09/29/09 09:28 PM #1092     Pam Taber You guys are way too funny!! It is killing me that I may not make it to any of the reunion festivities in light of my little Maura being in the PICU. I know that sounds aweful but I was so looking forward to it and seeing all of you again. She is my priority though and I will be remaining in Boston as long as she is here. She is having a tough time weaning off of her cardiac medications for blood pressure support but her echocardiogram was good! She is breathing on her own but still intubated and on a ventilator for pressure support to her lungs due to a collapsed right upper lobe in her lungs. She is a feisty girl like her Mom and with time we believe she will pull through this. She also has pseudomonas in her sputum and requiring some potent anitibiotics to treat that aggresively! Appreciate all of your prayers and well wishes for her. I agree that Joe is very brave posting a party at his house after the reunion. That could prove to be very interesting and could result in less people showing up for brunch on Sun. due to hangovers. At our age those aren't so easy to recover from as they used to be!!! LOL Go class of 1979!!

09/29/09 09:37 PM #1093     Anne O'Shaughnessy (Suosso) Pam, My thoughts and prayers are with you. We will be thinking of you. Give Maura a big kiss and hug from the Class of 1979. All of our prayers are with you and your family. Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you. Love, Anne

09/29/09 09:50 PM #1094     Melissa Turner Oh My Dog, Pam. You and your girls like to keep things interesting. Of course you need to be where your baby is but she's obviously a fighter. Who knows what ten days will bring? Love to all three Taber girls!

09/29/09 11:04 PM #1095     Glenn Lianos Kevin...I agree graduation week is a blur... I do remember a party at Pam's...but not much else Sorry Diane..yes the Greek and Polish jokes abound...Karen that was directed at Laura and I not you don't worry...all I have to say is Tabernack! Pam...I hope that you make it too and that will mean little Maura is on the mend!! XO

09/29/09 11:31 PM #1096     Evelyn Gratton (Pepin) For Glenn and other poutine neophytes: http://www.hippopress.com/food/021031_poutine.html This article is a few years old but informative, nonetheless. Enjoy!

09/30/09 09:16 AM #1097     Karen Dobrowski (Hernandez) Man, the conversations get convoluted on this thing! Kind of like watching three tennis games at once! I remember one interesting graduation party at Rob's... Pam: How are YOU holding up? Don't forget to take good care of yourself, too... Maura needs her Mom more than ever now! Glad to hear she's making some headway and here's hoping she recovers quickly!! She sure does sound like a fighter, like Mom!

09/30/09 09:32 AM #1098     Glenn Lianos Very interesting Ev...now I feel educated! See in the end we all have common ground...Fries. We do the same thing with feta cheese but no gravy. We don't have a fancy name...we call them Feta Fries..who knew?

09/30/09 10:27 AM #1099     Kathleen Reaves I just got off the phone with Marc Biron...he is thinking of going...says Pouliot is too...asked him to bug Loos.

09/30/09 11:26 AM #1100     Joan Whitcomb (Pledger) I looked up poutine .I think I will order something else. Pam I also am rooting for your girl. What a lot to go through.Brave girl brave mom.will see you next week .Good thoughts And prayers to you and yuor Family.

09/30/09 11:33 AM #1101     Karen Dobrowski (Hernandez) I agree, Joni! Never appealed to me either!

09/30/09 11:46 AM #1102     Kathleen Reaves The nastiest thing abt poutine is that the cheese sqeeks on your teeth when you chew it. Think fingernails on a chalkboard in your mouth...it is NASTY.

09/30/09 12:04 PM #1103     Donna Keenan (Grady) Totally gross..think I will be sleeping in the next day.

09/30/09 12:10 PM #1104     Karen Dobrowski (Hernandez) Very descriptive, Kath!! I can almost feel it! Ick!

09/30/09 12:43 PM #1105     Linda Lemay (Wojceshonek) I love Poutin. But I see why people think it's gross. My thing is Crepe's. Go for that.

09/30/09 02:02 PM #1106     Laura Kohut (Douglass) In the old days I would say I'll party all night then go directly to brunch but those days are long gone! Melissa and I were talking about the fact that there is a pre-party, a party, and a post-party! We never had it this good back in '79 (though we sure tried). Pam, you will be there in spirit if not in person. We will all raise our glasses to you and shout "my glaaassss" in your honor, okay? I send you hugs and strength. I will remember my passport for the West side but will not partake in any cheese and gravy drenched teeth-itching fry concoction, thank you very much. Now vinegar fries.....that I could go for. Glenn, I must say you, of all people, pose the greatest danger to me as you hold a treasure trove of memories that should best be left unspoken. Remember playing colonel Puff Puff while drinking wine (whose apt. was that) and you rescued me from "the kitty place" and ever so gently dragged me down the stairs by my feet...bump bump bump....My hurts thinking about it. Oh, yeah, I could be in trouble if I don't stay on your good side! Melissa, I think every story we share is equally embarrasing for both of us so I feel safer. Of course, I don't remember everything.... Kevin- I'm with you. What did I do graduation week? Don't really remember too much but it must have been fun. Donna - I'll try to get the time to scan those photos from the Hawaii trip. I've been working 14 hour days right now with the hospital on overload (plus school). Really looking forward to the time off!

09/30/09 03:11 PM #1107     Evelyn Gratton (Pepin) Laura! You have us all intrigued now! :::note to self: ply glenn lianos with abundant drink to extract potentially embarrassing laura kohut anecdotes::: (Hmmm... Could it work the other way round? :::ply laura kohut with abundant drink to extract potentially embarrassing glenn lianos anecdotes:::) Man, this reunion will need to last more than 6 hours!

09/30/09 05:34 PM #1108     Melissa Turner Laura, Thank Dog for not remembering everything.

09/30/09 05:35 PM #1109     Melissa Turner Ev, Was this what Glenn meant when he posted "Still waters run deep"? It seems more like still waters runs a still. Remember to tip your cabbies everyone!

09/30/09 05:55 PM #1110     Evelyn Gratton (Pepin) ;-)

09/30/09 06:09 PM #1111     Colette Hebert (Lucas) Gee, I'm going to have to read a few old posts to figure out how poutine made its way into the conversation. Is that on the reunion menu? A much better French Canadian meal is Tourtiere (pork pie, sounds better in French) followed by Crepes - and lots of 'em. I remember a place on the west side that had meals like this. Does anyone remember the name of that resturant or know if it still exists? Near St. Patricks church (Does St. Patrick's still exist?)

09/30/09 06:58 PM #1112     Colette Hebert (Lucas) I just followed the poutine trail in old posts and found my restaurant answer. Chez Vachon! I would love to join you all sometime. Not for poutine.

09/30/09 08:53 PM #1113     Pam Taber Well you guys are once again too funny!! I remember hearing about the cat litter box and wasn't that at Debbie and Ernie's apt.??? Re: Poutine I had it in Canada but again not the most appealing to me either. Now crepes are a different story! Having a "AU BON PAIN" in the hospital is dangerous for me!! Just bought 4 chocolate covered coconut macaroons and chocolate dipped shortbread cookies!! I do share them with my ex though!!! Never eat like this but stress is a wonderful thing! Maura was not able to tolerate being taken off her breathing tube today which we were hoping for so that remains in. Her blood pressures are still needing cardiac medications to maintain her blood pressures too! The only progress today was having her foley catheter taken out as she is urinating effectively on her own. Frustrating but we need to go at Maura's pace and take one day at a time. Please pray that she turns some major corners soon so I can be there raising my glass soon with all of you on the 10'th and hopefully the 9'th too!! I am getting sleep and eating (not just sweets either!) as I know I can't be a effective advocate for Maura if I get sick too!! I am trying to stay positive but there are times it is all so overwhelming. Don't think all of this has fully hit me yet but when it does I am in for a good cry for sure! Take care and keep the upbeat bantering and threats going as it does bring a smile to my otherwise long, stressful day!!

09/30/09 08:59 PM #1114     Michelle Tanguay (Considine) How wonderful to hear from you again, Pam. You're doing things correctly...one day at a time. Be assured that you're being prayed for daily. I hope Maura will improve enough for you to be able to join us. Let me know if you need anything or if I can be of help with Emily. Don't forget to get some rest!

09/30/09 09:11 PM #1115     Joseph Senecal 50 Maple Farm Rd. Auburn. It's about ten minutes from SNHU

09/30/09 10:26 PM #1116     Evelyn Gratton (Pepin) Hey, Collette! Yes, Chez Vachon is still there on Kelley Street. Sadly, St Pat's has closed, although the church, rectory, and school buildings are still there. I'm not sure what organization occupies them now.
