Need Golightly's Take On This

One of the great things about my relationship with Golightly is that we could call each other morning, day or night and talk about anything. Duh, that's how most friendships work, right? Well, not exactly. In fact, the last time we spoke she called me Wednesday night around eleven. To anyone else that might be an inappropriate hour to call a friend for some regular old chit chat, but not for me. I was up (and so was Lucero), so I took the call and we began to gab about everything: her wedding planning, X's job search, my frustrations with X, her frustrations with finding a venue, her move to a new apartment, etc. The call lasted over an hour (and during the call Lucero fell asleep in my arms). But besides catching up on each other's lives, we also typically call (or g-chat) to get the other's opinions on matters, as little or big as they may be.

Today I came across a dilemma, a small one, I mean, itty-bitty small, but nonetheless, it was one in which I would've asked Golightly for her opinion. I would've mentioned the issue, what I considered my options to be, and then wait for her to see what she thinks would be better. That's typically how it works.

Here's my itty-bitty dilemma: I'm trying to put an outfit together for Lucero, so we can finally take a professional photo of her. Here's the dress.



The issue is the shoes. I thought maybe she could wear some white sandals with it, but they seem to casual for it, so I quickly nixed those. So I thought about getting some white dress shoes to go with, but at the same time I don't want to buy white dress shoes, 'cause honestly I think it'll be the only time she wears them, since it's already warm and I don't want to squish her little feet in to some white patent shoes that make her feet sweat and are really too fancy for her casual spring dresses, which she'll mostly be wearing sandals with. X suggested we leave her barefoot, which I'm kinda for, because of the sweetness of it, but then at the same time I feel family may wonder why the heck we didn't put shoes on our poor little baby. And there you have it, my itty-bitty dilemma. Thoughts? Concerns? (I also sometimes call Ashley about these things, but she has a job that doesn't allow her the time to always debate these little issues.)

Yeah, so I would've called Golightly and she would've expressed her POV and follow up with how option whatever would be so cuuuute.

As far as Golightly, she was transferred to Baylor yesterday. This is the latest:
"I just talked to Cowboy and he gave me the most recent update on our girl. She had a pretty rough time with the move. She did not like being transferred one bit. During the ride she did a lot of posturing and thrashing about. But they were able to get her settled in late last night.

The docs at Baylor are already on the case. They did a new CT and the good news is her internal injuries seem to be healing. She still has some bleeding but not nearly as much as she had before. They really are not worried about these injuries right now.

As always their major concern is her brain. Cowboy said he knew they took her for new tests this morning but he didn't think one of them was for a new MRI. Her swelling on her brain has gone down some, but it really isn't as much as they were hoping. According to her new docs its really hard to make any accurate diagnosis's while her brain is still swollen.

Clint said right now she is moving around a lot. Esp when she hears voices. I am hoping it is because she recognizes the voices and is trying to come to us.... but that is just what i want to believe. Sadly, she is still doing a lot of posturing, which we know is not a good sign.

Cowboy is pretty shaken up right now. He didn't seem too steady on the phone. I think we need to remember him these next few days as well. I know most of our focus has been on Golightly and her mom, but if someone in dallas could just maybe do a check on him tonight that would be great."


So it seems our prayers are working in some aspect. I know these type of injuries take time to recover from, but let's all continue to hope and pray for a full recovery.
