[badrhinogillett]

Cindy's two ghans from her picture arrived today. The pink one is so soft - it feels like petting a bunny! The blue one is perfect for a larger baby and is so bright and cheerful!

Kathryn,

Thank you for your kind words about my RRs. I just want to thank you again for all your wonderful work for these precious babies. It is truly a labor of love.

I am just seeing this post and live near Children's. I am also a pediatric nurse and know how we love to be able to give momentos like this to patients.

 

Is there a specific size that you would like? There are so many pages in this post that I wasn't sure where to find out the info. I don't have a lot of extra time but I would love to help out if I can.

[badrhinogillett]

Thank you so much! I can use all sizes - from something for an extreme preemie up to something that could be used be used for a year old child. Any size would be greatly appreciated!

Kathryn,

 

I'm just wondering what your totals are to-date on how many blankets you have received? I would love to hear how it's going.

[badrhinogillett]

Your 2 blankets brought us up to 157 blankets!!!! There are some hats and booties, but I dont' remember those numbers. I have them listed at home.

 

Isn't it amazing!

 

Thank you eeryone!!!

I am still working on 3, that should bring my total to 12 or so. Once I finish the 3, I will pack them all up and send them out to you.

Thank you Jennifer!!!

I got a lovely surprise when I came home today. A box from Truckin Patty! And, look what was inside - two beauties. The yellow ghan has lovely little popcorn stitches in it (Patty is brave - I avoid popcorns! ) and the blue is oh so soft. Aren't they lovely?!

[badrhinogillett]

Belinda (Stargazerlily) sent these lovely ghans. The blue one is folded in half. It's big enough to wrap up the largest baby that the NICU can hold - or to be a lovely reminder for years to come for a small baby of all the love that got them through their ordeal.

 

The colors on the starghan are so prety - and they remind me of sherbert. And there is a pretty sparkle on the RR that is entwined with the yarn. Aren't these lovely?

[Startigerlily]

Thank you Kathryn. It's wonderful of you to devote your time to this cause.

Hey K

Look for another box to come your way.

[badrhinogillett]

Thank you Meegan, I'll let you know when it arrives!

[mommy2jj3604]

I want to help but how much time do I have before they have to be to you? I think this is wonderful what your doing :manyheart

[badrhinogillett]

Thank you Jenni - I don't have a delivery date yet, but will be going down the last week of Nov, or first week of Dec. If you can get something here by Nov 23 I can take it with me. Otherwise, it can be our first afghan for the 2010 drive!

[badrhinogillett]

Box #3 arrived from Meegan (Mattsmom) today. It contained 8 more ghans - bringing her grand total up to 26 afghans for the babies!

 

I love the color combinations on the RR's. They are all so pretty. Plus, there is a Pentagon Ghan down in the front of the picture.

[mattsmom499]

Glad I could help. I will continue to contrubute in 2010

I have one going to you this weekend. The one I mentioned earlier in the year is in storage. If I get it out in time before your delivery you will get it.. or it will be for next year.

[badrhinogillett]

Thank you Jessica!

[moosetracks03]

Sending a box your way tomorrow or the next day! They've been done for a while but I got swamped with mid-terms and didn't get a chance to send it out sooner. Sorry! I hope they get there in time.

[badrhinogillett]

They'll get here no problem! I still need to call for my date to drive down to the hospital, but I"m planning on the week after Thanksgiving.

 

I'll let you know as soon as they arrive. Thanks.

[tris4crochet]

mailed a box with 8 blankets in there for ya... pm you the dc #

[badrhinogillett]

Thank you! I'll let you know when they get here.

[jenniferelyse74]

I have washed and dried all my blankies and packaged them up. I was going to call it quits but the box is not quite full. I will try to finish up three I have in progress to fill up the box. I am setting a mailing deadline of Nov 15 (a payday) to ensure they will get there by Thanksgiving. Currently there are 12 in the box.

 

I will definitely be participating next year, too.
