11:30 P.M. Well better news tonight Stacey has been back to her calm self the last few days, she has been getting her own cup to drink from, I mean we put it beside her, so she has been picking it up and drinking it on her own, and she has been wanting more attention like holding her hand, she let me clip and file her nails tonight without any resistance, and it seems as if she has been using less cuss words. I am really starting to get my hopes up that she may be moving into the next faze of the comma stage, she has even been taking her wheel chair strap off and trying to stand which her legs are not strong enough but she is trying. The chair strap scares me a little bit I am afraid that she will do it when we are not in the room and fall, but we have been trying to keep a close eye on her. We definitely will have our hands full when she does start standing, that kinda scares me to, but we have got this far with her not to much more to be surprised by, but I am sure she will make sure there is a few things. Tonight the picture is of her in the Miss Teen Missouri USA competition in Dec. of 2005 in Kansas City, Mo.
