Popular Post Longjohn Posted February 11, 2020 Popular Post Share #1 Posted February 11, 2020 Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was making lunch and heard a rap at the door. I went to the door as the UPS guy was walking down the driveway. I picked up the large heavy box and was surprised by the weight. I was expecting a box of medical supplies today, pads, wipes, lotions, and drugs. The hospice nurse said they should be delivered today. I set the box down and went back to making lunch. We had our lunch and I did a load of laundry, sheets, gowns,towels, etc. I finally sat down and was checking the forum. Finally I decided to open the box and see what all supplies I got. That’s when I saw the perishable notification on the box. I opened it and found a note. Four bags of cookies and a big basket with six loaves of gourmet breads. I set the cookies on Esthers tray and she immediately started enjoying them. Thank you again, We are getting more support from you guys than our local face to face friends. I did let people know if they have any trace of colds or flu we didn’t need them to expose us because of our weak immune systems. 14 7 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Airehead Posted February 12, 2020 Popular Post Share #4 Posted February 12, 2020 This makes my heart smile. People are generally good. John, I hope you know that we care about you.

Longjohn Posted February 12, 2020 Author Share #6 Posted February 12, 2020 I just read about the bakery that made these delicious treats. It’s called the Hearts and Flour Bakery. Delicious sweet gifts baked and packaged by adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. That is so cool. The brochure introduced some of their bakers. A man named Adam with Down’s syndrome. These people have a special place in my heart. The place is Misericordia Heart of Mercy in Chicago. They have over eighty people working the bakery. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kirby Posted February 12, 2020 Share #9 Posted February 12, 2020 This forum can be full of silliness sometimes, but I love the genuine caring we find here too. But did you ever get the supplies you were expecting? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But did you ever get the supplies you were expecting? They didn’t come today. She has enough of the drugs for two weeks. The only thing we are out of is the disposable bed pads. I have a couple washable ones I can use. She actually could get by without them, they are just a safety pad in case I have trouble with the bedpan. I’m pretty good with it and I have three different kinds and found out what works for us. I never thought I be discussing bedpans but you do what you have to do for someone you love. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Silly Posted February 12, 2020 Share #13 Posted February 12, 2020 It made me happy to see Esther enjoying the cookies. I wish I could take credit for sending them but, like Aire, I'm one of the forum jerks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
