Online snafus
Just a quick note ... it's one thing after another here; what a trip. I tried to pay my bills online earlier just to discover that my online accounts do not like the fact that I am logging in from a different computer and ISP from what they are used to and my access has been denied. I could have obtained a new access code to plug in if I was home, but what is the point of using a laptop computer to log into my accounts while I am away from ... duh ... I am away from home and hence not next to my telephone. It could have also been done through email, but I inadvertently missed that particular account when I changed our email address when we got Verizon DSL a few months back. Oh well.
Now I just tried to switch Gary's airline ticket ... he has decided to stay due to so many complications here ... we both feel it's better if we stick together, as usual, and handle this situation. I'm relieved that he has come to the decision to stay! I'm not sure I would have held up under all the stress [laughing]. We have tackled everything together for 22 years now and why should we change now ... we are a great team! Anyway, I'm not sure I was successful online changing his flight. I have yet to find someone who can help me get an outside line on the telephone so that I can call United to make sure it went through. What fun! I had to email Marci and ask her to handle it ... so much cannot be done while in a foreign country. A lesson to be learned

I am with Rochelle, Marcie is always welcome here. Tell her if she needs anything to just call us. I wish you all the best of love. Rochelle has set it up for me so all I have to do is click one button and I can see what is going on with all of you. All though I never came up a lot, I found it hard to see Shawna like that, she is still my favorit step daughter. I look forward to seeing her come to our house again. We still have the picture of all of them eating snowballs in our kitchen, I look at it often. Every time I go around that turn at night coming home from work I think Shawna has taught me something. Slow down. You Gary and as you call him, little Gary, be stroung because there are people in this country and that country that love your family and wish you all the best. I would love to go to that country and meet these great doctors and nurses. Again, wish you all the best, and tell Marci if she needs someone to talk to, to just call Rochelle because she will be there for her.

Dear Lorraine, I am sorry I didn't realise that would be a problem in the hospital to find someone who can help you get an outside line on the telephone.I will go to the hospital to see shawna in the morning and make the telephone in your room working.
You may also download the free programme "VIOPSTUNT" or "SKYPE" on the Internet. then you would be able to call anybody's landline and cellphone at a low fee or for free with your microphone and speaker(or headset).
Here are the websites:

I wish the information would help a little. and if there is anything I can do for you please don't hesitate to contact me. That would make me so very happy to be able to help.
Shawna and all of your families are in a great many people's thoughts and prayers. Let's see Shawna will get much better in the near future.
God bless Shawna, you and all your families.
Your Chinese friend,
Gao Yan
