Marlys, thank you for taking the time to update us. We are so very proud of
you and your honey for facing this thing head-on, taking each step, taking
each day as it comes, and doing what is required. We see your strength and
courage, and we see our prayers for you being answered. Big hugs, and more
prayers, coming your way!

Karen, Queen of Squishies


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:
