Help Set a World Record

Friday, February 16th, 2007

set a World Record!

You can help break the world’s record for the most birthday cards!

A 7 year old little boy, staying at The Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario, is terminally ill. He has just one wish before he passes away. He wants to break the world’s record for the most birthday cards received for one individual from the public. Please find the time to fill this little boy’s last wish and send him a birthday card. His birthday isn’t until May 30th, but Canada Post would like to start as early as possible to gather all the birthday cards expected to arrive for this little boy. The mailing address is…

Update from Renee

Friday, February 16th, 2007

My oxygen level was way low (80) and my carbon monoxide was very high. My skin color was bluish-grey for 3 weeks. I was so out of it, because of a lack of oxygen, I wasn’t able to make a decision or even form a complete sentence.

One day, I remember thinking I was dying. All I was saying was that “I need an ambulance”, at which time my husband rushed me to the hospital. I was put into ICU right away and eventually came back to a normal color and level of consciousness. The nurse told me that I was lucky that I was brought in when I was. I was at blood gas levels of respiratory failure.

I am back at home again. Hopefully, I will be okay for a bit longer.

Thank you for your prayers cards and good wishes.

I missed a Feb Birthday

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

I missed a February birthday! Cindy P. is celebrating on the 19th. (thanks Joanna for noticing!)

Please forgive the lack of updating on the website :( I’m having some technical difficulties here at home and haven’t been able to devote the time I need to on the site right now. Hopefully, by the weekend, I’ll catch up :)

Hugs,

What Happened to our Participation

Monday, February 5th, 2007

for the month of January? Cindy gave me feedback that our Feature, Cindy P., only received about 10 cards and that included the cards that our moderators sent:(

With the amount of members we have subscribed, that is less than 10% participating!! I’m hoping that participation picks up and we just hit a lull coming off the holidays.

Kath, Cindy, Gigi, Connie, Lori, Jean and Tricia
