I was in a car wreck last year and had a burn on my wrist. It hurt like heck to keep it covered, but it stained like crazy when I left it uncovered because it had antibiotic treatment on it all the time. I found a website that said to use mineral spirits--the stuff you use to take paint off brushes. I had some really nice work clothes that I wanted to come clean, and my mom was painting my nursery so there was some in teh washroom...so I gave it a try...and it worked!!! AND it washed out and I couldn't smell it like I was afraid would happen. I always double rinse anyway, but I was SHOCKED at how well it worked. I salvaged my clothes! I never would have tried it if it hand't have been handy, but now I will always keep it in mind for grease stains. It really worked well.Sarah Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00969270017398111351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-29645829103193884602009-04-18T12:40:00.000-04:002009-04-18T12:40:00.000-04:00Thank you for the pictures they are so precious!

Whenever you post those sweet photos of him, I can't help but reach out and touch his face on the computer screen and pray over him. Your testimony has moved me so deeply, and the only thing I understand is that if we love Jonah so much, how much more must the Father love him and want only good for him. <br /><br />I am praying for strength and endurance for you guys, and for peace and comfort to be over your home. I thank God daily for blessing you guys with Jonah and know that our Father who has begun a good work in him will see it to completion!<br /><br />For grease, would maybe stripping your clothes with Dawn work? It is the greasefighter! :) I'm sure everyone else has given better suggestions, but I cloth diaper, and i know I do that for any greasiness/residue I get on my dipes. Either in the washer on hot/hot (you can add boiling water) and a squirt of Dawn, or in a pot on the stove. It works well if you ever need to strip his diapers to get residue/buildup off of them too :)<br /><br />~Hannah in California :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-89122032564678411532009-04-18T12:15:00.000-04:002009-04-18T12:15:00.000-04:00I was just wondering . . . maybe you could call on...I was just wondering . . . maybe you could call one of the uniform services that supplies clean uniforms for auto repair shops!<br /><br />They sure seem to be able to get all kinds of gunk out of those uniforms. Could be they would help you out.<br /><br />Or even call a local dry cleaner/laundry and beg them for any suggestion they might have!<br /><br />OR - who does the laundry for the hospital? See if you can find out what they use?<br /><br />Might be worth a couple of phone calls. They can either help or not.<br /><br />GrannieThis IS The Fun Part!https://www.blogger.com/profile/00496522309336995954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-38335325959603042472009-04-18T11:54:00.000-04:002009-04-18T11:54:00.000-04:00I am still praying.

It is in a large aerosol can and really works great on grease. So far it has taken out all old grease stains that were set in the dryer.<br /><br /><br />You baby boy is gorgeous. Keep focusing one day at a time and I will praying that you find peace each moment of each day.<br /><br />Jamie<br />NashvilleHappy and tiredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11968063410177829910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-10615174020186419822009-04-18T11:39:00.000-04:002009-04-18T11:39:00.000-04:00Wow!

You have so much to proud of. Your strength and faith is amazing and an encouragement to others to always trust the Lord! <br /><br />As for the aquaphor, I have used so many tubs in the last 7 1/2 yrs on my son (eczema/skin allergies). Dawn does work really great as does the powder form of Biz (let soak overnight). However, my favorite is Krud Kutter that can be found at any home improvement store. It is a degreaser/stain remover.<br /><br />Many thoughts and prayers.. Boonville, NC.D.

He's so handsome!!!<br /><br />I read your update earlier as well. I love how you are so honest about wanting his face to be clear so people can see him the way that you do. Although my babies are healthy and "normal" in my eyes, I know that the world may be very cruel to them as well. They both have red hair and I think it is sweet, gorgeous and beautiful but I also remember how mean kids and adults alike were when it came to teasing me. Just know that no matter the situation, the world is a nasty place. Thank God that this world is not our home! I see Jonah the way that you do, in a sense, and he is gorgeous beyond compare. He looks strong and healthy and I'm just so proud of you! Keep it up and try to enjoy every moment (whether it involves vomit or not). haha.

I sent you an email earlier this week at the address on your sidebar, but I'm sure you haven't had time to read them yet. I remember reading in one of your posts that you mix Jonah's milk with a formula in order for him to get extra calories. I have 4 month old twins (boy/girl) and my daughter spent her first 12 days in the NICU for low birth weight. We were sent home mixing my milk with Similac NeoSure formula so that she could get the extra calories too. I have 4 brand new cans that have not been opened and I was wondering if this is the formula that you are using. If so, I would LOVE to send it to you...just let me know.<br /><br />Hayley<br />www.scottsscoop724.blogspot.comHayleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728439181041978884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8191367444095035928.post-61612032071637711162009-04-18T09:04:00.000-04:002009-04-18T09:04:00.000-04:00Cute photos!
