I'd like to teach the world to sing...remember that little jingle for Coca Cola? And all the people around the world were connected by holding on to the guy next to her....it went on and on and on. I remember it as a kid and we sang it, literally, around the campfire. Warm and cozy, friends grabbing on to friends...connecting, simply connecting.
 
Well tonight, I am wondering if you will it remember with me and literally hold out your hand in front of you...extend your palm. Smoosh as many good wishes as you can into your open palm...pull heart strings and good energy and the white light of love.
 
Now, this is the important part: with each of us extending at the same time, with all of our deepest, prayerful wishes...we are going to send this healing power that we have...to Miss Mimi who is in the hospital today. Mimi had a little difficulty breathing and decided to be all dramatic about it (you know how she is). I can't wait to hear her bitch about this post!
 
Mimi will be there a few days as she continues to try to get out of all the wrapping at Mimiland. Please send your comments to her here, but before you do...please take
one minute, put your hand in my hand and then extend your other hand and send that message of love and healing...Be Well Miss Mimi!!
 
Now THAT is perfect harmony!
thanks in advance!
mamie
 
I'd like to build the world a home
And furnish it with love
Grow apple trees and honey bees
And snow-white turtle doves

Chorus:
I'd like to teach the world to sing
In perfect harmony
I'd like to hold it in my arms
And keep it company
(That's the song I hear)
I'd like to see the world for once
(Let the world sing today)
All standing hand in hand
And hear them echo through the hills
For peace throughout the land
That's the song I hear
(That's the song I hear)
Let the world sing today
(Let the whole wide world keep singing)
A song of peace that echoes on
And never goes away

Put your hand in my hand
Let's begin today
Put your hand in my hand
Help me find a way

  • GrapeKoolaid said on Dec 19, 2007....
    Breathing difficulties...  Coming from a person who suffers from asthma and who also is a smoker(I know, bad grape...  blah blah blah), I know the terror you're going through firsthand.  It's like breathing through a flattened straw...  No day at the picnic, I can assure you. 

    Here's to hoping you'll make a fine and quick recovery and also hoping you'll be yelling, screaming and singing to your heart's content! 

    Get well soon, MissMimi.  Drop us a line soon.  :)

    Oh and Mamie, who is ever-so-thoughtful.  Mimi should consider herself fortunate to have such a friend. 
  • lioneljay said on Dec 19, 2007....
    Mimi, if you don't get well soon I'm going to personally come over there and flog you within an inch of your life. Wait a minute; that came out wrong. Within three or four inches just to be safe. You know, one ought to be safe about such things.

    Mimi I hope you can breathe easy soon. Merry Christmas. I hope that it is a happy, healthy New Year for you.

     

  • MindfulOne said on Dec 19, 2007....

    I think she just didn't want to bake all the goodies -- and this year I said I did want them!!  Thing is I'm not going to let her off the hook even if they become Valentine goodies. 

    Update:  I sent this out a little while ago.

    Hi all,
     
    I got a voice message from Mimi's daughter - unfortunately I wasn't here to talk with her but she is very upbeat about Mimi.  She said her mom looks good and is bored out of her mind.  Not surprisingly (and I figured it'd already be there) she heard the word WiFi and perked up even more.
     
    Tomorrow the goal is to move her out of ICU and into CCU - critical care unit - but she is stable.  No mention of when she'll be out but I won't be surprised if she doesn't get out of there Friday -- but that is only my guess.
     
    I think I'll call her husband a little later and see what he's thinking but wanted to get an update out as soon as possible.  I did pass along everyone's good wishes and love to her daughter and husband but don't be surprised if you see her on the 'net tomorrow! 
     
    I hope no one minds a BCC 'group' email, I just want everyone to get the info to you all quickly (I hope I've not missed someone).

    excellent! I am so happy to hear this! Thanks MO, you're alright, ya know, even if Mimi did have to get on your case for being a BoSox fan....:) love from Philly....
  • MindfulOne said on Dec 19, 2007....

    Another good update:

    Hi again,
     
    I just talked with Mr. Mimi.  She had a good visit with both kids and her mom.  The doctor said she does not have to be on the bi-pap continuously unless she feels the need.  I know that means a lot to her, she won't feel so restricted.
     
    He did say he'll bring the laptop in tomorrow.  I said I was surprised it wasn't there already - she's so bossy!  He didn't want anything to hinder her improvement.  He sounds a lot more relieved tonight than last night.  So the progress continues and they do hope to move her tomorrow -- sure hope that happens.
     
    I'll update again tomorrow with anything new -- or she may do it herself!  ;)
     
    C
     
    Infernal, you are most welcome.  I'm sorry it's necessary - hopefully she'll be able to get online soon.  I'm sure she'll have so many messages/emails/cards that it'll take her a day or two to go thru them all.
     
    Mamie - Mimi can on my case about the World Championship Boston Red Sox 'cuz she ain't got no comeback.  However she just recently was introduced to my twin - she's a mad-woman, totally obsessed and seriously demented with the Boston Celtics.  I think she's scared of me, uh I mean my twin. 
  • sweetsoul said on Dec 19, 2007....

    Update:

    I have talked with Mimi - she says hello and sends her thanks to all of you. 

     She was moved out of ICU to CCU (critical care unit) and sounds terrific.  She is bored out of her mind of course but she's unable to be online in her room/floor. 

    I asked about her discharge and she thinks Saturday at the earliest but the subject hasn't come up yet.   They are taking good care of her and she is being a very good patient.  ;)  Her breathing sounds much better from the last time we talked.  She sounds very relaxed and stress free - she deserves that!

    So it's just a matter of when she'll be home...

    Merry Christmas!
  • CreativeWoman said on Dec 20, 2007....

    She'll be resting at home -- doctors orders, not to mention a bunch of other people.
     
    I know she'll be here soon.
