Helpful Things

Lots of people have asked us what they can do to help out during the time of Aiden's Implant surgery, turn-on, therapy, etc. We really, really appreciate those offers of help. And, this is where we're going to do something about them!! When Aiden was in the NICU, lots of people offered help, and we (in some part) were a bit to overwhelmed to even know what would be helpful.

I read an article, after Aiden was discharged, that I wish I had read earlier. This article said that, if people are offering to do thing for you, make a list available to them of things that would be helpful. That way, people can look at the list and pick something that they might like to contribute.

So, here's my list!! Okay, so it's just one thing right now - but I'll keep thinking and add to it :>

1. We do a lot of driving, whether it's back and forth between Ottawa and Belleville, or to and from CHEO and my parent's house. One of my "driving treats" is a Starbucks Coffee. Actually, lately it's a "tall, soy, no-whip mocha". Anyway, I have a Starbucks Gift Card that can be "loaded" by anyone online at any time. So, if you want to buy me a coffee for the road, just go to www.starbucks.com/card. They will tell you what to do. My card number is: 6028 3791 3850 2933. Thanks!
