December 5, 2005 - Mid-Morning

Mandy is pretty much unchanged from yesterday's post. She's still busy talking, but we're not making out too much of what she's saying yet. Our big goals for today are finding out whether she'll be getting on the plane to go back to the Big D tomorrow or Wednesday and determining how to handle all the anticipated visits from family and friends. At this point, we'd like to plan on giving her at least 2 days of recouperation from the travel before she receives visitors (if she's up to it before then, we will of course post that information). This would mean that Friday or Saturday would probably be the first day for visitors. We'll get back to everyone later with more information on schedules etc. We know everyone is very anxious to see her and of course, it will be good for her to see familiar faces. We may try and put together a sign-up schedule so that visitors are spaced at a rate that they don't overwhelm her - so for those of you who don't like planning anything out ahead of time, this may be a "growth opportunity" for you! We'll post more when we have more specific information on departure date etc.
