November 13, 2005 - Mid-Morning
Our girl was pretty tuckered out this morning after having her fingers and toes repainted yesterday. She attempted to open her eyes for Brenda before she left (by squeezing her eyes shut even more). She did manage to get one eye open a little bit before she promptly fell back into a deeper sleep. We were excited to see her also make 2 moves that were classic Mandy: she sucked in her lips and pressed her lips together (like she does when she is refreshing her lipstick) and rubbed her thumb and middle finger together in the repetitive way she does when she's thinking about something. She is still sleeping very deeply and her "swimming near the surface" times are short but sweet. Her numbers remain stable and her rash is gradually decreasing (looks like the change in meds is helping). Here's to another week of continued improvement!

Good morning Mandy. I'm so proud of you & all this activity. I'm sure it's exhausting!
I'm off to do my coupon shopping. This should take the rest of the day! You are missing out on some great deals! When you get home, you can shop at the free store that we call my pantry:)
I love you so much & truly miss you. You are always in my thoughts...So many times I think "I'll call Mandy to get her opinion" or email. Man this is hard. Okay, enough being selfish. Take as much time as you need to heal properly. I don't want you to rush perfection!
We still have "Breakfast at Tiffany's" so I guess Netflix is getting their money worth out of us this month since I've had it for 4 weeks! I know we were going to watch it together so I may just send it back & re-order when that can happen.
I love you. Sweet dreams.

Hey Mandy
Dacia and I stopped by and visited your kitties last night. We got a pizza a Nicks, and spent a few hours there so your babies could get some nice 'people time.' Maurice took quite a liking to Dacia, and lounged beside her for a good while. The other three rotated past us throughout the night, getting some good petting and entertaining us with thier antics. They are doing well, but I'm sure can't wait until your return.

Hey there, my friend! Glad you're still doing well, and coming along with those improvements we've been asking for. Know that you're still in my prayers morning, noon, and night - nothing will be right until you're back with us. I love you and send hugs and hope your afternoon is a good one.
Hugs to you, too, Kurt!

Amanda, way to go...gettin' manicures and pedicures without even having to ask! You truly are the Princess! :o) I'm missing our Survivor talk on Friday's...last week's Survivor was the best ever and everybody I know that watches it Tivo'd it so I couldn't trash talk it with anybody! Well, you take all the time you need to get better, we don't mean to rush you, but we do all miss you so we're anxious for you to get back to your fun little self!
I hope you do something great today and make Kurt smile and make the nurses proud! It sounds like you're getting fabulous care and I'm very thankful to all those surrounding you.
Take care,
Love Lj

Glad to hear you are getting your nails done. I'm sure your cuticles are looking good too. Now's the time to break that nasty habit you have of picking at them all the time. You will be PERFECT when you get home. Heck... who am I kidding? You were PERFECT when you left! I miss you and can't wait for your return!

Hey Mandy,
You're such a diva. Nails polished just like the diva princess that you are. I'm taking Adrienne and a friend to Disney World this week. We'll do our best to get Cinderella's tiara for you.

Hi Mandy. Shopping just wasn't the same without you today:( Plus the store was out of so many things that I was hoping to get free! I'm going back after work tomorrow to a different locaton since they extended the coupon extravaganza this time! Remember Tony? The super nice checker that let us get away with everything? He's still there & helped me today. I even used some expired coupons...in your honor:)
I REALLY miss you lots.
I saw Mom & Toppy today to invite them to Thanksgiving at our house. They have plans already to go to Allen's, but they plan to stop over. We have another "mystery antique" that I got from my Granddad's estate sale. Maybe they will know what it is! We still never figured out that thing that was your dad's!
I have some HUGE gossip that I can't wait to tell you! Too much to tell here.
Well, I'm turning in early tonight for a change. Good night! Sleep tight! Don't let the bed bugs bite!
Christine & Pooh in my lap:)

I wanted to call you on the way to work to let you know that KVIL is playing Christmas music. Yes, it's already started! Knew you'd be happy, so I had to share.
Love you, have a good day!

Hi Mandy,
Good day to you, This is Paul Rex
Yer Cous from New Mex. Signing in.
Well that cartoon finding Nemo comes to mind, where the one forgetful fish sings "Just keep swiming swiming swiming,just keep swiming!" Swim back to us kiddo, Just keep swiming back to us.
We love you and are proud of you fighting so hard to heal and come back to us. Thanks!

Hi Mandy!
You are doing great - keep up the good work! I bet your fingers and toes look great!
As Chris told you yesterday, we went and spent some quality time with your babies on Saturday night. Maurice drooled all over me while I rubbed his ears; Simone kept rubbing her head on Chris; Henri was content to just lounge on the couch next to us; and Marcel was happy to get a drink out of the bathroom sink. Both Henri and Marcel tried to sneak some pizza crust off my plate when they thought we weren’t looking.
They all said to tell you, "Meow, Meow, MEOW MEOW MEEEEOOOOW!"
