Only Because You've Been Asking...

Thanks to everyone who's gotten in touch with us to ask what Little Pom needs at the moment. We are filled to the brim with toys, games, cards, flowers & balloons and he sends a big THANK YOU to everyone who's been so thoughtful in the past few weeks. Most of the furniture/bedding needs have also been met, so we're good there as well. So, for those of you still wondering how you can be of help, there are two ways:

1) Little Pom's dietician turned us on to this stuff called Dairy Delicious (www.dairydelicious). It's kidney-friendly dairy products & LP is in love with their milk & their cheese sauce. He's been so happy here because he's been able to have mac & cheese, nachos and milk to drink again. It's hard to find, although it can be ordered through the company; so we're kinda asking that anyone who's wanting to help us out either order LP some Dairy Delicious products or else contribute $ towards our own orders so we can order more at once & save on shipping. It's roughly $25-30 for either a case of their milk cartons or a case of their cheese sauce cups. Personally, I think their mac & cheese is overpriced & would rather have more of the sauce cups that I can just add to plain pasta.

2) If you have type A or O blood and would like to learn more about the opportunity to be a living kidney donor, let me know and I'll send you the information. We had our meeting with the pre-transplant coordinator today and they can officially start screening candidates for LP's eventual (hopefully sooner rather than later!) transplant.

So there you have it, LP's two needs at the moment: dairy products and organs, LOL.

Daddy says I HAVE to post here (against my better judgement) that I've missed 3 weeks of work & we've been paying tons of $$ in gas going to and from the hospital, as well as meals here, etc. Currently our home phone & internet as well as *my* cell phone is shut off. We can live without any of it, of course, but if anyone would like to contribute to a "Getting the Pomegranate Family Back on Track" fund, Daddy says he wouldn't turn you away, LOL.

But as for me and my Little Pom: Dairy Delicious & a Kidney is all we need. :-)

Thanks everyone, for everything. Really.
