Good Morning All.
Sue, gaRry & jEn...sounds like a great day. Glad you guys got to meet up. And you even got to meet the infamous Boo. If anyone's ever Boston way, I'd love to meet up.
Denise, Gymnastics, huh? How cute!!!! Jimmy's doing good. He has lost 13 lbs which is good 'cause I know he's cheating here and there (just haven't bagged him yet).
Well, going to a big fundraiser today for a man DH knows that has lived in this city his whole life. This is a story that makes me thankful for my health that I take for granted each day and reminds me not to sweat the small stuff.....
Just before Christmas he went into the hospital with Viral Pneumonia which developed into Sestic Shock (sp?). Was so infected was given last rights, the whole deal. The antibotics he was given to try to knock the infection out cut circulation to his limbs. He survived, but lost both arms to the elbow and both legs up to the knee. He has a wife and four children ranging from 15 to 6.
His friends got together this fundraiser and sold tables of 10 for $250 and it is sold out at 250 people. It's an all day BBQ 12pm-8pm, 4 live bands, DJ's and tons of raffles and such. All so this man can get prosthetic limbs that his insurance won't cover.
