Jul. 8th

Today was interesting.

When we first got there, Angela was asleep. About 10 minutes later, she woke up and immediately asked for her cellphone. Jessica had the job of telling her that we hadn't.

Angela threw. a. fit! She was so mad she started yelling.

It wasn't that she was mad that was the stunner...

It was that we could HEAR HER!

Yup. Our little girl has found her voice.

And its her regular every day voice. She sounds exactly the same. But talking seemed to wear her out so after about 5 minutes of very vocal disappointment, she went back to sleep. Then again, she could have just been ignoring us due to the whole cell phone thing.

By the time we left, 3 hrs later, Angela was talking to us again and in a slightly better mood, probably because I promised we'd bring the phone on Sunday.

Her new trach still bothers her a little but I think being able to talk makes it worth it for her.

She still refuses to eat (and if you saw the stuff on those trays, you'd know why) but she can't get enough water. Her coloring looks almost perfect but she still can't move anything but her arms.

For now. She'll get better tho. It's only a matter of time.
