In a Nutshell

I've been kinda busy, going here and there and doing little things in between.

-Made an impromptu trip to San Antonio last week for Fiesta. It was very brief, but very fun. Loved being back in ol' San Antone.

-Made another impromptu trip, but this time to El Paso to visit X's side of the family. Had fun. Went to the outlet mall, spent too much money for a person who doesn't have a job, but whatcha gonna do? Besides, I found a dress to wear in my brother's wedding.

-Been hunting for a pediatrician for Lucero. Since X lost his job, we have no health insurance, so I did what I had to do and signed my baby up for Medicaid. Well, her current pediatrician doesn't accept Medicaid, which is why I had to go find another doc for her. Just for the record, this will be the third pediatrician she's seen in her first year of life.

-Speaking of first year, I've been planning my little one's first birthday bash, or shall I say fiesta? Afterall, Lucero is a Cinco de Mayo baby, so it's only fitting that her first birthday go with the theme.


And that's about it.

In Golightly news, I got this e-mail from a friend a couple of days ago.
"Hi Everyone,

Can you believe it, 7 weeks already? 44 days have passed since Golightly has talked to us.... it still doesn't seem to make sense.

Just wanted to send my post Dallas visit update. Things are looking more positive on the eye movement front. As of yesterday, she was keeping her eyes open for long durations. This weekend on Sat she kept them open for over an hour. Yesterday, she was able to move her head in the direction of her mom's voice.... These are all great signs. She hasn't shown any sign of waking up, but she was able to track her brother's finger with her eyes.... But the doctors aren't really sure what all this means. We just can't know anything about her prognosis until she wakes up.

In positive news, one of Golightly's good friend, in her tireless efforts, has arraigned for angel flight to take Golightly home at no cost to her mother, when the time comes. This is incredible news and such a weight lifted off her mother's shoulders. But when this will all happen depends on when Golightly gets medicaid to help her find a long term nursing home that can take her.

i want to thank everyone who has made a donation to Golightly. We have raised a fair amount money, all that will help her family take care of Golightly. Please continue to donate if you can, any dollar amount will help.

As the days pass it gets harder and harder to hold on to hope. Friends of friends forget to ask us how she is doing, our daily routines go back to a sort of normal, but please don't forget about Golightly and don't let your friends forget about her either. Her family is never going to be normal again, they will be dealing with the repercussions of this accident, no matter what the outcome, for the rest of their lives.

We, Golightly's friends and family, are planning a fundraiser in Dallas in June. We are thinking June 13th or so. So please mark your calenders now. Its going to be along the lines of food and fun, with everyone making a donation."



And also, if anyone is curious, the guy who was driving the vehicle in which Golightly was riding in when the accident occurred, he's Cowboy's old roommate, a cop...well, he was let go from his position. So that's the latest and greatest on that.
