DON’T FALL!
DON’T FALL!
If she’s the one who can’t deal with germs, how come we have to wear the masks and gloves!?!?! (We warn you in advance, this may not be as funny for you as it is for us; could be because we’ve been re-breathing our own carbon dioxide for over an hour.)
Erica, Marta, Carol and Katrina here; We’re visiting Elizabeth in the AAM Suite (All About Me). In 20 hours, she’s managed to squirrel away milk, peaches, some yoghurt and THREE Stewarts Black Cherry Sodas…and she has an order in for some Ben & Jerry’s (the fridge has a tiny freezer). And do you know she gets room service here? With sirloin beef tips? And Texas French Toast with real maple syrup? And (someone hold Dad back) ice cream sodas?! To which Carol says, “Are you limited to 3 meals a day?”
So Elizabeth just gave Erica this huge Cheshire cat grin and Erica returned it…except you couldn’t see it through the mask. So Erica told her, “I know you can’t see it, but I swear I’m smiling!!”….10 minute later we had this:
Not to be confused with this:
At this time, we’d like to give a couple of shout-outs to some special people; First off, to Pastor. Elizabeth wants to make sure that everyone appreciates his unique humor. (Ian can you pass me the milk?) Next, we’d like to recognize Katie, the nurse on duty who brought us a red Sharpie and some extra masks. We like Katie; she’s like an honorary sister—like it or not. (She also took our picture.) Finally, a shout out to an Overachieving Hallmark Supporter; Elizabeth received her first funny get-well card today from Caroline McDonough. So get with the program people; right now, Elizabeth has a bulletin board with 1 card, 8 push-pins and 2 lips-embellished face masks…frankly, it’s a little off-putting.
Okay, now we have to go; Carol has the smallest bladder known to man, and we aren’t allowed to use Elizabeth’s bathroom….so before she pops and causes a sanitary crisis, we need to stop laughing and get her to a public toilette. Leave some love.
FROM ELIZABETH:
In case you're curious, the other two face masks are located on my mini-fridge and one on my nurse’s board.

german club wishes you both the best, and of course your ever faithful minions from the youth group miss you terribly =]
Magnet-man was at church today, and was bombarded with such questions as "can you still fart even though your intestins are two inches shorter?"

Hey Liz and the sisters,
you look great on the picture. It is so cute, I have to send it to my parents. do well in the hospital, get the best food and make the nurses and doctors just run around you. and thanks for your mail for those poor people that have to study.
I am so tired of studing because doing 2schools together "stupid me" and still did not learn how to study". so take care and get well. we think about you and pray that you will get healthy. love Lucia and the Ligas family.
Hey Liz,
You and all the Bauerlein sisters make my day!! Love your sense of humor. So your nurse is silly enough to be a Bauerlein girl -- good for her. Keep blogging, you make my day.
Love, Aunt Millie SC
The Sisterhood of the Traveling Masks. Good to see you're in such great company. I'm not sure how that photo can be topped.
Y'all make it VERY hard to inspire or console when we're laughing so hard and can't possibly top the humor. I said it before...if laughter's the best medicine you're well on your way to good health. Sounds like the hospital and staff are also a good match for the Bauerlein invasion...and the sunshine and good vibes you bring with you will be a blessing to them as well. You were all so much in our hearts, minds and prayers at Grace this morning, and shall be continuously in the days ahead.

Lizzy!!!!! Hmmm... awfully confused about the food situation there... is it possible they're trying to distract you from the pains of illness with decent food? :-)) Mmmmmm. Good luck with everything!!
Lots of love,
