Out for a Walk
The other day Danny and I took Cohen out for a walk around the neighborhood. I am trying to get outside when I can to see the light of day and get out of the house. The fresh air is good for us. Cohen got this fuzzy blue bear suit from one of the showers and I have been anxiously waiting to put him in and this seemed like the perfect opportunity. He looked so cute in it. He slept the entire walk and for probably an hour and a half after. Isn't he the cutest?

He is pretty cute!! I have been trying to take Jordan out for walks too! We both need it. Maybe we can get together next week for a mid morning stroll! We can walk through the "woods"
ReplyDeleteYes he is very cute!

I have a rather mundane question, but what sort of oxygen canister do you have? I have ones that look like missiles (or torpedoes) and I haul one behind us in a little metal contraption on wheels. In the car I stuff it standing up next to Malcolm's legs. It is NOT small and not particularly portable. Am I missing something? I see elderly people out with these nice compact little O2 setups. What do you use? How long do they last? P.s. He looks adorable and snugly.
ReplyDeleteWe have 3 different sizes of oxygen. We have a HUGE one that sits in his room and doesn't go anywhere. We also have a medium sized one that sounds like the ones you are talking about, fits in the little thing on wheels. Then we also have little ones that fit in a little bag that we carry around or put under his stroller. The littlest ones last about 7 or 8 hours (he is on .25 L) and those are the ones that we take to Doctors visits or when we are out and about. We keep an extra in both cars just in case. I don't know what we would do if we had to haul around one of the big ones!! I can't even imagine doing that...We get our oxygen delivered through Walgreens Optioncare in Bham. Is that who you use?
ReplyDeleteHi, My name is Ron Tranmer.
ReplyDeleteI hope you won't mind my intrusion on your wonderful site. It came to my attention when you posted my poem, Broken Chain". We lost a grandson who was 2 months old, and can relate to your grief. I have written several poems about the loss of a child. May I share a few with you?

Heaven’s Rocking Chair
by Ron Tranmer ©
Are there rocking chairs in Heaven
where little babies go?
Do the angels hold you closely
and rock you to and fro?
Do they talk silly baby talk
to get a smile or two,
and sing the sleepy lullabies
I used to sing to you?
My heart is aching for you,
my angel child so dear.
You brought such joy into my life,
the short time you were here.
I know you’re in a happy place,
and in God’s loving care.
I dream each night I’m rocking you
in Heaven’s rocking chair.

If Only

If only, my child, I could send,
A basket filled with love,
And pretty blue forget-me-not’s
To your new home above.
If only I could send a hug
Past every twinkling star,
And a suitcase filled with kisses
Up to heaven where you are.
If only I could rock you
As I did not long ago,
And sing you one more lullaby
Before you had to go.
If only’s fill my every thoughts
As my heart is aching for you.
With faith, I’ll wait until the time
“If only’s” all come true.

Teardrops
Teardrops are falling. We’re saddened this day
A sweet little baby has just passed away.
For such a short time, we were blessed with the love
of our sweet little angel from heaven above.
Our family is grieving .We weep, and we pray,
In our hearts we know why you couldn’t stay.
A spirit so special, so perfect, and pure,
should not have the trials of this life to endure.
Although our grief is so hard to bear,
we know you are happy in Heaven somewhere.
You have overcome death. You’re spirit lives on.
You’re a part of us still even though you have gone.
Know that we love you our dear little one.
We’ll join you in time when our life here is done
Save us a place where we’ll be close to you,
and in joy we’ll embrace, as our love we renew.

There’s Nothing
by Ron Tranmer ©
There’s nothing in this world
that brings such happiness,
as that of a dear sweet child,
to hold, love, and caress.
As one comes into our family
there is no greater joy.
It matters not the gender,
baby girl or baby boy.
There’s nothing in this world
that brings such heartfelt sorrow,
as to have them in your life one day
and find them gone tomorrow.
At the loss of a little child
we must have faith, love, and trust
in God, our Heavenly Father,
who gave the child to us.
Love for the gift He gave us.
Trust in His wisdom divine,
and faith we’ll hold our child again
in a better place, at a better tim

In Your Arms Again
by Ron Tranmer ©
I sent a little child to you
from heaven here above.
He’s so special I chose you
because of your great love.
You cared for him and loved him
with a love much like my own.
and now your heart is breaking
because I’ve called him home.
Special spirits sent to earth
are so perfect and so pure,
trials and pain and suffering,
are not theirs to endure.
I lent him to you for a time
and you fulfilled your part.
If you will put all faith in me
I’ll mend your broken heart.
He’s here with Me, and waiting
for the day I call your name.
For when, in time, I call for you
he’ll be in your arms again.

ReplyDeleteAngel’s Call
by Ron Tranmer ©
An angel in a robe of white
came to me as I slept last night.
She smiled and whispered in my ear,
“It’s time for you to come, my dear.”
“ Though time was short since you were born,
you’ve earned the crown without the thorns.
God knows the sweetness of your soul.
Your spirit and heart are pure and whole”
I asked if I could say goodbye,
to Mom and Dad who were nearby.
The angel smiled, and said with a nod,
“I’m sure that will be ok with God.”
Did you feel my kiss goodbye,
and the tears that fell from my eyes?
Have trust in God, though I must go.
Just like me, He loves you so.
He will comfort, and hold your hand,
and help you so you’ll understand.
And when your heavenly call comes too,
with outstretched arms I’ll come to you.

He Took My Little Hand
by Ron Tranmer ©
God gently called my name
As He took my little hand.
He knew hearts would be broken,
But hopes you’ll understand.
For when He takes a child home
He chooses each with care.
He needs the best of children
To be special angels there.
We watch over our dear family
From Heaven up above.
That’s why you, left behind,
Still feel our tender love.
My love is all around you.
Allow your hearts to mend.
In time He'll call your name
And we'll be together again.

I'm so sorry for your loss, but can tell from your site that you are a close family with faith and love for God and His Son, and know you will hold your little son again.
Merry Christmas,
