*** A Beader Needs Us ***

Beki, Healing thoughts and prayers going up for Charley, her husband and family. CERF might be able to help with future monetary support as well.

Beki Please email me - if they are going to do auctions I will donate a set of beads - or let me know what they are intending to do and I will help! Hugs Denise Glitzy Glass Studio

Beki, my warmest thoughts and meditations are headed over the mountains to Charley and her family. Please keep us updated.

Hi Patti,

Thanks for your reply. I am copying them all to send to Charley so she can see how the community is here for her.

And thanks as well for the reminder about CERF.

My heart and prayers go out to them and their family. Thank you for letting us know!

Volunteers are now needed....here is a letter explaining:

i just spoke with charley this morning. she asked that i post to everyone.

wayne is still on oxygen, with no gag reflex. the hospital wants to send him home, and no rest home will take him for rehab as they say he is unresponsive to commands. however, charley says wayne will respond to her and her granddaughter's requests to move his toes, etc. so she's encouraged about that. she is thinking of bringing wayne home. she asked if anyone who has had experience with home care of a stroke victim could send her some advice - or tell her a good book to read about home care and rehab. charley's email is beadyboop @ cox.net (remove spaces). wayne has recognized some people's voices when they visit at the hospital.

he has been dealing with a lung infection as he pulled the feeding tube from his nose and aspirated some of the material. they are going to insert a feeding tube in his stomach. charley says the lung infection appears to be getting better.

if anyone would like to take some of charley's books and sell them - she is willing to ship them to you and just get paid as you sell them - larry at helby's was unwilling to buy the books from her at $2/book. don't get me started about him!

money is going to be very, very tight for them. at this point in time, insurance may not cover a rest home anyway, and they don't qualify for medicare/med-cal. charley would not object to any auctions or fund raising we may want to do - but feels awkward about it - as anyone would who is as much of a giver as charley is. but i know the funds raised are really needed now. i would be willing to work with anyone on setting up an auction - but can't do it all by myself due to work and my parents. charley and i are also trying to work out a way where i could send out the patterns sold from her website for her. so if people want to go to the website and buy patterns - you will get them one way or another!

i know everyone's prayers are with charley, wayne, and the family - keep it up as charley can feel the strength of our prayers surrounding her.

if anyone has any other ideas - or would like to help set up an auction - please contact me off-list.

thanks again everyone! also, please feel free to cross-post this to any other lists or forums! the more people we have praying and helping - the better.
