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.

December 18, 2005 - Morning


An excerpt from Lori's visit a few days ago: "When I got there, Amanda's friend, Christine was there. I walked up to Amanda and asked her if she knew who I was. She shook her head yes. I asked her to tell me what my name was. She looked at me for one very serious moment and said 'Yvette'. A little disappointed at first, but thinking more about it, I know that Yvette is a good friend of hers and that she knows I am a good friend of hers. She is still somewhat confused, but is trying to put all the pieces together and is doing a great job. Christine and I were talking about Brinker and Real Estate, and Amanda chimed in "We do not need another restaurant". She is still making us all laugh."

    Mandy, it was good to see you last night, even if you weren't too interested in socializing. When you're better, I want the recipe of whatever dish you were saying that you made that "all the guys at work ask about". If you made it, I know it was delicious!
    Good job on the walking yesterday!
    I hope you have a great day again today.

    Love,
    Terri

    Hi Princess fans!

    I had the pleasure of visiting with Mandy yesterday afternoon. It was quite enjoyable. Mandy was very talkative and active. When I asked her about her physical therapy, she said, "It sucked! They shouldn't make me do that." She told me lots of stories, most of which I couldn't understand. But, she seemed very interested in telling me. I asked her what she wanted for Christmas. She mumbled something, then said, "But, it costs $200 and I don't really need it anyways." She was playing with her monkey, sitting it up so it could watch TV, and kissing it. When I told Mandy that I would come visit again next weekend, she said, "That would be good."

    The improvement over last Sunday was remarkable. She was much more talkative and active. Her 'awake' periods are much more often and longer. She still fades between 'awake' and 'in a fog'. But, she is improving, and improving quickly. It was a joy to visit with her.

    Madison and I visited on Saturday evening. When Madee came in, she looked right at Madison and in her regular Amanda voice said "HI MADISON!" Rene was there helping the nurse getting her situated. When Rene was putting some lotion on her face, she moved her face and cheeks side to side in the correct make-up application form! She told us some stories and chatted for about 30 minutes (alternating between both a soft and regular tone) about getting some type of a "certificate, but it didn't work out" and that she always "let's Kurt handle that kind of stuff." Great to see you! Great to hear of your walking efforts on Sunday from Kevin. Love you Amanda and Kurt -corinna b.

    Mandy stay strong sweetie. I'm coming to see you tomorrow. I took the day off to do some shopping. I'm going to try and schedule morning time and see if I can cut your hair than. Sound good?

    See you tomorrow.
    Love you, Rene
