November 6, 2005 - Mid-Morning
Our girl continues to hang in there. She ran a fever of 104 degrees last night (we're discovering that fevers are a constant theme with anyone in the ICU), but they were able to bring it down with Tylenol and cold blankets. Her fever is back to normal ranges this morning. Her last reading of phenobarbital in her system is slightly under 2. We hope to see it completely leave her system sometime within the early part of the coming week. All of her other numbers and her physical responses remain about the same, with no increase or decrease. Until the swelling is fully eliminated from her brain, we may not be able to ask for more movement than we currently receive. There just isn't enough known about the brain to determine how she'll progress, but we know that making it this far has been a miracle. Keep cashing in those chips for favors owed everyone and we'll update again tomorrow.

Keri and I have churches all over Cleburne and Johnson County sending out prayers today. Like I said before, there is an army fighting for the Princess. We have to let God and Mandy decide the timeline, and stand behind them all the way. We're with you, Mandy!

Amanda girl - still checking on you and keeping you in our hearts. We have encircled you with Love and will be here waiting for you.
When I take care of my kitty cats and feed them, I'm sending little kitty pets to yours also.
Kurt ~ Ron ~ Brenda: We thank you so very much for the continued news. It means so much to all of us. Love, TAnn

Hi Amanda,
We have to remember that Rome wasn't built in a day and as much as we are ready for you to come back to us, Dan said that we have to let you and God decide on the timeline, and I thought that was very well put. We'll wait. God is patient with all of us, so we must also be patient. (Although I do wish there was an express line). I'm still saying my prayers many times a day for you, and for all of us that want you back!!
Keep fighting!!
Love Lj

You are going to be VERY rested when you wake up from this weeks long forced nap. We miss you terribly at the office, and I am praying for you all the time - especially in the car, and you know my commute, so lots and lots of prayers! kim

I've decided that when you get back and are ready for Taco Bueno, I'm going to get the Mucho Nachos and not even stress about the million or so fat grams. So you don't need to feel guilty about taking your time - I'll need it to lose weight in advance!
I haven't been doing well with following Weight Watchers lately (been blaming you for part of that, sorry), but I just started boot camp. It kicked my butt Friday, so we'll see how I do tomorrow. Natalie and Courtney are doing it, too, so I'm hoping their skinnier butts motivate my lazy one!
Anyway, I'm still praying for you all the time, and I know you can feel the love coming from me and all the rest of the fan club (or kingdom, if you prefer). I send hugs and warm fuzzies your way.
Keep moving forward!!!
Love,
Terri

It's TAnn again ~ worked a bit late tonight and thought I was tired but went to bed and could not sleep so I though I'd send you a quick note.
Today I was reading one of my "heavy books" and read that even though you may not be able to respond to us at this point in time, you CAN hear what is said to you and Kurt will be reading you all our messges ~ thank you, Kurt.
I continually send you the most positive thoughts and know they are getting through to you. So many are doing the same thing and we know you can feel our love ~
Much love to you ~ TAnn

Hi Amanda,
i got my hot pink "faith" bracelet from, i believe, TAnn, via Shannon, then via Kelly. ;) every time i notice it (which is often b/c it's like NEON pink!) i think of you. not that i NEED it to think of you, though... you are in my thoughts at LEAST 100 times a day, with or without it!
i am getting better and better with patience, and i am glad that you are staying strong and hanging in there. keep it up!
you and Kurt remain in my thoughts and prayers every day.
love,
amy p

Good morning Mandy!
We saw your babies last night. Gene put his speaker phone on so Daddy could talk to them:) Maurice caught a mouse again. Simone ruined the party on the patio! Gene caught her trying to go over the fence so everybody had to come in! No more going out after dark!
Just think, when you get home, Kurt will be used to taking care of the bills so that's one less thing you will have to do! Plus all of your personal assistants will do anything for you around the house:)
Oh! I guess your neighbors are painting our old house this aweful peach color! Yuck! I'm so sorry we moved!
Well, have a great day for Kurt! He loves you so much & needs to see your pretty smile:) Stay tough little one! We love you!
Gene & Christine
