Hello friends!! This is Jen Gray hopping on here to let you all know how you can access Sara's Care Calendar over the next few months. We all know that Sara is like a machine...she just goes and goes. She jumps at the first chance to bring meals, treats, thoughtful gifts, cards, hand-me-downs, homemade granola and banana bread.

My hope is that we can show her that we see that and that we are all just as eager to roll up our sleeves and fill our calendars with ways to serve and support her in return. We are creating a "wish list" of things we anticipate she or her family may need or want. If you want to help with that list in any way, you can leave comments here. I'm imagining we will need to put our core group's contact information on this blog so that if you want to communicate with us directly about anything you can do

This was easy-peasy comparatively and gratefully! And no drama with “going under” if any of you remember my crazy anesthesia story from last time. I told my (Dutch!) anesthesiologist about and asked him if could not have a repeat performanc
