Please pray for our grandson, Cody. Because of a pharmacy error, he is in Pediatric ICU. They overdosed him. He is on a ventilator. He was given 1,000 X the prescribed dose!

Update:
Cody is off of the ventilator and breathing on his own. He still sleeps most of the time but he has his moments where he can stay awake for short periods of time.

Cody is expected to go home today! He is still not himself but he is MUCH better!

Cody is home! We are all trying to catch our breaths. As Jenn said, the medical stress is over - now, the mental begins.

Update:

Cody is back in ICU. Jenn called while they were taking him back to the hospital. Cody started throwing up yesterday while still in ICU. His ct-scan was normal so they proceeded with his discharge. Cody became ill again on the way home and he hasn't stopped throwing up since. Jenn said she was up most of the night with him and now, he can't even keep Ginger Ale down.

They are admitting him back to ICU. I am confident that is not a reflection of his "illness", rather, a prudent move since they know him so well. Most likely, he needs to be kept hydrated. I will update you when I have answers.

Cody is home! Thank you all for your prayers. Now, we get our minds ready for the law suit. Pray for easy sailing.

It is my hope that we get to know each other and in doing so, we will be able to share in each others joys.

I simply must place God on top of my favorite list. For without Him, I would be lost. With Him, my joys are enhanced and my sorrows are made lighter.

Coffee! I must have my coffee or I am not a happy camper.

I am addicted to weight-lifting. I know, I know!

I guess you can call me a gym-rat. After 35 years of smoking (3 packs a day) I quit on March 27th, 2007. If I'm not here, I am probably at the gym.

(Before picture was taken on May 4th, 2007 - After picture was taken on Christmas Eve, 2007.)

I cannot get enough of Broadway (or local) productions. I am hooked. The last one I saw was Mamma Mia!

It was out of this world - great! My cousins flew in from California so they treated me on my birthday to a trip to New York where we took in the show and had a fabulous meal, later in the day. I was in heaven. (I still am!) Before Mamma Mia, I saw Les Mis in Philadelphia. I thoroughly enjoyed the traveling production, recently, with my sister, two daughters and my husband. I saw The Producers in NYC and it was marvelously funny.

My spaghetti sauce is one of my favorite foods as is chili. But since I've become a health nut, I am careful about what I eat.

We have a passion for historical sights. Right now, we are planning our third visit to Washington DC. We can't wait to go back!

Now that I've shared a few of my favorite things, why not share with me.
Until we meet again, may God bless you and all whom you hold dear.

To Where You Are
Preformed by: Josh Groban

Who can say for certain
Maybe you're still here
I feel you all around me
Your memories so clear

Deep in the stillness
I can hear you speak
You're still an inspiration
Can it be (? )
That you are mine
Forever love
And you are watching over me from up above

Fly me up to where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile to know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

Are you gently sleeping
Here inside my dream
And isn't faith believing
All power can't be seen

As my heart holds you
Just one beat away
I cherish all you gave me everyday
'cause you are mine
Forever love
Watching me from up above

And I believe
That angels breathe
And that love will live on and never leave

Fly me up
To where you are
Beyond the distant star
I wish upon tonight
To see you smile
If only for awhile
To know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are

I know you're there
A breath away's not far
To where you are
