To Everyone Sorry to not have contacted anyone lately. Several of you have inquired privately as to our situation and I just must apologize for not getting around to answering you, but sincerely appreciate your concern. Needless to say, it has been a stressful 2 months and still many more to follow. DH has been having many blood tests the last week in hopes of stabilizing some of his blood levels. Some were near critical and the doctors are keeping close watch on them. Currently he is in the pre-transplant stage at Northwestern Memorial in Chicago. We had gone there last week. I drove. Miracle!! I got us there and back without a hitch. Traffic was "packed" to say the least. But I studied maps ahead of time and didn't do too badly, if I must say so myself. It had been 13yrs since I had made the drive into Chicago and at that time, I had been side-swiped - not my fault either, I might add. Hence the reluctance at trying it prior to this. Anyhow, DH goes back to Northwestern for another appointment at the end of May, provided nothing further happens with his blood work between now and then. It's been touch and go for the last week, and he hasn't had any more of the "attacks" to have him rushed to the hospital again. (Thank goodness.) He is still very weak and not able to do too much of anything, but that is customary with liver failure. In between doctor and hospital trips, I'm still trying to work on my DDIL t-shirt quilt. One friend has seen the top in its near completion stage and she raved about how great it looks. I thought it looked rather jumbled, fabric wise. But then, as she said it is a memory quilt in which all of you that had sent squishies will be included. So you see, I couldn't have done it without you. Hope each and everyone of you have a wonderful, blessed Easter or whatever holiday you would be celebrating, if any, at this time. Good wishes and thanks to all for the thoughts and prayers in the past and hoping you can still spare a few more for us.
Also, sending you greetings for the season. Click the link:
