Happy holidays! I'm Jennifer. I'm 27 years old. I hail from Southern California, the land of warmth, though you wouldn't know that by today. It looks pretty rainy out there. I have to be honest: I wish it wasn't holiday time. I see the holiday decorations and hear the music at work, the Christmas lights on the houses, but it hasn't sunk in. My mom was taken to the hospital ten days ago because she was showing similar symptoms to the ones I had seen when she had had a heart attack seven years ago. It turns out that she has a high CO2 level. She's doing better now, but the doctors do not know when she can come home. She might even be in the hospital after Christmas and New Years. I've devoted my time to work and to her. Even at the expense of my own emotions. I'm kind of ignoring them because I cannot adequately deal with them right now. We're doing the best we can with what we have.

Thank you for this. &hearts I can be reached at: writerfangirl @ gmail.com

Holiday Wishes

1. Surprise me. For my mom. She's very bored in the hospital. Whatever you think would help would be great. :)

2. The Champions Set 1 for my dad.

3Gift cards (Target, iTunes, and Bath & Body Works)

4. Single recipes and cookbooks (particularly with a low fat, low sugar, vegetarian variety, but I'd take anything. I want to start a regiment for losing weight and my mom now needs to keep to a diabetic diet for her health.)

5. Buy something from the Band From TV store and share it with someone you love or keep it for yourself. All proceeds will go to the charities that the band members support. :)

6. Dance Dance Revolution (I fell in love with this game when I first played it last December. It's amazing! And I think it would greatly help me with losing weight. I love to dance and move.)

7. Journals and writing implements (I collect and use both. Any sort of journal. Used or not. I love them all.)

8. A wireless laptop with Windows XP (Even would love a EEE. I really don't care what brand it is, just as long as I can go online with it and it has word processing.)

9. A better job (Currently I am working at Borders, which is great, but it isn't who I am. I have a BA in Creative Writing, which I was putting to good use as a writing tutor at a community college from 04-07, but then my contract expired and could not be renewed per state mandate. I would like to be a writing tutor at another school, or an academic adviser. I have a great love for college and I want to share this love with others to help them see how talented they are and how much they have to offer the world.)

10. Any clipping or magazine related to the NBC show Heroes (I love this show so much and I'm trying to collect most of the articles that are out there about it.)

Many thanks again.

I can do 10 (I think, I know I have some heroes clippings or articles around), 3 (itunes giftcard), 7 possibly and 1 for your mom. I'm so sorry, my dad was in the hospital last year around this time, he had to have a triple bypass, so I know what it's like spending most of your time at the hospital.

Thank you very much! :D *hugs*

It's very hard having a family member in the hospital during the holidays. My mom was at the same hospital she is at now during Thanksgiving seven years ago, after her heart attack. This time around is very reminiscent of then, too. How is your father?

He's acutually doing really well now or I mean as well as he could be, it was hard since the hospital we normally use couldn't figure out what was wrong with him for months and then they transfered him to a different hospital and they immediately figured out what was wrong, they gave him a 10% chance of survival, but he pulled through, which was like a breath of releif and now he's doing as well as he could be doing, he still needs to take medication, but other than that, he's had no other problems

I have a Entertainment weekly magazine about the show called "Fallen Heroes" I can send it your way. But it will have to be after the holidays. Is that okay with you?

I am currently living with my friend who both her parents have diabetes. I did not know how serious the illness was until her father's blood sugar dropped to 29 and he almost went into a diabetic coma.

So she is trying to cook healther for them I'll ask her and maybe she can give me a few of her favourites and I'll e-mail it to you :)

That's fine! :D Thank you!

It's the same for both types of diabetes? My mom's goes pretty high, especially right now with the medication she's on. It pushes over 400. :(

Thank you for the recipes too!
