Angelique & Chloe 02/26/05
Susie writes - Here are a couple pictures of Angelique and Chloe for the picture page. I had them yesterday for a few hours. We had a great time, Angelique watched Lion King and fell asleep on the vibrating couch about half way through the middle of the movie.
Baby Michael is still in the hospital. He now weighs 10 pounds 12 ounces. He will get a permanent feeding tube in his side some time this week I think and if all goes well, he could be home by the end of the week.
Chloe weighs 11 pounds 2 ounces now. She is going to be fitted with a helmet to round out her head. First they will make a plaster cast of her head, then use that as the model to make her helmet. I don't know how long she will have it. I'll send pictures along she is fitted with her helmet.
Heidi's back at Fort Bragg 02/25/05

Roger & Barb Up North 02/23/05
Roger and Barb Schmit went up to the house in Michigan to install a new surround sound system. Roger explains "
The weekend up north was great. There was only a couple of inches of
snow on the ground when we got up there but it snowed all day Sunday,
about 6". The installation went O.K. but I have some fine tuning to do
next week when I go back up. We watched
"The Bourne Supremacy" & "Samurai". Really enjoyed the surround sound
but Barb kept jumping every time the sound came from behind her. When I go back up next week I'll remember to take the camera and will
post some pictures."

Baby Michael Improving 02/15/05
Over a week ago, little Michael McWilliams Jr. was hospitalized for being under weight. Michael didn't like the feeding tube used to give him nurishment and pulled it out several times. Last night he pulled it out for the last time and is now using a nursing bottle. He has gained weight and is now up to 9 pounds. Because of this improvement, he should be coming home soon.

Breast Cancer 02/14/05
Erin sends this important message ... I keep
this on my list of e-mails and when I see it, I go on and click. It's
fast and helps many women. Take a sec and do it! Please tell ten friends today The Breast Cancer site is having trouble getting enough people to click on it daily to meet their quota
of donating at least one free mammogram a day to an underprivileged
woman.
It takes less than a minute to go to their site and click on
"donating a mammogram" for free (pink window in the middle). This doesn't
cost you a thing. Their corporate sponsors/advertisers use the number
of daily visits to donate mammogram in exchange for advertising. Here's the web site! Pass it along to people you know.
