Steve that is the nicest get well soon sentiment I've ever gotten.  Thank you so much.  Your the greatest!  ;D

Cheryl I got your big hug and thank you.

I believe you are given choices in life and it is not what has happened to you that defines who you are.  It is how you handle the situation and finding the positive in an almost hopeless situation that counts the most.  My son is my hero and I have had the pleasure of learning this from him.

16~
Hey!  How are you feeling?
Here we in Colorado!  The girls did well today and so did I!!  Really, this was the 1st time I have really skied since the AN surgery/stroke (we tried about a year after, but I was pregnant and got super sick b/c I was miscarrying - not much skiing!!).  The balance thing wasn't too bad except when I tried to use one foot to try to stomp on the other binding (& still had one ski on) - I kind of went flying!  WHEEEEEEE!!!
Hope you are better -- I will try to call when I get home Monday!

Just thought that everyone would want to know that I spoke to OMG16 tonight and she is NOT doing well.  She is doing even worse & the infectious disease doctor does not return until Friday.  They are trying to keep her comfortable...I knew something was wrong when i hadn't hardly heard from her.  Please keep her in your prayers!

I'm sorry to hear that about OMG16, she has been through enough, already. It is too bad she has to wait until Friday, that will seem like a long time if she is doing poorly. Please let her know that we are all thinking about her, and sending lots of those forehead kisses as well.
