I have this thing about convenience and when I came across this little hack for my blog template I had to check it out. It’s a “back to the top” button. The tutorial is easy enough to follow and there are 19 different buttons you can choose from…so it’s easy enough to customize the button to your liking and to your blog colors. The hardest part was finding the coding you need to find in your template to insert the html codes you are given, but if I were a tad bit smarter…I would have used a html editor to begin with and not until the very end. BEFORE YOU MODIFY YOUR TEMPLATE…MAKE SURE TO BACK IT UP!
Back to the Top Button
The html editor I use is: http://www.coffeecup.com/free-editor/ I find it simple to use. Open the program up, select new HTML page, copy and paste your template into that screen removing what’s on the page first, and then click the edit tab, select ‘find’…put in the code you are looking for and the code will be highlighted in the document.
Have fun…it works!

My son came home today. Thank you all for keeping him in your thoughts and prayers. Thank you again to those who helped me w/the giveaway. There has only been one other time I was ever so scared of losing him. That was back 27 yrs. ago, when he had his first brain surgery at 3 weeks of age, to remove the tumor which never was completely removed as he began to hemorrhage. He’s had many surgeries and illnesses over the years; but this one…this one was the utmost worst experience we’ve encountered. I wish I could save other families from ever going through what we just went through….but I can’t. I can only offer them support and will whenever I can. To put a face to the name you have all prayed for…I am changing my profile picture…the new picture is a pic of Ryan and I. It’s a picture that was printed in NH Disabilities Rights Center 1/4ly newsletter a couple years ago, when I did a interview for the newsletter 🙂
To give you an idea of what my Ryan is like when he’s feeling well:
Someone posted on my personal Facebook…
“so happy, I bet he is too.”
My response:
Happy isn’t the word…he’s a friggin’ pistol tonight! I have gotten more hugs, more kisses…more I O U’s (I love you) than one can count. I am surprised the whole city of Concord couldn’t hear him when he saw the van pull up to the entrance by the cafeteria…he was just roaring…:-)! I had the LNA give him a treat….a Devil Dog… just a couple minutes ago…he saw the package and began to say “umm umm umm umm umm” before the package was even open! He’s just too funny. This is cute…the Intensivist who discharged him was checking his vitals just before we left. He couldn’t grab her so he brings his arms into himself and goes ouuuuuuu…she thought she was hurting him…I told her no…he’s hugging you. She goes….”he’s a hoot!” Then he starts blowing her kisses. He certainly has his way of being known and remembered!
Chapter: Intubation for pneumonia…CLOSED!
Again, thank you for all your support!

I got a call this morning about 11am from the hospital. The nurse proceeds to tell me…Ryan was on the CPAP all morning and did real well so we are extubating Ryan ASAP! By the time I made it to the hospital the vent was out, nasal cannula in place, and he had his eyes open! He blew me a kiss and began to spell his name! When I left to come home to get my daughter (who couldn’t believe I didn’t pull her out of school for the event), I left him watching a Barney DVD and he was smiling and tried to laugh. Although he isn’t in the clear completely…this is a HUGE step in the right direction. Thank you all again…I am sure the thoughts and prayers sent our way…were all heard. Today has been one of the best days of my life!
