Great news Robin. Thanks for the update on Dawn.

Thanx, Robin, for the great news about Dawn's surgery. And...thank you Lord!

Hi All, I just heard from Dawn (Scoopie)'s husband. She's out of surgery and in recovery. The surgery went well. They were able to do her surgery laparoscopically (sp?), so she only has three small incisions, which should decrease her recovery time. She'll still be in the hospital for a few days, though. Thanks for all your prayers! Robin

Praying for and with you, Dawn.

Dawn, Prayers will be with you tomorrow and after.

Here is a link to Celeste's book on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Lost-Found-Balloon-Celeste-Jenkins/dp/1442466979/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1355876919&sr=8-1&keywords=Celeste+Jenkins

Dawn,
As the others, I will also be praying for a successful surgery and a speedy recovery for you. May you find strength in all the prayers coming your way and enjoy a "renewed" holiday. Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year.
Congratulations to your daughter and her new book. You have a right to be proud.
Also congratulations and much happiness to your son on his engagement.
God Bless You All.
Merry Christmas.
Lori

So many congratulations, Dawn! In 12 hours you will be reporting to the hospital and getting ready for surgery, which means you will be feeling a lot better again soon! Congratulations to Celeste on her first book--I found it online and it sounds like a great children's book; I look forward to seeing it in print in June... I will keep an eye out for it. Congratulations to your son on his upcoming engagement and have a very happy holiday surrounded by those you love who will serve you hand and foot during this holiday because you will be resting and recovering! Sounds like you just got out of cooking and washing dishes for Christmas! Will look forward to hearing from Robin how you're doing. Cheers!

With you, praying for you and sending you strength!
If you"re body is still asleep, hopefully it'll be all over before it awakes

I just wanted to say thank you to all of you who have sent me emails, and those of you who have posted here on this thread, with thoughts and prayers for me. A sudden calm came over me Sunday afternoon, and when I went to my computer, there you all were. As I told Robin, the power of prayer always amazes me! Thank you ever so much!

I held off writing a thank you, because I wanted to let you know what time the surgery will be. I have to report to the hospital at 6:00 AM. :shock: My body won't even be awake then!

I have had many distractions today, which was a good thing! I had calls from a couple of the kids, and a neighbor friend. The latest news is that our son plans to become engaged on Christmas, and our oldest daughter's book is now on the Simon and
Schuster's web site. Just Google Simon and Schuster/Celeste Jenkins. The name of the book is The Lost (and found) Balloon. Super proud Mom here! So The Lord has kept me upbeat, busy, and calm today!

Again, thank you all! I will make sure Robin finds out how surgery went, and she can keep you updated.

Hugs!

'Today is a tough day for me. Stephen is 19, but is not here to share it with us. So, I piece a quilt for my boys today to try and find some piece. Hopefully next year I will be in a better and we can celebrate his life the way we should. Right now, I need to do some therapy quilting.'

Thank you.
