ordeal! Life as we know it can change in an instant..... After spending many weeks in hospital and rehab with Tristan after his accident, we know what a toll it takes. Please know that we are praying for Tara's speedy recovery and for strength and endurance for you all. Sounds like you'll have a long road ahead of you, so please know that ANY time there is something we can help you with in any way, don't hesitate to call. I don't want to call right now since you're probably being inundated with calls and things seem to be under control for the time being. But when you get home I'd be happy to bring dinner over and help you with anything you are in need of. Please know that our thoughts and prayers are with your family. Think positive, keep your heads up and you'll all get through this ordeal together. But don't be afraid to ask for help, when needed, because you have a HUGE "community family" and we're all wanting to do something to help you. Love to you all!! from The White House ---Gail, Richard, Tristan & Hayley
