**If you want to help - Nugget and Ann**

[jamisoncollette]

I donated a small amount since money is a little tight right now. I was thinking, perhaps we all might want to make another donation later on since Paul, Ann and Nugget will be all the way in California for quite some time.

Also, Ann & Paul both travel a ton, so they may have FF Miles, or hotel credits at their disposal- Ann & I haven't really talked about that yet. At the very minimum, we will send them a care package, probably some restaurant gift certificates, etc to help while they're there. If you have any other ideas feel free to post them

Perhaps a visa gift card would be good, that way they will have access to some extra cash for all the little expenses that tend to add up. Just paying for parking at a hospital everyday can add up very fast!

I think that's a great idea & Visa is accepted most everywhere. Parking does add up, and food, and transportation, not to mention lodging...yeah a Visa card would cover all that

So was Hans! Well, he grew up to be a little bit of a mamma's boy, but he was fine. His mom told me he was actually airlifted to another hospital and was teeny, tiny.

I cant believe I have missed this thread. Poor Ann, she must be in so much pain and scared. Im gald nugget is ok and paul is there for her support. You girls are honestly incredible on here. I know you were going to check with her about cards. Do you know if we are able to send those to her, or to someone to get it to her.... I think she would be touch if she got a bunch of little cards from us letting her know were thinking about her.

I will send you money tomorrow.

See Ann it's pretty common, Drea & Hans were early & teeny too! Will said he fit in the palm of his dad's hand...lol

And just think, this was back in the 70's when medicine probably sucked in comparison to now, Nugget will be fine!

I got an e-mail from Paul and it looks like Nugget might arrive today possibly so let's wait until Nugget arrives since Ann will be released from the hospital shortly after she delivers.

Christine, I got that email as well. I was SO excited to see it. I'll be watching email & the forum all day today wondering if she has nugget.
