How Can You Help?

Children's Hospital, December 10, 2009

Week Six in the ICU

 For those of you who have asked "How can I help?" First of all, we would appreciate your prayers for Joey and our family. Please pray for Joey's healing and for God's wisdom for his doctors and specialists so that we may one day have an answer. Secondly, a fund has been set up for Joey to help offset his ongoing & increasing medical bills, medications and eqiupment needs.  

Donations to Joey's Medical Fund can be made at any Wachovia Branch or via PayPal.  The name of Joey's account is JOSEPH PAULIN MEDICAL FUND.
Thank you so very much for your donations - they mean more to us then you will ever know, as do your thoughts and prayers.

Finally....summertime!  Gia wasted no time in all making plans for her summer.  Thanks to my longtime friend from childhood, Jennifer, and her husband....Gia was flown out to California for an entire month!  She left on June 9 and will return on July 4.  This is the longest we've been apart and I miss her so much.  Gia is having a wonderful time and its nice to hear how relaxed she sounds when she calls me each day.  If anyone deserves a vacation its that child - she has been through so much.

Joey has been a busy little guy as well.  Just three days after being discharged from the hospital earlier this month, Joey became the youngest person to graduate from the Alabama Fire College.  Joey was part of the 2010 graduating class in a beautiful ceremony on June 4.  He received an official badge, Certificate and a t-shirt designed by the other graduating recruits.  After a beautiful speech by one of the instructors at the college, Joey received a standing ovation.   Many of the guys from the Alabaster Fire & Rescue Service were there to see Joey receive this amazing honor.  Joey is now Alabama's Littlest Firefighter!  Click on the photo above to read the article in our local paper.

On September 12, 2005, I created a CaringBridge web page for Joey.  I update this site once a day and it is a great way for everyone to keep up with Joey's latest accomplishments, setbacks, hospital stays, or just our everyday adventures.  There is a guestbook so you can leave a message for my little guy too!

Thank you so much for stopping by and we hope you return again soon.
 
Roseanna, Gia & Joey
