Looking for pictures

Hello I know that most people have digital cameras if not regular pictures will do.
I am looking for pictures they can be school pictures, pictures that you took of the children, studio shots what ever.
Any pictures that come via the post will be scanned and returned to the sender.
If you only want to send pictures of the kids thats fine. But if you have a family picture that would be really great.Or even a picture of the kids with the grandparents.
My kids hear us talk of their cousins in Ireland and England. They saw some of their cousins while in Ireland this summer but not all.
I am making something like a family tree for them but I need pictures.

So anyone that is a Cosgrove,was a Cosgrove or any Cosgrove offspring please send me pictures.
I don't have many email adderss so if you could please pass the message along.
Thanks
Geraldine

Eye Doctor

Well I had the two at the eye doctor today and our Maura needs glasses. She wanted to go as soon as we got out of the doctors office to get her new glasses. She wants pink ones I told her she will just have to wait and see what we can get in her size.Eoghan also has a new script so he will be getting new glasses too.
Our Finnian had a low vision exam done in August and they couldn't get any light response from his eyes. They are still hoping that once his seizures are under controll he might have vision. They still have him labeled legally blind visually impaired.
I will post pictures of the new glasses once they get them

We are home

Well our lad gave them all a scare in the PICU on Sunday night. I went out for a for a few minutes and came back to 5-6nurses and 2 doctors working on our lad. They got a chest xray and discovered that he had dislodged his breathing tube they redid the tube and everything was fine again.
On Monday they discharged him from the PICU to the epliepsy unit they had to moniter him because they were afraid his seizures might come back once they took him off the IV seizure meds.Thankfully they didn't to be honest I have never seen his brain activity so calm.
Today October 1 we got out of the joint everyone said that I could take care of him at home his pneumonia is 98% gone so another 9 days of antibotics and breathing treatments and we just have to watch him for seizures.
Sorry if I scared people with the pictures of him hooked up to the breathing machine.I have added some more pictures of him in the hospital they aren't as scary.
