You all are just too much. I received a few things in the mail today. It just brought tears to my eyes. I know you from here but have never met face to face and it's just amazing how a community came together for what is a stranger to you and family to me.

Thank you all so very much. I am sure Kristy will give a thank you note to post when I see her this weekend. It is just all overwhelming.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Susan they haven't said anything about what they really need. I just suggested wal-mart becuase they have everything. But Target, Lowes, Home Depot anything like that would be great I would think. Don't feel bad if you can't it's no biggie at all. Just keep them in your thoughts and prayers...as the weeks go by it will get easier but it want go away.

Kim, may I say that your extended family is blessed to have you. You're doing something great. You didn't have to do this but it just goes to show how wonderful you are and how much you care.

Telly Thank you for the kind comment. I just feel that this is the only thing I can for them. They need to concentrate on making the list and stuff like that for the insurance. My mom has 4 other siblings and we grew up very close with out cousins. They are more like brothers and sisters. We spend summers together and vacations together. We are very tight knit family. Which I am very thankful for.

Again Thank You!!!!

If I can help you guys to get it to Kim since I don't live far from Monroe let me know.

Dianne, will you be in the Huntersville or North Charlotte area anytime? If I were getting a gift card, I could mail it, but I have a few shopping bags of clothes and shoes for the 3yo boy. (No grown up stuff...sorry!) I have my own little 3yo so "carpooling" these things would be super helpful to me. Lemme know!

Kathy not worries - I can get it from you at some point. My MIL lives in Huntersville I could always meet you there or something to that effect. We are taking the kids to the wiggles tomorrow night so I will be leaving work around 3:30. I am meeting up with Dianne for lunch in Matthews saturday and then heading to Monroe to spend the afternoon helping where I can.

Again everyone Thanks so much!!! It's hard to believe it's already been a week.

KIM! I am so sorry that I haven't gotten mine to you yet! With school starting back this week (I'm a teacher) and everything else that's going on, I've been slack and irresponsible and haven't sent anything. I promise it's coming. I haven't read the rest of this thread lately, but is there any place in paticular that they need gift cards from? Is there anything else that they need more than gift cards? I am so sorry for being late with this.

Denika - It is not problem really. I talked to my aunt today as Kristy was out at the house and I didn't want to bother her. They haven't said anything about any certin place for gift cards. She said they still need clothes....so anyplace like Wal-Mart, Target, Khols any place really that they can get clothes from would be great. I am still collecting clothes here so I am taking her what I have to her tomorrow.

Thanks again everyone.

Hey Kim, I'll be at Concord Mills tomorrow from 11am to 1 or 1:30. Could we schedule a drop-off of the bags I have? I'll check the board in the morning. If no reply, I'll call your cell when I hit the road at 10:30am.

Hey Kim it was fun meeting you and Curtis for lunch yesterday. What a cool place!

Sept 19 our church is having a "Fall kid's konsignment sale" One of the cirlces wants to sponsour your cousin and the other family. They will be emailing me details. They will let them come in before hand and get stuff I think they are giving them coupns or something, and then at the end they can have whatever else they'd like. I think they also get furniture.

Made the drop-off (thanks Kim for meeting me, and Dianne for waiting for my late butt...LOL) and Sept 9th I'll load up toys to bring.

That's a great idea, Dianne! How nice!

Dianne & Kathy thank you so much. It was great to see ya'll to for a little on Saturday. :D

Dianne I will talk to Kristy and see if she is available that day. If not maybe her mom could come in her place. Unfortunatly she still has a business to run through the week and weekends right now are consummed with cleaning out what she can of the house. That is far enough away she might be able to make arrangments. Keep me posted on what she has to do and when with the times and I will pass it along to her.

She told me to tell everyone THANK YOU from the bottem of her heart. They whole family is just so grateful.

The insurance company has rented them a house and there is a website she goes to pick out all her furniture and such that the insurance company will rent for her. So things are starting to fall into place for her and the family a little bit at a time. She has opened an account to put all the money and such that people have giving them so that they can use it when they get their new house. She doesn't want to spend it now since she doesn't know how much the insurance is actually going to pay out and if the furniture and kitchen things will be replaced etc....still so many unanswered questions.

Thanks for the continued prayers and thoughts....

Love from Kim and Kristy, Ray, Charlie, Missouri & Russell!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
