A Special Pumpkin

So I went to the pumpkin patch and what did I see? A little pumpkin just for me! He couldn't do many of the things the other pumpkins could do. He also needed some extra loving care to keep him healthy and from having to go to the pumpkin hospital. As I picked him up out of the patch, I hesitated. I wasn't sure if I was cut out for the job. Then he smiled at me with his bright smile and looked up at me with his cute face. His gentle spirit won my heart. How could I resist? Please say a little prayer for my Mother-in-law. Her and my Father-in-law were vacationing in Hawaii and she fell and fractured her femur at the hip. I don't have very many details as of now as this just recently happened. If you have been following our journey for awhile, she fell and fractured her pelvis back in spring of '08 and had to go through a long rehab period. They could be in Hawaii for awhile. Have a great week!

I know I've been to your blog before, but I have to say, I want that trach mask you have on him in the pictures. Its the same one we use at night on the humidifier, but the oxygen mask on the nose does not stay on, he rips it off. If I could connect it to oxygen tubing like you do he would leave it alone. Did they tell you to do that or did you come up with that idea?
