Sorry for the delay in getting this posted. I was out of town and technology was not working in my favor!
As many of you have read Kay is having an amazing week! The girl doesn't give up!
Tuesday was an amazing day for Kay, her family and friends. She was finally able to speak! It was an early Christmas present for everyone!
Monday Kay had a smaller trach put in that can be capped to allow her to speak. When Mrs. O'Meara arrived at the hospital Tuesday morning she heard Kay's voice say "That's my mom" as she was heading down to physical therapy. What a wonderful surprise! Kay spoke to Mr. O'Meara and Cindy all day! She even spoke to Devin, Mr. O'Meara, David & Monica on the phone. To hear Kay's voice again was the most amazing thing!
Kay still definitely has her personality. She was joking with her dad, noticed her mom's necklace and when asked what she wanted for Christmas she said a BMW. Watch out Devin! That's our girl!
Kay was also asking for food, she missed Thanksgiving dinner so who wouldn't want some real food. David didn't fool her when he pretended to call and order food for them. Kay knew right away that he didn't really order anything. Just like Stephen mentioned, it's hard to pull one over on Kay. The nurses have started giving Kay yogurt and some pureed food and she even has been able to feed herself!
Kay must be so much happier now that she is able to talk and start eating. It was so frustrating for her to try to mouth her words before. Mt. Sinai better watch out, Kay will have a lot to say!
It will still be a while before Kay is ready to take phone calls and such, but before we know it we will be hearing her crazy, hilarious stories and wonderful singing again.
Kay continues to work hard at her therapy. Being able to talk will for sure make it easier for her.
Keep sending her your wonderful words of support. She's come so far in just over a month! What a fighter!
We Love You Kay!

My Dear Kay,
I am so happy for you and all of us who love you. There are tears in my eyes....just one month ago we weren't sure what your future would be. Now hopes have been fulfilled and the future is filled with more promise. We are merging into the Christmas Season and the joy we are experiencing is only heightened by the miraculous recover you are making. We all are thankful to God for his gifts.
Kay I am truly overwhelmed with happiness because I know that you are doing so well. You truly are the brightest light this Christmas!!!
I am trying to figure out what I can make for you....You used to love the bacon, onion, tomatoes and pasta we used to make and then you would not eat the bacon....but I do think you started eating meat again...or of course there could be the lemon chicken...or maybe the chocolate chip cookies or the brownies....maybe I should start with a baked apple.....
Love
Mama Sheehy

You have no idea how happy you made me when I heard your voice the other night! It was truly amazing! I can't wait until you're calling me with your hilarious stories or leaving me crazy voicemails again soon! Now you can sing with me when I visit instead of just having to listen to me!

Kay,
Well I think everyone has said it all already. You are an amazing person you definately are Gods gift to us all.
I will not be able to write over the weekend so just remember you need to rest. I'm sure that will be hard when you have so many people coming to see your smile and hear your voice again.
Even though I can't write this weekend you will never be out of my thoughts and prayers.
This might sound funny but I sat outside earlier and just said a prayer thanking God for staying by your side and giving you the strength to go on.
Well wishing you a good progressive weekend and have some fun too.
Always in my thoughts and prayers
Dara
