Thank you for the update - just sent a birthday card as well- great job on the instructions and link - esp the reminder about the security code needing to be entered for impatient people like me who otherwise overlook that tiny box underneath it charm
Susan thanks for the in person report on our gal and her fresh flowers. charm

I am so relieved the flowers are nice. I tried to have them sent when i was in italy, but I was in the middle of the mountains by then and internet connection was somewhat unreliable. I got disconnected when I clicked on payment. The shop people were helpful though I asked them to re-email me the invoice and paid when i got home to mountainless Surrey where internet is more constant.

I got her one of those snuggie blankets for her birthday to cheer her up that way she can be warm in the hospital. She also wanted to tell everyone that she has MRSA i guess its a form of blood poisoning.

I spoke to your mom just briefly today...she said the hospital staff sang her happy birthday. And, she was delighted to get everyone's cards. But, it still has to be tough to spend a birthday in the hospital. Hope the MRSA infection clears soon!
