She asked that we get the message out to all of you that Jo loves all of us and misses us and she is doing all she can to get better. So love to all of you from Starby!!! :p Still keep prayers going. Her friend is being guardedly optimistic but such joy in her voice....it was wonderful to hear.

Her sister just got to me on Facebook and she said Starby is the same and smiled and was talking... she is a fighter! Love you Starbs... come on girl, we miss you!
Rebby, you are wonderful... just sayin':)

OMG! I just got a call from Starby! I only got to talk to her for a few minutes but we talked.

As soon as I heard her voice I burst into tears, poor Jo, she was trying so hard to comfort me, but damn, I didn't think I'd ever get to talk to her again, just hearing her voice was amazing.

I told her I love her, she told me she's okay. She asked me to call her back on my Magic Jack but the number she gave me is no good.

I called the hospital and asked to talk to her but no can do. The staff says they gave her the message that I called back and Jo told them to tell me she'll call me back later.

My God I hope she does. She sounded good. She sounds like our Ducky. Just hearing her voice. I can't tell you what this means to me.

Had to tell you all.

Yay! Starby is better! Starby's better! Oh, that you God, but now, that's not the end. We need to continue with our prayers!

Thanks Rebbie for the update! :)

Hi everyone!

My bad day just got great! Seriously!

I just got a call for Starby. At first she called, gave me a number to call back on my magic jack (otherwise it's long distance) but the number was wrong.

She called back we talked for 1/2 hour. She sounds good, clear, determined to get better. I still don't want to let myself have hope because it would be even harder to lose her if I allow myself to think she'll be okay. The doctors are still saying she won't make it, but talking to her just now, she sounds wonderful, she sounds like she just may pull off a miracle.

I'm sitting here crying right now. I never thought I'd hear her voice again. That alone is a miracle, and if that's all I can have then I'll take it.

She sends her love to all, she said that around 6 times, so love to all.

Wow. That's all I can say. One prayer answered, another to go.

J_9 · Jun 12, 2009, 09:16 PM

That is all such good news. I'm totally speechless!!

Alty · Jun 12, 2009, 09:21 PM

Me too J. I couldn't believe it. As soon as I heard her voice I broke out in tears. I honestly never thought I'd hear that voice again.

Like I said, the doctors still don't hold out any hope, I don't want to allow myself the hope only to be disappointed, but... but... that's all I can say. But.

Miracles do happen, I believe that. I hope we get one. :)

JoeCanada76 · Jun 13, 2009, 04:22 AM

Wow, That is Awesome Atly.

It is good that she has had the chance to call you and speak to you.

It is amazing. Praying the recovery continues.

Hopes, prayers, vibes, energies, wishes {did that cover everybody?) for Starby's continued progress.

I would really like to know her more.

redhed35 · Jun 13, 2009, 05:33 AM

I've read all the posts,from mudweiser to catsmine,and I'm sitting here thinking how wonderful it would be near the end of my life and know I have touched so many people's lives...

shazamataz · Jun 13, 2009, 05:59 AM

Oh my gosh... I don't come on here for one day and look what happens!!
Great news Alty, I'm glad you got to talk to her, I'm so happy for you :)

Redhead, I think you speak for all of us here, I don't think there is a person on here she hasn't helped.

Stringer, the fact that I got a call was amazing. She really only had the chance to make one call. She did send her love to all, said she's frustrated that she can't talk to all of us. She'd love to get a phone in her room but her mother took all her bank cards etc. She has no money so she can't get a phone.

nitelight198073 · Jun 13, 2009, 07:51 AM

Wow she is talking that is great I am so happy for her and you I know you were so worried everyone pulling for her must have worked.yay!!

Alty · Jun 13, 2009, 07:54 AM

Niley, it's not over, the doctors are still saying there's no hope, but she's fighting and that's something, something great.

Stringer · Jun 13, 2009, 07:57 AM

I wouldn't p*ss off the duck :(.

Wait... no, maybe that is just what is needed? She is better when she has something to prove... :).

JoeCanada76 · Jun 13, 2009, 08:02 AM

I think your right stringer. I think getting her pissed off. Will make her want to fight more.
