****Thank you to Archer Printing for donating their time and materials to make our Chapter Labels.

A thank you note: On June 12, my 11-month-old son was admitted to Baptist Hospital PICU with a high fever and seizures. Since we had left the doctor's office and arrived at the hospital in such a rush, we didn't grab the comfort items, such as his PJs, toys or blanket. We only had a few diapers in his bag, a bottle and wipes.

After a very long day of tests and procedures, he was exhausted and so were we. We were in the PICU, getting him to settle down for the night, and the nurse brought us a blanket from Project Linus. I was already familiar with Project Linus, since I work for DHS here in Oklahoma. I know that many of the blankets that are made are shared with children who are in state custody.

As a parent, you never imagine your child will be in the intensive care unit, but I was so relieved and touched that someone was thinking about him. Receiving that blanket really brought it home for me, the work that your organization does and how it makes a difference to a child and to the child's family.

Fortunately, my son's condition was brought under control and he was discharged on June 14. He is again the happy and healthy baby we know, taking some medication for the short-term but he's expected to recover with no long-term problems. --Mary

Tasha,
I just wanted to write and share something with you. As you know my family (The Denmans) had a great opportunity to be a part of the Linus Project back in February. It was an experience that we wish to do again sometime and not to mention the we are excited about our Disney Tickets as well... :) Last week my 2 yr old nephew, Sebastian was rushed to Mercy Hospital after beginning to turn blue and was then transported by ambulance to Baptist Hospital where he spent 4 days in Ped ICU. After several hours of emotions and concern the doctors told us he had Juvenille Diabetes. During his stay he received a blanket and my brother happen to see the label on it and it said "Linus Project". Our hearts became overwhelmed with emotion as we now understand how the other side of the Linus Project works and how GRATEFUL we are for such a wonderful organization and to those who dedicate their time to help bring a SMILE to families in need. Thank you again for allowing us to have been a part of the Linus Project.
