How crazy. I never knew this and then someone mentioned this to me at work and then I read it on your blog. Life is funny sometimes.<br /><br />I think it is great you found something that will relax your mom enough to help her breathing. <br /><br />I want an iPhone so badly, I can taste it. One of these days. I wish Verizon had the iPhone.thotladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06877043721001181462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655693006167609215.post-81112433860813561462010-06-06T13:16:56.698-05:002010-06-06T13:16:56.698-05:00Yeah that is a great idea with the iphone - well d...Yeah that is a great idea with the iphone - well done.

But that's not always readily available. I don't remember how I found out Mom loved to delete pictures but reaching for the phone was an act of desperation - looking wildly around the room for something to distract her during a breathing episode.BetteJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11650981249204116251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655693006167609215.post-40789090715391758502010-06-03T13:54:31.485-05:002010-06-03T13:54:31.485-05:00Can I just say how much I love your iPhone story? ...Can I just say how much I love your iPhone story? That thing can do anything! Even save lives.<br /><br />I understand the reason behind it. When I think about breathing, I can't do it. Distraction helps. <br /><br />I think you're handling all of this with strength and grace. Nobody could ask more from you.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09957726053340813209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655693006167609215.post-70542470855147631212010-06-03T12:45:17.394-05:002010-06-03T12:45:17.394-05:00If that's what makes her happy, keep taking th...If that's what makes her happy, keep taking those pictures :)Teena in Torontohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14875608173791872449noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655693006167609215.post-10404430971543607232010-06-03T09:01:24.768-05:002010-06-03T09:01:24.768-05:00You smart cookie you !!
