January 20, 2006 - Early Morning
From Dacia's breakfast with Amanda yesterday,"Mandy was the cutest thing this morning! Terri and I were with her and having a hard time getting her left foot in her shoe. We decided to have her stand up and push her foot down into the shoe. We supported her on each side while she did it, and after she got her foot in her shoe we told her she could sit back down if she wanted to. She stood there and said very sweetly, "you can kiss me now." So we both smooched her on the cheek and she got a big smile on her face, said, "thank you," and sat down."

Mandy, you are amazing! I was so excited when you remembered my name for most of the morning (until you got tired). And I was amazed when you jokingly called me Lili, then said my name was "Terri Hawkins" - I haven't reminded you of my last name at all, so that came straight from your memory bank. Then later, I incorrectly identified a kitty in a picture as Henri, and you told me it was Simone - of course you know your babies better than I do! You are a wonderful friend, and it is so gratifying to watch you as you make your way back to us.
Love you immensely!
Terri

So cool Mandy! I love when you’re memory kicks in & you are “on”. It gives us all the extra reassurance that we will get “you” back:) Keep up the great work! We don’t know how difficult all this is for you, but we all still pray for you to have strength to continue to try harder each day.
I miss you this week! Stupid work! Stupid business! Stupid bills!
Okay, I’m done! I love you little one.

What, you mean you only kissed her cheeks and not the tops of her hands too??? Don't you know you're in the presence of Royalty? :o)
That was a sweet story - thanks for sharing!!

I can just hear you saying "OK, you can kiss me now". That is so you.
I can't wait for you to get moved over to CNS - its not far from my office and I can drop by at lunch.
Looking forward to seeing you.
