Home

My beautiful daughter has survived the craniotomy and is improving daily! My time over the last couple of weeks (and couple of weeks to come) has been with her and my grand kids. Life will be different for a couple of months, but we are expecting a happy recovery. Vision in her left eye is still not there. Over time, we are hoping this will change and if not, she said she can live with that .... considering the alternative!

The doctor said he was very glad to have done this surgery. Her anuerysm was paper thin and he could see the blood flowing through it. He said it would not have lasted a year and would have burst. Her survival of that would not have been good, if at all. We are very blessed and so thankful for everyone's prayers and positive energy!!

Meanwhile, I am rooting doll heads at my daughter's house (among other things..) and have clay work drying on the racks at home. Lots going on, but planning helps out.... and of course friends! Chris has some wonderful caring neighbors who are bringing dinners and goodies to the house this week...

Have you hugged your loved ones lately? and often...

tried to reply to your "awww" email and it bounced as failed.

Anyways - truely "awww" esp the fat puppy on his back. Felt sort of sorry for the white kitty with the funny ears and eyes (overbred) and loved the final quote. thanks!

Thank you for your kind words, Leah and Tammy.... the anerysm is GONE and now her brain is healing from the invasive surgery. Each day she is bouncing more and more back to herself!
