A new year and so much to be thankful for. For one, I am thankful for my health and that of my family. I know what it’s like to not have it and I hope if any one else can relate and possibly give something to this awesome sub family of the fans of this band, I’m sure they would so appreciate it. I know I’m going to keep doing so throughout the year. Amy is making improvements but it will indeed be a very long road to recovery. Thanks to all who read this for keeping her and her family in your hearts!
Amy is doing really well today. Pretty alert while we were there, and she’s now beginning to turn her head towards whoever is talking and look right at them. That’s a pretty big step. It also looks like she’s really trying to communicate, though not making sounds yet. Overall very happy with her progress

I'm so happy that she is making positive steps. I don't know her but as a person it is wonderful to hear that this strong woman is fighting back against what must be unbearable hardship to make it back to her friends and family.
Amy has another pretty good day today. She was awake the entire time we were there, although she was pretty out of it (understandable given how exhausted I’m sure she is). She didn’t feel like doing too much, although she is really starting to move her mouth and tongue a lot as if to communicate. She has officially been given discharge orders from the hospital. Her next stop will be a skilled nursing facility (NOT a nursing home) where they will continue to care for her as she recovers. Thank you again for all your amazing support. Without your help we would literally be in a huge financial burden right now. We love you all.
I felt pretty strongly early on that this story was not one that should fade from our community. I'm pretty stoked with all of us keeping this thread right here in the present. Situations like this give us reasons to shine and if those 'spines' represent the end of an era for this band, I am glad we had a backbone of our own to stand up to. It's great to feel all of us Alive.. and well

Hey everyone - I just wanted to personally share an update on Ames. It’s been almost a year since her accident, which resulted in a Traumatic Brain Injury. She’s continuing to slowly make progress and we’re hopeful she will stay on that path. Let’s get the bad shit out of the way first; she’s still unable to do anything on her own, relying on me for every day tasks. Even something as little as changing position in bed/on the couch. She also has trouble speaking clearly (she’ll actually sing along to me playing PJ songs for some music/speech therapy) and often gets frustrated with her condition, but fortunately she’s not suicidal.
However, it’s not all doom and gloom. She, somehow, has maintained her entire memory; both long and short term. Her personality is also 100% there. She’s still that caring, witty, sarcastic woman I feel in love with almost 20 years ago, and is still very much more than happy to speak her mind.
Many of you have supported us and continue to do so to this day. We cannot express how much that means to us.

happy borthday.
(don't worry, it shouldn't interrupt the current bitchfest
great to hear
She has officially been given discharge orders from the hospital. Her next stop will be a skilled nursing facility (NOT a nursing home) where they will continue to care for her as she recovers.
Thank you again for all your amazing support. Without your help we would literally be in a huge financial burden right now. We love you all.
Who is your daughter? Parker

Sister? Megan
Are you in pain? No
Dog? Hauss

She also said said “I want to leave” so we explained she will be able to soon but she’s in the best place right now. She seemed to comprehend that.
(Yes, we will be giving her a nice “spa/facial day” soon
So glad she is remembering and able to speak a bit.
Thoughts for her as it seems it will be a long recovery, but thankful that she is recovering. That must have been a horrendous car crash.
