Desperate in Doernbecher's

Friends, family, strangers, lend me your ears.

Apparently I have some pathetically desperate need for validation. Are you out there? Are you reading this crazy blog-thing?

I'm withholding judgment on the whole blog universe. Most blogs seem to be individual's random thoughts and opinions thrown against the proverbial wall to see what sticks. I probably...scratch that...definitely would not have a blog if not for the ease of updating everyone on Lillian's progress. Mostly due to the fact that I had never even seen a blog prior to writing this one. (I know, welcome to the modern world.)

However, since I do have one, I'm sadly checking it multiple times a day to see if anyone is reading it. So thank you, thank you, thank you for all of your encouraging comments. They nourish our souls and validate that my scattered mutterings are worthwhile.

Signed,
Desperate in Doernbecher's

Yahoo for being at the halfway point. And...thank you for the comment on my blog. There IS something so validating about having someone take the time to not only check but leave a message. And just so you know, any writing skills I may have at this point are because of the time I've spent writing with you and Wendy. Praying with/for you that you're able to spend Christmas at home this year and that you're able to fill your sugarplum with lots of food!

Lori, Jeff and Lilllian,
I have been reading your blogs faithfully and have reported to my friends at church who are praying for your family.

Unfortunately I didn't realize how much comments would mean to you. Reading the blogs keeps all of us informed as to specifics that we can pray about. We love to hear about successes especially. Scott, Ann Alisa and Laura are also keeping up with news about Lillian.

Keep up the blogging. You will appreciate it when all of this is over and Lillie is a healthy girl.

Mary Ann Colburn

Merry Christmas and I hope it is in your own home.

I love reading all your posts - they are very well written. I'm thinking you missed your calling as a writer!
Glad to hear Miss Lillian is doing well - and we'll keep our fingers crossed you get to be home for Christmas!!!

Hi Lori,

You remember us - the Duerden's from Glencoe HS days. Your mom e-mailed me your blog site and I just finished reading the entire thing out loud to Bill. As I was reading it I thought how well written and interesting it is - my first blog to read (maybe I'll read others now). Lillian is adorable and is a real trooper. She is about the same age as John's little girl (Madison) and if we can ever get them to come visit from Maryland maybe we can have a play date. Remember when your Mom hit John with a rock on the way back from Bend? We'll keep any weapons out of her reach this time.

Our thoughts are with you and we wish you a very merry Christmas at home.

Barb & Bill

We're out here and reading everything! I check your blog many times a week. I really love to see pictures of your little angel.

I agree with Traci...moster cookies could be the answer! We used to justify them because we were getting our protein from the peanut butter, but this sheds a whole new light on the famous cookie. Don't forget to go to the store for the DOZEN eggs the recipe calls for!!! :)

OK. I really hope and pray you are all at home for Christmas. Hang in there and keep bloggin.

Hi Lori,

Thank you so much for the updates. Lillian is often the topic of dinner conversations. The girls are always asking about how she is doing.
I'm glad you can have some sense of humor, I'm not sure I could. We will be praying for a Wonderful at home Christmas for the three of you.

Lot's of thoughts and prayers,
Melissa

I tend to read your blog at work so everyone in my office knows what is going on and adds there good wishes for you guys!
Just wanted to add my good wishes!

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my blog to get additional info.

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.
