I got to spend the weekend with her and help her mommy make her first "<span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">girly</span>" room. She has pink walls and sweet pictures and even a mirror and dress-up hooks.

He was on oxygen and considering a lung transplant. Last Sunday, he received the gift of a donor lung at Stanford University Medical Center. We are so grateful!! A few weeks before he received it he told me that he and <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Mareen</span> were expecting four <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">grandbabies</span> in the next months. . . he laughingly said, "four babies and a lung!" The lung and one of the babies have arrived!!
