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 26, 2005 - Late Night



One of the sweetest images that we could hope for is to your left. The room the princess fought for her life, opened her eyes for the first time and gave us hope for 37 days has been left behind. At 8:30PM tonight, they moved the princess to the MSI unit, the long awaited "step-down" unit. It is still critical care, but it is a private room with a window where she can see the sun shine and maybe even the stars once in a while. We're not sure what the rules are yet re: flowers, cards, balloons etc but we'll ask tomorrow. The visiting hours remain the same so we'll be on the same schedule for the intermediate future. Sweet dreams for everyone checking in tonight and our baby girl most of all.
