November 14, 2005 - Mid-Morning
This was a big medical day for our girl. They turned off the drain this morning and are planning on taking her for another CAT scan this afternoon. Should that go well, they will be removing the 2nd and last bolt head from her head tomorrow. (No more antennae!) The chest tube should also be removed at that time. They're gradually reducing the number of tubes and holes they had to put in our girl to help make her well - thank goodness!
Between the CAT scan and the minor surgical procedures to remove tubes etc., they'll be moving her around a bit so we may not be able to expect any new "swimming near the surface" movements - but it's all in the progression forward to helping her get back on her feet again so we'll cheer it on anyway. Go Princess!

Hi Mandy! Big day today huh? I'll be praying for you to be "antennae free" :)
I forgot to tell you about Tammy's new dog Delyla:) She's an English Mastiff & she is one BIG girl!!! She makes Tabby (their 100lb lab) look small. The 2 of them play like kittens together:) Can't wait for you to see her!
Oh, Pooh & Robin are sporting really hot new haircuts. They laid in the "danger zone" way too long one day! Their tails look just like my powder brush:) They chase them a lot now!
Well, I'll be thinking about you all day as usual.
"God, please bring her home soon."
Love you little one!
Christine

We will down one or two in your every lasting honor and continue to pray for you. I am sure that both you and Kurt will make it to the next one. We love you and miss you a ton. Can't wait to see you again.
Love,

Hi there... you don't know me... but my name is Sandy and I heard about what happened to you through a new friend named Christine. My prayers are with you and your family during this challenging time. In reading the different blogs... you are a well loved and certainly a precious person. An elderly woman once told me that you just don't have freinds... you earn them.!! Well, you surley have mastered that!
God bless you,
Sandy

Wow - I'm so happy to hear about the drain being removed and possibly the bolts and tubes tomorrow! I am praying that the CAT scan shows miraculous recovery - I am so ready to have you back.
By the way, I found out that the older guy with b.o. and no teeth follows all the girls around - so I shouldn't expect any proposal soon. Back to the drawing board...
Also, I got some more bracelets for the Circle of LOVE - some "Angel", "Flirt", "2 Cute 4 You" --- and some "Princess" ones I'll be sending your way. If anyone wants some, just let me know! (kelly.bradley@brinker.com)
Love Ya,

Mandy,
If you really liked the antennaes I might be able to have some attached to a tiara. We'll be praying that all of your procedures go well.
Love,

Hey sweet girl, I'm just checking in on you to see if there was any new news - I only went to the blog site about 30 times or so today. I hope the antennaectomy (or is it boltectomy) went well today and that you are bolt free by now! It is already 8 o'clock this evening-time flew around here today, I guess I must have been busy. I could have really used some Mandy Monkey Cheerleading today...I wish you were here, but hey, enough about me, I'm supposed to be cheering you today, so you GO, FIGHT, WIN!!!!
As always, I'm thinking of you and Kurt and praying for you both.
Take care and I'll check back in on you tomorrow.
Take care,
Love Lj

It's bedtime for me. I hope you have a good night and that more of the swelling goes down and more of "you" comes to the surface. Love you lots, but you already know that. I miss you.

"Oh Mandy. You came and you gave without taking, and I sent you away oh Mandy. You kissed me and stopped me from shaking, and I need you." Of course Barry Manilow sings it so much better than I do. Maybe Kurt will sing it to you for me. Terri, Jess, and I sang this song to you when we visited. I'm sure you don't remember, but we will sing some more when you get better! Miss you. Love you.
