List of stuff we need/would make life easier

You've asked for it, and now it's finally here. Here's a list of things that we either need or would like because they would make our lives much easier.

1. Prayer. That's the whole reason that Christopher is doing so well.
2. Gas cards/gas money to help us with all of the commutes (1-1.5 hour round trip to the hospital, and we make multiple trips per day)
3. Gift cards to restaurants around the Richmond Road, St. Joe East area so we can eat dinner or lunch between visits without going home or eating at the crampeteria
4. Diapers, preemie, newborn, or any size. We'll need them all and can exchange them for the right size if we have too many of one or the other
5. Dinners that can be frozen or reheated for when we may need them. It might be hard to coordinate people bringing over hot meals since our schedule will be so sporadic and we'll be spending so much time at the hospital.
6. People have expressed interest in mowing and cleaning. This would be great at some point because it would allow us to spend more time with Christopher. Our families did that this weekend, so if you're interested in that, call our contact person (see the end of this post) to leave your name. We'll call you if we need you.
7. If anyone has a small chest freezer that they aren't attached to, it would be great to have to hold all of this breastmilk and other meals that we're accumulating.
8. Any other regular baby things that people would like to help out with are on our registries at Babies 'r Us and Target.

Finally, we have a good friend that has volunteered to be our central point of contact for organizing food and other stuff getting to us, so that we can concentrate on other things. Her name is Ann Griesner, and you can contact her via email (I don't want to post her phone number all over the internet) at:

agreisner@alltel.net

You can also click the link on the right of this page. Of course, you are still welcome to call or email me for our address or anything else, but Ann is more organized and very entertaining. Thank you all so much for everything. We feel so loved and supported and your prayers and concern really, truly help. I hope that we have a chance to one day give back a tenth of the love that we have received already.
