November 30, 2005 - Evening

Well, we didn't plan on posting again today, but the princess had other plans. For the first time in 42 (?) days, Mandy spoke. Within 30 minutes of her respiratory therapist capping her trach (and thus being physically capable of speaking), Mandy responded to Kurt's normal question of "What's wrong baby?" with 3 pretty specific responses. "I'm hot", "My stomach hurts" and "My head hurts". Her voice was quiet and Kurt had to listen closely to hear what she's saying, but considering the fact that she hasn't been able to speak for so long, it's a huge home run. (And perfectly understable complaints given her current physical state!) What an amazing feat from an equally amazing woman. Hoo-rah.
