Good News about Mom!

Mom has been given travelling orders to a Step-Down Unit!

She's talking (coherently), moving her arms, legs, toes, etc. 

And... she's HUNGRY!

GO MOM!

Praise the Good Lord for His many blessings!

Mom Update: Promising News!

The nurse called:  MeiMei* is off the ventilator and breathing on her own.

She's very alert, trying to talk, following commands, and moving her extremities!

I remain cautiously optimistic!  

Thank you all for your continued prayers.  

* MeiMei is pronounced May-May. 

October Girl: So darn close!

I should really be finished with October Girl.  I just can't take another stitch this night.  

It's storming, the lights have blinked on and off and on again. I'm afraid I'll screw something up and have to frog tomorrow.

Current Progress:

As much as I have loved working on this piece, I'm eager to start work on Pumpkins 4-Sale! 

My Mom is steadily improving, although she is not out of the woods yet.  This news keeps me going and I haven't had a meltdown of epic proportions.  I keep praying and asking the Good Lord to heal and comfort her.

Praying that everyone has a wonderful, blessed, and safe Labour Day weekend.  May your week bring you joy.

Happy Stitching!

Labour Day Weekend, Mom Update.

Can August really be at it's end? It has been a very long, complicated, terrifying month. I'm happy to see September.

My Mom's sinus / ear surgery went well.  She's in stable but critical condition.  Praying for her recovery. Thank all of you for your prayers and good thoughts. They are deeply appreciated.

I finally stitched last night.  October Girl is nearly done.  I hope to finish her before the stroke of midnight!

She's been a lot of fun to stitch.  Now, to do August for Morgan Rose and December for Michelle. The bond between Mothers and Daughters...

Have a Blessed Shabbat

I'll be praying the Rosary for my Mother at 11:30.  You can join me here, if you would like:

Come Pray the Rosary

May God Bless you all on the long Labour Day Weekend. Stay Safe. Happy Stitching.

Update on my Mom and a birthday.

Mom is stable but very critical.  She's had TIA (Pin) Strokes, she's on the ventilator, and it's still touch-and-go.

Please pray for her.  She means everything to me and my family. Especially to Morgan Rose... they are peanut butter and jelly.

Today is my youngest daughter's 26th birthday -- bittersweet for her today.  Happy Birthday Morgan Rose!

I'm going to try to stitch some today -- maybe it will help me relax and calm down.

May your day be blessed.  Happy Stitching.

Unexpected Turn

My Mom's in the NCU.  She's likely suffering with bacterial meningitis from a raging ear infection that went undetected.

She went in on Friday evening.  Her vitals are strong and stable.  She has colour, her fever broke, and we are all praying that she will recover.

I can't even think about stitching.  I just can't think. Period.  Mom is only 74 and I don't want to lose her.

If you will, please remember her in your prayers and send good thoughts her way.

Love you all,

Terri
