Coburn Kids

Caden’s oxygen levels are still in the 30′s so good news, they were able to wean him off the Flolan medication by midnight as well. He’s not taking his feeds very well, they have him reduced to just 1 cc every 4 hours and he doesn’t seem to be digested even that much right now.

Adessa has her appointment with her cardiologist at the end of September up at Primary Children’s Hospital. And we have a special request from Genevieve and her kindergarten for everyone out there. Gena needs you to send postcards to her kindergarten class. Details below:

On October 3rd, we will be reading the story of the Gingerbread Man. We will make a gingerbread man in class and take it to the cafeteria to have baked. The gingerbread man is going to run away. We will look for him, but to help teach mapping skills, I’ll need your help. Please ask your relatives to send a short letter or postcard to our class. We’ll mark on the map the different places that the gingerbread man has been. Last year we had over a 100 postcards. Here’s an example:

Dear Mrs. Thayer’s class,
My name is Aunt Lou and I am Billy’s aunt. I live in Las Vegas and saw the gingerbread man at the Hard Rock Cafe. I tried to catch him, but he was too fast.

Love,
Aunt Lou

You can write the letters or postcards yourself or mail them to us using a different city or state. The children are delighted when they hear their names and exclaim, “I have an Aunt Lou in Las Vegas!”

Please mail to:

Mrs. Thayer’s Kindergarten Class (AM)
DayBreak Elementary
4544 W. Harvest Moon Drive
South Jordan, UT 84095

We’ll keep track of the gingerbread man until Nov. 15th, at which time he’ll return to our class.
