Our Princess Amanda

On 10/21/05; our princess fell and struck her head. She was rushed to a local hospital and it was discovered that her skull was fractured. She was immediately transferred to ICU and has been under round the clock care ever since. Family and friends are with her constantly. We are doing are best to return phone calls and keep everyone informed of her progress, however, it can be a challenge. Please feel free to check back often and leave comments.

November 11, 2005 - Mid-Morning


Not much to report this morning. The princess was having her bedding changed this morning so we didn't get to spend too much time with her. She gave us a nice yawn during the visit though and it was nice to see her looking peaceful and asleep. They're beginning to lie her back in a more prone position (she's been in a sort of half-sit to assist her in keeping the ICP's low) and rolling her from side to side and she seems to be enjoying the change(s) in position. Her most active periods seem to be in the 4-6 time slot, so we look forward to seeing if she has any new surprises for us tonight.

    Typical day at the office. You just get all the rest you need. Jessica is handling all of Denny's sensitivities for you. I can't wait to hear what you take from the nurses this afternoon.
    Love you,

    Come on Mandy! You are doing GREAT. I was talking about how good GOD is and how he has blessed you to come this far. He is so wonderful to listen to all the people who love and care for you. Keep up the good work.

    Amanda ~ Kurt ~ What an adorable picture of love. Thanks so much for sharing these with us.

    Little Amanda ~ we are still doing what we have been doing. My only day off each week is Friday and I'm doing these mundane chores... house work things. But you are still on my mind like everyone else says just every other moment.

    Found a little cat cartoon that I'll add to you box of things to give you when you get home. Hugs to you and Kurt ~ Love, TAnn

    Somebody who knows you Amanda put this on your blog early on.

    Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves have received from God.
    --2 Corinthians 1:3,4

    Amen

    Princess Amanda,

    Amanda, in this picture I think you are saying "Really" as if someone just told you something very interesting & you are taking it all in. You have always been such a good listener. I love your admirer looking on:) Such a perfect picture!

    I'm sure you are tired...rest up & give us some excitement later:)

    Looking forward to sending you a note without having to type in all these crooked letters! What is it a drunk test?

    I love you little one!

    Dear Amanda,

    More and more good news. I'm beyond happy to hear each report of you getting better.

    My friend from DC came to Dallas last night and we went to our friend's comedy club. Very interesting crowd last night - cowboys, bachelorette party and friends of the comics. I had a great time hanging out with everyone - although I got a bit too much attention from an older guy, with b.o. and no teeth, who just wanted to be wherever I was. (I'm not bragging - I'm just telling you.)

    Work has been fun - I'm on my second decade - can you believe it? Everyone is still being very nice to me.

    Hope that there are more and more good things to report today. Keep it up!

    Love,
    Kelly B.

    Good afternoon, Amanda. I am happy to hear you are resting comfortably today, yawning and able to be in new positions. :) I am going camping this weekend, leaving tonight, with about 18 other happy campers. I'm excited about a fun weekend, but sad that I'll miss all the new posts on here about the great tricks your doing for everyone. I will be anxious to get back Sunday night and read all about them. ;) Please have a restful yet "active" weekend filled with positive progress.
    And, I have to agree on the picture posted... black and white except for the pretty flower in your hair, and Kurt looking at you "adoringly"... ;) BEAUTIFUL!!

    love and continued prayers,
    amy p

    Hi Amanda,
    Deana and I had a looong commute today - we were in the car for about an hour and a half - 635 was backed up all the way to the high 5 from Webb Chapel...a long, long way, so we had to find alternate routes today. We were wishing you were with us in the car chit-chatting!! We even took Garden Ridge and drove by to see Baby Coco!

    I'm looking forward to reading about more marvelous Mandy stuff this weekend. Stay strong little one and fight with all you got to come back to us - OK?

    Kurt, we've got you in our prayers - you stay strong too and please let us know if there is anything we can do to help from here.

    Take care,
    Love Lj

    Hey Mandy,

    A little message just for you from Daniel and Jay -

    We still talk about our fantastic visit with you and the kitties in your house.

    We think that you and Kurt should visit us in London, so you and Daniel can see all the sites and Kurt and I can sit in the pub and drink beer all day. :)

    Sweet pea, please keep getting better and better so we can see you soon. We think about you every day.

    Much love from London -

    Jay and Daniel
