Fundraising, infections and kiddos.....

We had our annual Ben and Jerry's Free Icecream fundraiser on Tuesday. The most we have ever raised was about 325....we raised $508.00 this time!! I was really surprised. There was a whole lot of $1.00 bills put into the bucket....those ones sure do add up! Thank God for generous people!!

Zoe still hasn't gotten over her sinus infection. We have been fighting it for over 2 months now. First we watched it....then we called in....then we had the 3 weeks of Augmentin....then we watched it for 2 weeks again...now we have called it in again because it is still driving her crazy....runny, thick, yellow mucus, out of breath, etc..... sooooo... now we were put on Cipro. Yay. The fun begins. Anyone out there have any advise on how to deal with the "rules" on before and after times for taking Cipro with antacids and milk products??????? Any advise would be helpful about now.....

As far as me....I have had a few sad times lately. Does it get better? I sure as hell hope so. Yesterday there was a voice mail showing on my house phone. I hit the play button.....it said....one new message....then it proceeded to play a message from Mel. From several months ago. It blew me away. I cried. Couldn't even listen to the whole thing. I didn't even know this message was on my answering machine. How can a message be there but I've never heard it for months???

My 3 middle kiddos left Tuesday for Tn. They will be staying with my parents for 4-5 weeks like they did last year. They have a blast when they go there. I miss them terribly, but know they are in the best hands!
I hope and pray you all are doing well..... take care of YOU and YOURS................................

Great Strides

I have been humbled. When I put up the Great Strides link on my cf.com blog....I really didn't think anyone would donate. Hell...we are all fighting the same disease.
I have had several people from this site give to Zoe's Great Strides.....some say...go team Zoe....others are doing it in memory of Mel..... Thank you!! I love ya'll....................
Today is the 3 month anniv. for Mel's death....and Friday is her birthday....hard week for me. Jazz is feeling it also....please keep her in your thoughts and prayers.
Take care of you and yours.........
