Joy, at The Joy of Six, asked how things were going for my family, because I mentioned that four of them had been hospitalized in the past two weeks. It's been a very difficult time.
One of my nephews has clots in his lungs, and he's likely to be on disability for some time while they work to improve the situation. On of my nieces has been diagnosed with herniated disks in her upper back, one of my sisters had surgery for two hernias, and my brother-in-law had a foot amputated.
I've been afraid to answer the phone because the news has been so grim. Another of my nephews cut his hand at work, and required stitches. Elegante Mother was ill over the weekend, and is just now beginning to feel better.
I'm gathering prayers for my family, and hoping that things will get better, SOON! It's simply not possible to think of loosing any of them.
Sooooo.....we're hanging in there, and hope you are, too!

Sure hope everyone gets better soon and that the phone will start delivering good news!

Thank you, my dear friend! Three of the four are out of the hospital, recovering at home. I'm choosing to hope for the best, to help them through this next few weeks. We all appreciate your prayers and support. Thanks, again, bod.

I don't know why it is that these kind of things run through families....but they do. I've certainly had it happen. I truly am glad to see that most of your family is on the mend Buffy...now, just make sure you're taking good care of yourself.

Sorry I haven't popped by for a while and have missed what has been going on.
Do hope things continue to improve for them all.
Thinking of you all.

Joy, so far so good. I hope that we'll see major strides by Thanksgiving. I'm trying to be very careful to stay well, and I can count on a LOT of help getting things ready for our Holidays. *S*
Thanks for your kind words!

BW, that's okay. We all have times when our lives keep us from blogging. I expect all my gardening friends to be busy this time of year. I'm here hit or miss, too. Thanks for the kind words.
