    Cards for our Troops

    in GENERAL

    Posted

    I posted this in inspirational yesterday but think it really deserves a little more exposure so I am popping it on here for a bit....

    ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    I just did this and I also added it to my Facebook page.. I hope you will all take a moment and send a card to our Troops.

    For those who are not aware, I have a 20 yr old son in the Army National Guard who is being deployed sometime within the next 16 months. It looks like January of 2010 right now but of course there is no way of knowing for certain.

    Warm Hugs,

    Christine

    If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.com you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq . You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to some member of the armed services.

    This is also such a wonderful idea and I hope it gets much attention!

    I thought this was a nice thing to do so I'm passing it along.

    GREAT IDEA!! When doing your Holiday cards this year, take one

    card and send it to this address. If we pass this on and everyone sends

    one card, think of how many cards these wonderful special people who

    have sacrificed so much would get.

    When you are making out your Holiday card list this year, please

    include the following:

    A Recovering American Soldier

    c/o Walter Reed Army Medical Center

    6900 Georgia Avenue,NW

    Washington,D.C. 20307-5001

    Thanks so much... this is so important! These young men and women are sacrificing so much for all of us. It only takes a minute and a stamp to let them know we appreciate them.

    Hi Hope

    So glad you have found this to be a helpful site!! This really is a great bunch of people overall.

    Just a suggestion but you could maybe print some of the good news posts and the posts that might be helpful to your sister and share them with her in that manner or even just read some of them to her. ANYTHING to keep her spirits up and show her that there is a ton of hope here!!!

    Hugs to you and your sister,

    Hello Nancy and welcome to the site.

    I'm so sorry you had reason to find us but am glad you've joined us!

    I am sure the others will be along soon with some wonderful advice but until then the only thing I can offer is maybe getting Mom to go see the doctor rather than just talking to the nurse by phone? The poor thing, I am so sory she is in such discomfort.

    Please keep posting and let us know how things are going and of course let us know how we can help you and Mom out at anytime!!

    Warm hugs

    End of life legal suggestions..

    End Of Life Legal Suggestions

    These are so important to take into consideration...

    *Filling out a healthcare proxy also known as a living will. This is a document that gives authorization to a designated person to make health care decisions on behalf of the patient in the event that he or she is not able to do so on their own.

    *A Do Not Resuscitate order. This is an advanced directive that patients may make to forego CPR or other resuscitative efforts in the event that the heart stops beating or breathing stops. This may be written by a doctor after discussing the issue with the patient or his/her healthcare proxy and/or family.

    *Power Of Attorney. This is a written document that authorizes a person to act as another’s agent or attorney. This may be for a definite or specific act or it may be general in nature. The terms of the written POA may specify when it will expire. If not specified, the POA usually expires when the person granting it dies.

    *A will is document by which a person designates dispersion of his/her property/possessions after their death.

    None of these other suggestions take the place of filing a last will and testament.

    For a great resource on these documents and other excellent information, visit the Lance Armstrong Foundation page (www.livestrong.org)

    Check out the free Survivorship note book as well as the downloadable worksheets under the “cancer support” tab.

    ~~Please note that the legal issues discussed and outlined here are based on information and laws in the United States. Regulations and laws may vary according to location

    I am so sorry things are still going this way. My first thought when I read your post this morning is that he might benefit from a different anti depressant. They do not all work the same, so it may be very beneficial for him to try another one...

    Continued thougjhts and prayers
