Hello Bill, I will echo what others have said. We want you to focus on your wife and family and this group of individuals in the prospecting world will handle the rest. I understand the awkard feelings of what people are doing for your family, but I am thinking, if you know these folks well enough, they will not listen to the "we don't need you to do this". It's happening and that's all there is to it! Again, if you have questions, please feel free to call, I have some experience in this area. Not that I am trying to get into your business, but I can help you out with resources and contacts without being directly involved in Barb's care. Call day or night, we are here! My cell 602-614-5829. Dawn Allison

Bill, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. If you should need anything or have any questions, I am here. As a hospice nurse, I can assist in finding resources for you and answer any questions about the process you have or just be there for you as a friend in need. You have our numbers, use them whenever you need, anytime of day or night. Dawn Allison

Hey Guys, The post was not deleted, just locked. From the famous words of a wise man......"Can't we all just get along?" Play nice with each other. Take Care, Dawnie

Rob is the puppetmaster!! I am the servant!! A lesson I have learned throughout life, and again recently, peeps jump to conclusions. They read something wrong or take it wrong or something. These threads can get way out of hand. Everybody knows it, some do know it, and the ones that think they do seem to forget that they really don't. Everyone go decompress and tomorrow is a new day! Good Night All, Dawnie

Hello All, I just wanted to let people know, that frequent the forums anyway, Rob will be out of town for a few weeks. So if you should happen to call and do not get an answer, I am at work during the week and taking care of the lil' munchkin at night. Shep - I will give you a call later to get that info from you Anyway, I hope all is well with everyone. Take Care, Dawnie

Hello Everyone, Thanks for all of the wonderful comments. She is the most precious thing ever!! DOC-- Congrats on recently finding out you are going to be a Grandpa. Diana must be ecstatic! I have provided a link below to some newborn pics that my niece took with Riley, Rob, and myself. Check out the smile on Rob's face. He is toast!! It's hard to believe that such a big man can fit around such a little finger!! Enjoy the pics. I hope you find her as beautiful as we do. http://gallery.me.com/ftrain9#100282 Take Care, Dawnie

Hello Everyone, Thank you so much for the Birthday wishes and Happy Birthday to Pondmn, too. Let's see.....what did Rob get me for my Birthday...--------> Enough said!! Thanks again, guys. Dawnie

Hey Uncle Ron, We have a better handle on it now that what we did the day I was put in the hospital. When that doctor came in the room and told us that we may have her today and by c-section because she is breach, it was official freak-out time. The due date is not until the 3rd of April so I still have another 8 weeks to go yet. A week or two early, I wouldn't mind so much, but not eight. For those of you who don't understand the measurements that are performed when you are pregnant, this is how this all came about. Your stomach is supposed to measure however many weeks you are (in centimeters). When I went in to see the doctor, I was only measuring 27cm when I should have been measuring 31cm, which meant I was behind by 4 weeks and prompted the ultrasound. That is where they discovered that the baby did not have enough fluid around her which can eventually cause me to go into labor. I am happy to report that Rob measured my belly here at home and I am measuring just under 31cm so I am almost exactly where I need to be, which is 32 weeks. We will continue down this road and everything should turn out fine. Dawnie

Hello Everyone, Thanks so much for all of the well-wishes and prayers, they are all greatly appreciated. I promise to do everything the doctor tells me to do. He has already taken me completely off of work and wasn't happy that I was even working light duty because of some other issues that was I having due to the pregnancy. I must say, it has been quite the experience!! We will keep everybody up to date on things and I am hoping to go the distance. Although we want to see her and hold her, we are not ready, especially not like this and definitelyt not this early because they estimate she only weighs about 3.9 lbs. at this time. All of her numbers have been good and she does not seem to be under a lot of distress. They have checked and re-checked all systems of her anatomy and basically I was severely dehydrated which didn't help her produce any fluid for herself. All of my numbers are coming up and I will be going in twice a week for ultrasounds and stress tests to make sure that she is alright. She is quite the trooper!! Again, I want to thank everybody for your kindness and support during our bumpy lil' time. Take Care, Dawnie

Hey Guys, Thanks for the well-wishes. I do feel a lot better than I did, I am just so limited on what I can take. Rob is still feeling it today and, unfortunately, may not have the greatest Christmas. I hope everyone has a wonderful day with your families and please stay as healthy and safe as possible. Merry Christmas Everyone! Dawnie

Hey Everyone, Xerox is doing an amazing thing for our troops abroad. Just follow the link I have posted below and you can pick out a Christmas card to send to a service man or woman overseas right now. It doesn't cost a thing and you cannot pick who it goes to, but it will go to someone who definitely deserves it. There are tons of cards to choose from with art work done by school-age children and there are sayings you can pick to put inside the card or write it yourself. It is super easy and takes no time at all. Give it a go: www.LetsSayThanks.com Take Care and Happy Holidays!! Dawnie

Hello Everyone, I just wanted to say Thanks to all of you for the well wishes. We will be sure to get pitures and maybe post a few on the forums. Take Care and Thanks again. Dawnie (AKA The future Mrs. Allison)
