Well Im Back

Hi everyone, boy have I missed crafting and blogging. This has been a very exhausting and long week..I'm really hoping the weekend goes much better.. They let my son in law go home the other day, But then had to take him back to the hospital last night for some lad work cuz he still is not doing good..They said he is in the end stages, and that 60 to 70 % die with in the first year..NOT GOOD!!! I cant begin to tell you how stressed out my daughter is..All we can do is pray that he will be one of the 30 or 40 % that makes it.. Well I had a chance today to finally get in my craft room and do a few challenges. Here is a tag that I did for The Burtonesque Dolls Challenge. I used this darling little image called Belladonna, from Stitchy bear Stamps..I have colored with prisma pencils added some prima flowers, spacer, brad, glitter dome, rhinestones, chip board swirl, lace and ribbon.Well that's it for today hope to be back later with something else.Thank you for stopping by and for all your lovely comments and prayers..

WHY dose bad thing always happen in 3's

I just cant believe bad things always happen in 3's.. I never told you all that my Mother in law wrecked her quad yesterday and was taken to the hospital..She is OK just bruised up and very sore.. Now today My niece was on the same quad and totaled it, and is on her way to the hospital with a very awful cut on her leg.. MAN!!! What next???!!!

Up date on son in law

Thank you all for your prayers.. They are helping!!!Well they went a head and did more surgery yesterday..They have done a total of 12 bands, on the blood vessels to stop the bleeding..They said that is the most they have ever done usually it only takes 3.Now he is running a fever, they think he aspirated some of the blood..So they are working on that now..OK so here is what caused all of this . His liver is shot.. he was told a yr. ago to stop drinking and he did for a while but then started again..He is only 41 years old and to have all of this is just crazy..When he could have prevented it..This is so hard on his kids and my daughter, who by the way is expecting the end of next month..Little Lacy passed right out when she went into the ICU to see her daddy..Poor little honey..She has always been a daddy's girl..You could see the worry on Chases face but I think he is trying to be tuff for his mother and little sister..Then trying to get my daughter to get some rest has been a joke, she don't want to leave his side.. I really hope he knows how much he is loved and needed.. Thank you all for all your prayers I know they are helping..
Hugs, Linda

Family Emergency

Just a quick post to let you all know I wont be around for a few days.I got a call last night from my youngest daughter that she had taken her hubby to the ER. He was throwing up blood, not just a little (A lot) His blood pressure had dropped extremely low.. Once they got him stable enough the transported him to another hospital where they did surgery..when the Dr. came out he told us to call the family together cuz they did not think he would make it through the night. But thank god he has. they are still giving him blood and he is in very serious condition. they are doing another test and may have to do another surgery.. should know soon.. got to go get some sleep now been up all night. will try to get back asap..

So we have been packing his stuff. I'm going to MISS him something awful.He has been such a joy to have here and such a help to me.. I'm going to miss his little pranks that he loves to play on me.. Anyways he knows that if he ever wants to come back he will always have a home here.. I let 3 of his cousins come and spend a week with him..Since I don't know when he will get back up here to visit..

Last Saturdays we all had to go to Utah. When we got home I let the dogs out to go potty, and someones Big dog attacked Cody.. OMG he was so cut up, on his side it had ripped a hole and his insides where hanging out..I know Gross!!! I was so up set I couldn't find the number for the Fet. Thank goodness my daughter was here and she found it. So back to Utah we went and they had to do Surgery on him and keep him for a few days..Now today I have to take Cody back down to Utah, and get the drain tub taken out..Poor little honey.. So it really has been a pretty crazy week..But I was able to get in my craft room yesterday and make a few cards.. This is one of my new SP stamps I just love these stamps and cant wait to get more..As always I have colored with my prisma pencils, added some ribbon,some little rhinestone flowers, and a charm.

Well thank you all again for stopping by,and for all your lovely comments. Now I'm off to try to do some catching up on your blogs..Take care.
