January 21, 2011: Good advice

Heaveno!

Thank you, anonymous commenter! I'm taking you up on your idea!

Saturday and Sundays are my lowest traffic days (I think a lot of you secretly read blogs at work! :-o). Anyhow, I am beat tonight, and I will say that I need some sleep.

I promise to blog tomorrow night... I have a feeling I'll have much to share... ;-)

God night.

Too many poses? DROPBOX is still downloading. That's the other thing about this camera. Files are so big! Hope you will have a few that can be used.
I'm off to teach Saturday school.

Enjoy a restful weekend! It is freezing here in NJ! My daughter is dying to visit CA and see some westcoast colleges...I don't want her a flight away though :( ...but a warm winter vacation sounds good right now!!

Glad you are taking some time for you...Donna

Glad you are taking a well deserved day off!!!

My question is:
Are you planning on a burial for Bella?

I hope that is appropriate.

LOL - you caught me - I'm a secret work blog reader! :)

Sadly, though, I work late at night a lot so I feel like it's not too bad to take a "Bella break" for a few minutes!

Hope you have a great weekend and am excited to see what you will be sharing with us!

Love from TX,
Laura (for Team A)

A Little About Bella And EB...

Anabella Ringgold was born on May 27, 2009 with a rare skin disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa, or EB. She had the rarest form, called Recessive Dystrophic, or RDEB for short. A single gene in her body responsible for making the anchor that hold her skin to her body was defective. This caused blisters and wounds to occur all over her body, including her mouth and entire GI tract. Any kind of friction, rubbing, bumping caused blisters to form, or it caused her skin to shear clean off. Life expectancy is under 20 years due to risk of malnutrition, infection, or squamous cell carcinoma. Although pain and discomfort was constant, Bella remained bright and cheerful, bless her heart. Though currently there is no cure for EB, Bella took place in a clinical trial at the U. of Minnesota where through Bone Marrow Transplantation, she grew her sister's skin on her body over time. Unfortunately, she died from complications of transplant on October 11, 2010. This is her story, and our story of how we cope as a family with the journey we are on together.
