I was a member for over a year! Someone bought it from you and then Traci bought it from her. I went through that transition with them! LOL! Okay, the non-scrappers in this won't get the hilarity of how small the world is when you scrap...but again...OMG! I love you and your family since the moment I found your blog but now I have scrappers worship going on too! :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all of you.Lil Tinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09221506437912169890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-79699104646583991072008-12-30T22:18:00.000-06:002008-12-30T22:18:00.000-06:00I hope the hospital replaces the lift ASAP. What ...I hope the hospital replaces the lift ASAP. What a pain!<BR/>The reflexologist sounds like a great asset. I hope she's able to get more range in Kevin's arm. It's amazing what a difference a naturopathic technique like that can make.<BR/>I can't believe it's been four months already. Just that fact that Kevin can get out of the hospital and hang out at your house is incredible. I'm praying for more miraculous improvements after the cranioplasty! And I'm also praying for a miracle regarding the house. At least it sounds like the market is good for home buyers right now. Not sure if that makes a difference to a foreclosure situation?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-86518577128122714852008-12-30T21:39:00.000-06:002008-12-30T21:39:00.000-06:00What a great Poem !!!Kevin did come a long way !

I have only had one experience with it, myself, and man, when she hit the spot on my foot, I felt it all the way up my leg. There are pressure points all over our bodies, that can be excellent, no-intrusive, ways to heal. I hope it continues to work. As Alison wrote, "every little bit helps".<BR/><BR/>Prayers continue for the house. Maybe the price they are thinking of is not to God's liking and He needs to work on it a bit longer!!<BR/><BR/>Thinking of you....love, hugs and prayers.

I'm so glad that the time in Florida is going better than in Texas. It's so nice you are able to go places- it probably helps break up the day too. So are they going to get another lift for you soon? <BR/>Have a great day! <BR/>Kathy in IowaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-11599918393684628792008-12-30T08:24:00.000-06:002008-12-30T08:24:00.000-06:00A beautiful tribute to Kevin..It speaks mountains ...A beautiful tribute to Kevin..It speaks mountains and I agree with every part of it. <BR/>-EmilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815867650533403423.post-31427823838724180762008-12-30T08:04:00.000-06:002008-12-30T08:04:00.000-06:00JUST A SOLDIER – A Tribute to Kevin Kammerdiener(T...JUST A SOLDIER – A Tribute to Kevin Kammerdiener<BR/>(T.

I hope it helps him on Wednesday even more!<BR/><BR/>The bed lift being broken sounds like a pain but it's also good to hear that Kevin is able to stand up and transfer himself - even if it is exhausting. That's a step in the right direction as well.<BR/><BR/>Kevin has come so far the last four months and the last 212 days, it really is amazing.<BR/><BR/>Thoughts and prayers about the surgery and the house situation coming your way.
