My apologies for the delay in responding.<BR/><BR/>It has been a rough month since I last blogged, but hopefully the next month will be better. <BR/><BR/>My plan is to blog again soon and give you all an update on what's going on with Beth and the medicos.Linda McClunghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03135680064533305212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-62588599641782425832008-11-17T20:23:00.000-08:002008-11-17T20:23:00.000-08:00Hey, I just caught up on some of the last posts wh...Hey, I just caught up on some of the last posts where you talk about visiting Seattle, and I looked up the medical center you mentioned. Its actually quite close to where I live, maybe 30-45 minutes away. I don't have a lot of resources, not even a house to open to you, but if you run into problems and you think you might benefit from someone here, just say so and I'll see what I can do. I know Elizabeth has my email address, or you can comment on my blog, which I check obsessively even when I don't write anything.Tayihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00475323690049542329noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-33711373112913088252008-11-15T23:01:00.000-08:002008-11-15T23:01:00.000-08:00Hi Linda & Cheryl, Wanted to reach out to you ...Hi Linda & Cheryl, <BR/><BR/>Wanted to reach out to you both after reading Elizabeth's last entry; sounds like things are particularly tough for all of you at present.

How's plans for that going? Understand it's frustrating for all of you waiting to get whatever evidence together... hope it's able to happen in short order.

I wish you and Beth all the best in this regard. I would donate a little something, but with the R/$ being as it is, you would most likely only be able to buy a pumpkin pie with it in the end ;D.<BR/><BR/>Keep WellDrakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17399984990451097763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-73395917912389027542008-10-23T06:48:00.000-07:002008-10-23T06:48:00.000-07:00Is there nothing positive aboout seeing the latest...Is there nothing positive aboout seeing the latest specialist?

I know she's not mine at all, but I am so glad that she has someone so wonderful-sounding as you to look after her, and to give her the chance to blog.<BR/><BR/>Thank you, Cheryl, for looking after Elizabeth and Linda. Ditto the above, with different emphasis.<BR/><BR/>I, too, am thankful that I followed the link to Elizabeth's blog. She really does make a lot of difference to a lot of people, and a little difference to even more. <BR/><BR/>I am also thankful that this website is running at last!Optistatichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000726114121989951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-43773894654114834682008-10-15T14:21:00.000-07:002008-10-15T14:21:00.000-07:00That is a lovely post.

I really like mince pie, too, which most people don't like.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad the postcards are still a good thing, despite the groaners. :) I wish there were more coming in for Elizabeth, though - I know how much work she puts in to the ones that go out, and it's a shame more people don't send something back. There should be a surprise coming soon - I just need to get it packed and sent. Not a big one, but it's something.<BR/><BR/>Sorry I can't contribute to the financial side. The job situation is miserable right now. It'll get better soon.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for this post. I'm glad so many people are part of your family & care enough to help.<BR/><BR/>I am continually amazed by your dedication, patience, and love, and by the love you & Elizabeth share.

I think we miss out by not having a Thanksgiving day or equivalent here though - but, on reflection, Brits aren't great at celebrating. We'd have to have a 'national queuing day' or 'national talking about the weather day or something' ;)<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and happy belated thanksgiving.

It wasn't a great weekend for us; our cat had to be put to sleep, and my sister-inlaw, who normally hosts thanksgiving dinners, is waiting for a knee replacement, and she can't walk at the moment. So no cooking bug dinners.<BR/><BR/>Like Laura, I feel closer to you two, without having met you, than I do to my brother. I'm trying to be closer to my father now that he's alone, but I'm finding it very difficult.<BR/><BR/>I hope Beth enjoyed the cards I sent; don't know if she'll send out the last one in the booklet, though.<BR/><BR/>Love and zen hugs to all,<BR/>NeilNeilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14749163161371187138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8804412787620082387.post-90503735118484944942008-10-15T02:16:00.000-07:002008-10-15T02:16:00.000-07:00Shalom you funky women.

Just wanted to comment that I get a lot out of reading & now occasionally commenting on Screw Bronze, and the occasional email, but I also get a lot out of seeing what happens when people care deeply for each other like you do as a family.
