More good news. The swelling has come way down in Dorothy's tongue - it's almost down to normal. Mikele and Bob expected Dorothy to be kind of sleepy as usual, when they got there this morning, but she was wide awake. Later on, they were listening to VH1, and Mikele asked if Dorth wanted her to turn off the music. NO - shakes her head! Hey, a new way to communicate! Would you like me to read you the letter that Michelle brought yesterday? YES - nods her head! Mikele reads the letter. Toward the end, Michelle says, "And now it's time for an anecdote." It's a cute story about the girls hanging out in a corner of the school for lunch.
Dorothy finds strategic places in the shadows to place some fruit. Then she waits. At this point in the story, Dorothy smiles, hugely, around her ventilator tube. She knows what's coming... The story continues. After waiting awhile, there is the sound of a fruit squishing, a pause, and then... "Oh, [expletive deleted]..."

Hello, so glad to hear of the great progress with Dorothy. That you are taking time to share it in this blog is wonderful, when you have so much to be concerned about. I know others must be checking in all the time, like me, to see what new thing Dorothy is doing. Keep strong! JayMe
