I love it when we can do something possitive in the Blogsphere:

At the time of this writing, $1,636.00 in donations have poured in. This level of support is overwhelming and I am truly thankful for it. A few purchases have been made with your gracious donations. The priority one purchase was obviously the hotel room; that authorization is pending with a price tag of $130.59. Priority number two was making sure enough supplies could be acquired to sustain a much smaller than expected child. Yesterday, before I went to the hospital, I picked up a Sam's Club/Wal-Mart gift card in the amount of $300.00 but thanks to two ATM fees (one from the ATM and one from PayPal) the total transaction amount came to $302.40. The last purchase I made was a small bouquet of pink and purple (her favorite colors from what I gathered) flowers from the hospital gift shop for her room that she just moved into. The bouquet was quite inexpensive given its quality and I'm sure it brightened her day a little, which is well worth $27.69. When you tack on $60.36 of PayPal fees then you're left with $1,115.96.

I wrote about this the other day, and hope that some of you guys made the jump to Chris's blog and helped out. To all those who did, thank you. Sometimes it is just good to put the politics aside and try and help someone.
