You've been a good friend and support to many....it was their turn to get to bless you and your family.<br />Being a caregiver is next to being a mom in the "hardest job you'll ever love" category.

Do something that sounds as if, it would be wonderful if someone did it, if we were in such a situation.<br /><br />You are blessed to be surrounded by such caring people.<br /><br />Tessa~Tessa~ Here there be musinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661988938395877761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238455262711858186.post-89298638028281776862015-01-04T08:38:06.315-06:002015-01-04T08:38:06.315-06:00When my son in law was unexpectedly stricken with ...When my son in law was unexpectedly stricken with a virus that left him on life support, I had to stay with their 3 preschoolers while she braved the hospital. Her friends were incredible. Ideas for the waiters - someone brought her a comfy throw and a package of fuzzy socks. Boxed snacks are great when you can't leave the area for hours. A small cooler of beverages, too. Even "comfy pants" sweats or pj pants to change into. Another friend dropped off a bagel tray to the house to feed relatives who ran in and out. They organized a meal schedule. Even a bucket of chicken - something to hand the parents and grandparents and siblings when they come through a door. Luckily our story has a happy ending - 2 years later he is as good as new, but it is hard to think of what you need when something strikes - I learned somethings to just do without asking and it sounds like you did, too! Best wishes during recovery. Miss Merryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10691152819794851137noreply@blogger.com
