Gage is in the hospital


Our friend Gage is currently admitted to the Mayo Clinic for a skin infection. His mom is hoping that they will do some allergy testing or refer her to National Jewish.
She mentioned some hospital in Wisconsin that has a similiar program as National Jewish. Once she has more information she will pass it on to me and I will pass it on to others.
This family needs our thoughts and prayers right now.

Sometimes Second Place is great!


Tonight was the season finale of the Celebrity Apprentice. Unfortunately Trace did not win, but he did make parents and family members of kids with food allergies proud. He brought this important issue to the forefront of national attention. If you missed the great video talking about FAAN last night check it out here. It sounded like things I have said or Laurie has said a million times. It also gives us hope that we should not give up this fight. Trace is also donating all the proceed of the iTunes downloads of his #1 country hit You're Gonna Miss This to FAAN, so if you are a country music FAAN (pun on purpose) then please consider downloading this track and supporting kids with food allergies. Even if you are not, download it as a gift to someone else. Laurie and I are supporting a move to get Sabrina's Law passed in Iowa, we are going to need a lot of help and support. I am warning you now I am going to be asking for letters and calls to our leaders and I may be looking for help to raise money as we have a couple kids here in Iowa that need help with their trip to National Jewish. Does anyone know Donald Trump, I would like to ask him for a couple donations.....

Have a great Friday-
Pray it Forward :)

All our love,

Bravo Bravo!!!! The leg is broken


Matt's theatrical debut was wonderful. He is a great job in his part at Peter and did his dramatic monologue flawlessly.  Considering how much he has been working lately at his new job I am surprised he was able to stand up there in the dark without falling asleep.  It was a great night and a Good Friday service like I have never participated in. It was very cool and moving.  Ask me about it, I will fill you in.  Lynda and Callie did a great job watching Matt without screaming and shrilling at the top of their lungs that he was on stage.  We had a great Easter morning and we went to church and had a great time (except for Matt, he had to work again this morning at 6 am, new guy and low on the totem pole).  Grandma and Grandpa Meyer were supposed to come up today, but Grandpa has the flu, so they stayed home.  We delivered some food down there for them and I think they were glad to have an Easter dinner even if it was not together.  Well it is time for me to go up and heat up the leftovers from lunch for dinner.  I hope all had a great day.

All our love,

Mommy Day

Well the girls were not feeling well today so they stayed home with Mom. They are feeling better now, it is the end of the winter everyone at school is in some stage of sick. We have a friend named Jesse that needs your prayers right now. He is at National Jewish (in the same room I was in) and he is also having to be in isolation due to MRSA. He has a site like ours and I want everyone who reads this to visit his site and leave him and his mom words of encouragement and prayers like you did for me. They are having a tough time and Tammy is mom is doing it on her own, no breaks. We were very happy to see that he got to goto the zoo this weekend.
Jesse's site:

Send him and his mom notes of encouragement and prayers!

Pray it forward!

Would you like Fries with that ???


Yep Matt has landed his very first job. He starts orientation at McDonald's tomorrow night. He will be making food and working up front etc. He is extremely excited about the potential to make money and maybe even get a car! He is doing GREAT in school. His grades are good and he has been participating in Track and the church play on Good Friday. So it you happen to be in center point, you may want to check out the McDonald's and maybe a familiar face will be serving you or preparing that Big Mac!


Callie and I are excited about the fact we may get some Happy Meal toys.

Have a great week!

Mommy is Home!

Mommy got back from a Trade Show in Arizona, she was gone all last week. She must be good at trading because she brought Callie and I back a whole bunch of cool stuff. We got bags, balls, big money and my favorite a pen. Our friend Jesse from a town close to Center Point is heading to National Jewish next week with his Mom. I am so excited for him to meet Beth Ann and all the staff there. Pray for him and his mom for safe travel and that the doctors will be able to help him like they did me. Jesse if you are reading this, make sure you tell them to show you where the prize closet is. :) Enjoy your time in Denver it is soo cool. I also got to meet my grandpa and grandma's new Shih Tzu puppies. There are 2 and they are both black and nameless at this time. I could only see them from a distance, but I know there is a boy and a girl. Suggestions welcome for names. Callie and I have been practicing our best Hanna Montana impressions. Our new favorite song is the best of both worlds. Matt spent part of his day at drivers ed learning how to drive. Matt has a new hair due that he has been working on, we can not always see his eyes, dad says he looks like the shaggy da. Have a great week, we will catch up with you again soon!!
