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

I just sent her a Birthday Card and just put 6th floor. Oops, hope it gets there. Glad she is finally allowed to have flowers. Hopefully they cheered her up.

Happy Birthday Christine. We miss you.

Take care,
Eileen

Just sent my card too.
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.

Cecilia, thanks for coordinating all of the OCF funds and sending the flowers! I'm glad so many people have sent e-cards for her birthday tomorrow. She really misses her OCF family.

My mom wanted me to thank everyone for the cards shes still amazed at how many people care about her. 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.

Travis, thanks for keeping us updated. 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!
