A gift??? Oh no!!! Sammi, I have bought jello of every flavor, popsicles, ice cream, strawberries and bananas to make smoothies, and lots and lots of bottled water that she can drink, but a gift??? Stupid me!!!! I could die!!!

Some of Helen's excellent cyber friends have been kind enough to send her gift certificates that she has used to get all kinds of good activities, like books and cds. Do you think having Mom take off two days from work to "nurse" her will do? Oh, I hope so!!! I allowed her to have people spend the night all weekend, spent loads of money helping them to have fun, even allowing two friends Saturday night!! Hope that went towards the gift catagory!!! I even got a new refrigerator last month that makes crushed ice, so she could eat ice chips.

But, Tonya, NO ROGERETTE!!!! No way!! That Roger is quite demanding enough on his own!!! LOL!!!!

Thank you, Sandra, for letting everyone know what is going on here. I debated whether to mention it to you all. But you know what, it was the right thing to do!! You are all so supportive of Helen and me, and all of our crazy, but wonderful animals. I could not have more wonderful friends.

Honey and Lilly have been groomed today, so they are clean and ready to help "nurse". In fact, Lilly got the treasured spot in the "big bed" tonight, as Honey was critter hunting and still has refused to come inside! Butter is extremely friendly right now, having just spent about 30 minutes in my lap!! What a guy!!! And Mimi is her regular sweet self, so she will be great at warming up my girl and keeping her happy. And Roger will sing lovely tunes to her. I may even allow him to spend some time in her room if she wants him.

Thank you, everyone. I will let Sandra know by phone, when we are home tomorrow afternoon, so she can update you.

Love,
Logan
