Community Heroes is what it's about.
Fresno Heart and Surgical Hospital (FHSH) is hosting a pilot for a Community Medical Center's Foundation program that will allow grateful patients to recognize staff and physicians for awesome care received and provided day in and day out. The patient is given an opportunity to make a donation, name an individual(s), and that person(s) can be formally recognized as a Community Hero, and ultimately have a very special lapel pin awarded to them to proudly display that symbolizes the heart of caring.

She is "okay" for now....

...last week my family traveled to Stanford University. The appointment was an assessment of our 10 month old grand-daughter, to determine the status of her kidney dysplasia (cysts in both of her kidneys). After some analysis, the conclusion is that she is okay for now and will undergo check-ups, lab work, and ultrasounds on a periodic basis.

It Has To Be His Idea

Last Saturday we hosted our grandson's 2 year birthday party. What a blast...bounce house all all the festivities, friends and family. My son arranged for a bounce house thinking that his own son would be the first to run in to it and thoroughly enjoy, right? Nope!

Pretty much the entire time, he didn't want to have anything to do with that thing even though most of the kids attending were enjoying it (even some of the adults-hehe)....until, it was his idea.

"He Should be Eating More Vegetables!"

This was the admonition from the Pediatrician today when our son took #1 grandchild in for a routine check-up. He's 95th percentile in heigth but only 25th for weight. The trouble is, how do you get a 2 year old to eat their veges? I suppose we could drizzle some milk chocolate sauce on them. I did purchase a juicer as a gift for their family and encouraged them to try juicing some veges/fruit mixtures and have him drink his veges...we'll see.
