MOMMY:
Luis and I are amazed at how many people feel deeply affected by all of this. I didn't even realize that we knew that many people. This experience has brought together both of our families, and has strengthened friendships including those where our own affairs and busy lives had separated us. We can't thank everyone enough for their generosity, including a gazillion books and toys for Luis, visiting us and helping with simple tasks like getting water from the Patient Pantry, food (the hospital's food is just like the stereotype), financial support, lawn maintenance, tax advice, etc.!
While I appreciate the many offers to babysit Julien, we are still struggling to wean him to a bottle. That's another fight to deal with and I'm taking that one 'day by day' also.
For all the love and support, from our hearts to yours, our deepest thanks.
What can you do to help?
T – Thoughts and prayers from you, your friends, and their
friends, and….
H – Hold onto hope
I – Indulge in a Big Mac at the "Big M" as Luis calls it and ask how you can donate to the Ronald McDonald Houses. You can also visit www.rmhswo.ca/how-you-can-help.
N – No sick germs please! If you aren’t feeling well, please
wait a couple weeks before visiting. And when you come, sanitize, sanitize, and sanitize!
K – Kiss and hug your little ones like you never have
before.
O – Outreach to those in need. Help the elderly in your lives, participate in a walk-a-thon or fundraiser, volunteer. Whatever it is that makes a difference in someone else's life who may be struggling.
F – Feel free to call us at the hospital during the week (weekends will be busy with visitors). We're still trying to re-establish a routine, but good times to call are probably 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. If you need more info, call the family or message me.
U – Understand that we appreciate your many messages via email, facebook, etc. even if we don't say thank you to you directly. Like I said, we are getting A LOT of support.
S – Send your wishes. It brightens our days. We like visits, emails, blog comments, phone calls, cards, drawings, etc.

Hello Jen & Family,
ReplyDeleteThis is Laveesh's Mom Luckshie. I just came from Laveesh's Montessori. I heard Luis talked to laveesh today. We are very touched. We all hope the best for him and we wish him Good Luck. I just joined as one of the members too. Is there any way I can contact you by email or phone number. I want to share mine too. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
