Hi All!
I went to visit the Baker's today. Everyone is doing great. Stuart still has pain and a lot more healing to do, but overall he has an excellent attitude. Monica is doing wonderful and looks great! Brayden, well, he's just the cutest little man.
Monica and Stuart would like to express their gratitude and appreciation for all the help and support they have received. They are starting to form a routine and things seem to be running smoothly. The meal serve to the Baker's is ending this week on Weds. per their request. They have expressed numerous times how awesome it has been and what a great help it was.
So with that said... I am going to end this blog. I thought it was an easy way for us all to know what it going on and to keep everyone updated.
Have a great day!
Linda

I went to visit Monica and family today. Brayden is doing awesome. He does have jaundice but that is improving everyday. His levels keep getting lower, and that's good thing. Monica looks awesome. Stuart is doing fine. He should be having surgery this Weds. on his wrist, which is a good thing. He is healing slowly, but coming along. The Baker family is doing well. Monica's mother has been staying with them this week to assist Monica and Stuart.

Colleen will be making the Baker's dinner. Colleen will be sending over Tbone steak and potatoes.
Just another Friendly reminder
If possible, please do not send items in containers that you expect back. The Dollar Store has aluminum containers and other containers that are cheap that would be great to use. It's just one less thing for Monica and Stuart to have to worry about.

Just a Friendly Reminder
Hi All!
Just a friendly reminder. Please call Monica and make arrangements with her if your going to stop by to drop off a meal. If she does not answer the phone when you call, please just leave a message and she will call you back. Sometimes she cannot answer as she is taking care of Stuart, or she may not be home. I know they have upcoming appointments this week and it may be a little hectic in the Baker household.
Also, if you plan on making Monica a meal can you please just let me know. I am keeping a running calender and it would be best not to have 2 people cook for them on the same day.
Thanks again for all your help and concern. Monica and Stuart have expressed their gratitude and really appreciate all the support being offered.

I had a visit
I was able to visit with Monica for a little bit today. She looks fabulous! She is a bit tired as she is now nurse Baker to Stuart. Stuart is recovering slowly and is in a lot of pain. Stuart has been sleeping a lot as his body is trying to heal and rest. Plus those good pain meds! Their spirits seem bright even though their facing some challenges.

A new blog site to get updates and stay in touch about Monica!
Hi All!
I am just trying to create a single location where we can get updates and share information about the Baker's. The purpose of this is so we can be connected and on the same page.
Everyone has been asking what they can do to help, and here's some things!
First, Monica, as you all know, is ready to give birth anyday now. So to ease her last days before giving birth, I was hoping some of you would like to participate in making meals for Monica and Stuart. Monica has to care for Stuart since he has come home. He is still in bad shape with broken bones and massive pain. Monica has a lot on her plate and one of the simple things I thought we could do is to provide her and Stuart some meals. So the idea is we could use this blog space to list the day you would like to make Monica a meal this way no 2 people are making a meal on the same day. I advised Monica we are doing this, at first, she was hesitant, but she finally accepted. So if you could list your name and the day and date you would like to make her something, that would be awesome. Also, if you could go one step further and maybe list what you are going to make her or what you intend to make, so the next person could provide her something different? Monica and Stuart will be grateful for anything they get.
I also spoke to Monica and asked her ideas on delivery options of the foods. Since it's a trying time for Monica and Stuart, it was agreed that I could drop off the meal to them, or the person making the meal could drop it off and go. We ask that the person dropping off the meal respect their privacy and not expect to visit with them. Stuart is taking plenty of pain pills and Monica has been getting extremely tired.
The other idea is to collect monies for maid service for the Baker's. I will put a manila envelope in Dispatch between stations 1 and 3. Contribute if you would like. The monies would be given to Monica so she can have Merry Maids come in and clean once she has the baby. Monica was relying on Stuart to help with cleaning the house, but since he was involved in his accident, that's not going to happen!
