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.

IMPORTANT POST FOR DALLAS VISITORS

We had our weekly report from Baylor and we want to provide some feedback. The staff feels that we may be overwhelming her and impeding her progress with all of our love and visits. Do not feel bad. Do not feel guilty. Do not stop visiting. Sometimes our instincts lead us astray and we're all learning as we go through this. The thing to do is become more knowledgable about what we can do to help. Here's what everyone needs to do:

1) Baylor provided us with a chapter on Cognitive, Behavioral and Physical Problems following Brain Injury so that we can better help her improve. Each visitor will be sent a PDF copy of this file when they reserve a visitation slot. It is required reading before you visit. It gives you lots of information about brain injuries and the kinds of things you should do and avoid.

2) We've updated the Visit Blog once again with the most important items to keep in mind. Please read them thoroughly and Know Before You Go.

Thanks team! We're going to get her through this yet!

    I hope y'all are still reading the blog comments to Amanda.

    Amanda, welcome home. Glad you are getting better every day. Merry Christmas to you and Kurt and Ron!

    I'm going to the Eve Eve party tonight. It will be very different not seing you there. Rest assured that we will be thinking about you. Oh yeah, I'm sure there will be plenty of parties to attend when you are up to it.

    Again, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
