Re: Teddy Bear is resting from this morning's surgery...

<t>Francine, Your outlook on this is very inspirational to me. Ashley will be getting her cast off on Dec 10 at BCH & I cannot wait to see her arm again & hug her so that I can actually "feel" her. I wish Maia the very best in her surgery & we'll be thinking of you.<br/> I think you are ...

Re: Mary (Sarah's mom)

<t>Hi Mary, When you mentioned seeing the OB delivery dr in the store & the feelings you had, brought back alot of memories for me when I saw my delivery dr in the store also. She seemed as though she didn't have a care in the world just doing her shopping. It made me wonder if she thinks about ...

Re: Mod/Qod Casting ???'s

<t>Hi Francine, I'm really glad Maia didn't get a hard cast with her skin problems, I think she would have had a really hard time with it. Ashley is pretty fair skinned but her skin's pretty tough & she already has some real sore spots. I thank you for the info very much. Everyone has been so he...

Re: Mod/Qod Casting ???'s

Patty, Thank You! Ashley is very fair skinned too & theres this one spot on her that seems to be very sensitive. Not to mention she was laying on her back for 3 days straight sweating & stuff. She's finally up and about banging her cast into everything lol.
