Oh I Forgot!

I have to type quickly  bc the internet cuts off after about eight minutes.

I forgot to tell you, Dear Readers, about the only 'conversation' Lincoln has had since surgery.  Last night his sister, Eva, was on the phone and she wanted to talk her brother.  I told her he was sleeping but she could talk into his ear anyway.  Well, I held the phone up to his ear, and, get this, HE OPENED HIS EYES AND TALKED TO HER.  I don't know how to find speakerphone on my phone (two tin cans linked with string) so I'm not sure what she said but I know she told him she loved him and missed him and hoped he felt better.  He replied to her questions with one word answers.  I can't remember exactly what she said, you can look to her blog for that (I will too), but I do know that Andy and I stood there with our jaws dropped to the ground.  No Way!  They really, really miss each other.  It was exactly like when they were babies and no one else could motivate Lincoln to work on a certain therapy, etc... well Eva would crawl nearby and BAM he'd follow and do whatever it was that his parents and therapists were pleading with him to do all along.  She is remarkable.  She's the 'Lincoln Whisperer'.  When I brought the phone back to my ear, I could hear her crying.  When I asked if she was crying, she quickly told me no and that she was okay.  I could clearly imagine her wiping her eyes and steadying her voice so she wouldn't make me upset.  She's been through so much and she's always thinking of our feelings.  I can't say enough about my Cookie.
