Well howard found a way that will get you in the holiday spirit. Check it out. Were just getting rid of the last of our thanksgiving leftovers and like magic. Everywhere we look, all we see is the red and the green, and the sparkle of christmas. And with christmas less than a month away i thought id share an idea that you may want to try out in the next week or so that would be perfect for christmas morning. Its a spinoff on my favorite, red velvet cake. We start out by mixing a few dry ingredients together some pancake mix, cocoa powder, and a bit of sugar. To that we add some milk, a couple of eggs, vanilla and a splash of red food color. After we mix that up and the batter is nice and smooth, we pour it onto a hot griddle, or skillet, and make them like we would any other pancake. And if you have little ones at home, maybe make a few Silver Dollar size just for them. And since youll need to make these in batches, youll want to keep them warm on a cookie sheet in the oven. Now rather than serving these with syrup, these are even better when we top them with an cheese icing. I hope youll go online and get the recipe for our, red velvet pancakes. And since youll have the recipe early enough, itll give you plenty of time to try these out before christmas morning. Im howard, with kelly, in the mr.

Wendy blum i fell at home and knew i could not walk on my leg and the next morning we called the ambulance and i came to the hospital and they told me i had fractured my left leg. Rae doctors at Mercy Medical center decided to cast wendys leg and let it heal on its own. Thats when things took a turn for the worst. Michael garrett eventually it wasnt able to heal from the injury, they found out she had some peripheral vascular disease, the outcome was not favorable she ended up losing one of her legs to amputation and then later found out through infection more of the leg needed to be amputated. Rae the healing process was slow and long. Wendy spent over a year in and out of the hospital. And due to her unique case she had to under go treatments in a hyperbaric chamber. Michael it puts you under pressure and mimics that you are under sea water 33 66 feet, we are able to drive oxygen into the circulating plasma not just the red blood cells and therefore we are able to oxygenize all the blood going through her body and to allow these really difficult wounds to heal. Rae wendy had more chamber. Hard ds, but i guess i would always think, you know what healed and get a prosthesis and get my life back, ive just always had a positive attitude. Rae and thats exactly what wendy did. April 14th of 2016 will be two years since wendys fall.
