Angelina Laurejandra Ramirez

A Mom in my local Moms Group lost her child last week. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.
Angelina was 16 months old. Her life ended when a TV fell on top of her. They were able to save her organs and donate them. A 10 month old baby received her heart and a 7 year old boy received her liver. And another recipient received both of her kidneys. A miracle has been able to happen out of this tragedy.
Angelina is survived by her parents, Jessie and Miguel and two siblings, Yesenia (5) and Elena (4). I can not even begin to imagine what they are going through right now.
Please say a little extra prayer for Elena, the 4 year old sibling. The accident happened on her 4th birthday. Angelina was rushed to the hospital and survived till the 10th. It was on that day that they feel they lost her, but the hospital kept her "alive" till the 12th so they could use her organs.
Donations to cover the cost of the funeral can be made today only by calling (tomorrow is the funeral)

Trip to the ER...

So I was cleaning the house up on Wednesday and I walked into my room and stepped on a loose part of my wicker laundry basket and it lodged INTO my foot...and oh boy did it hurt like crazy!!!!

So I tried to get it out and it wasn't budging...so I called David freaking out!!! He came home and by the time he got home it broke off...and after that, there was NO getting it out! So off to the ER we went!

I went to Rockwall Presby and I had the best experience!!! They were so nice and accomadating to us!!

The doc had to cut my foot a little bit to get to all of it so it's pretty sore today...and I took it easy last night but today I was back at getting all my laundry and house cleaned! LOL!!!

Here is a pic...please beware this pic may be a little graphic....
