I know I'm strong medicine for a lot of folks. And I screamed over the blue cards--I DO remember those!! How clever of you all to make necklaces--sounds just like Parkland staff--smart, funny, always up to something.<br />Caroline<br /> Mayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13748186489959313530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2093417553155021018.post-43421072038389292972012-09-26T19:27:07.131-05:002012-09-26T19:27:07.131-05:00Hi,

And then we pulled them out every time we resuscitated a gomer.<br /> Maybe some day we can catch lunch with Adre and meet.<br /> I enjoy your blog, so many similarities to my experiences. I had a nephew with severe head injury a few years ago, Parkland did a great job. And my mother had Alzheimers and nursing home care....not fun I know. Keep up the good work in doing what she would have wanted for her end of life years. <br /> Joan Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
