One of the friends I sew with came down suddenly with Guillain-Barr=E9 Syndrome and has been hospitalized. She went to the doctor this morning with a tingly, weak foot and now she's on watch for respiratory failure from paralysis.
This woman has had so much stress in her life you can't imagine and I won't go into. But, things were looking better and she and I were signed up to take a class together over the next three Mondays in which we made a really pretty little wall hanging with hearts and lace and other types of embellishments. I am taking the class because she asked me to.
So what can I come up with to help my friend not go crazy while waiting in the hospital over the next three weeks to see if she's going to have to be on a respirator? She can still use her hands right now, although apparently the weakness is climbing up her legs rapidly.
I am going to the library to find fun things to read to her in little snippets, but what kind of little hand projects can I find for her.... things that can be done in a couple hours. Maybe something with a few beads or ribbons..... she really loves frilly.
Any ideas would be appreciated. This is the gal I made the angel quilt for but it's still not quilted. I'm heading to the quilt shop now to reserve the long arm. It's a big thing and I don't think there's anyway I can do it quickly on my machine, especially with the little Pfaff in the shop cause of trauma from last weekend. Poor little thing, I broke seven needles during the course of that day.
Hoping for ideas, Sunny
