Rachel, please take care of yourself-those boys need their Mom.

Florence, it is so cool that the twins got into college and they'll be together. Don't forget that Keepsake Quilting's in New Hampshire, which is right next to Vermont. You know you'll have to make a stop there.

Hanne-Grete, I think your thoughts are just as good, if not better, than prayers. Just offer them up.

I have a request. My sister-in-law's boyfriend has been diagnosed with stage 4B(I don't know what the B means) lung cancer. As of last night, he was in ICU because they had to collapse his lung to get where they needed to go to do the biopsy. They're only giving him a couple of months. I don't even know what to say to her. They've known each other almost since they were kids; both married and raised families. They started dating 2 or 3 years ago. We were so happy for both of them and we're praying for a miracle.

Florince sorry to hear you have not been up to par I hope you start to feel better soon. And Ritzy that is hard to be so far from the family that is the way it was with my mom she was 3 hours from us in the hospital. I hope and pray things will get better soon I am trying to stay healthy for my surgery in April Happy

Jordan seems to be doing well but that can't get him placed where he can get the therapy he needs and be close to family. They are trying, once again to find him a place. Please pray. Right now he is more than five hours from anyone. His family does not want him to feel abandoned but it is impossible to travel that far every weekend and still keep their sanity and jobs.

Oh Rachel you do have your hands (and heart, and head) full! I've actually been able to be on the site a bit more this week b/c I've had a sinus infection that's literally knocked me on my a... Missed work Monday for the snow, then was sick & left early Tuesday & haven't been back. I've gotten a tiny bit of sewing done but I'm almost afraid to do anything of importance b/c my head is just in a fog & I don't want to screw anything up. But this too shall pass, and all that laundry will still be waiting for me....
Florence

Hey lady you need to stop now and take care of your self.Your family needs you. Please take care love Happy

Oh my goodness I haven't been on the computer in so long first it had a virus then I had one that I am afraid has gone into pnuemonia. NO I do not want sympathy. I am a foolish idiot that does not know when to stop and take care of myself so I had it coming. I have not been able to check in but I have been praying for everyone. I told my DH that I was going thru TQS site withdrawls. I did want to give a quick update on my family though. My sister is doing much better. She is now on Medicaid and gets a whole $75 a month in foodstamps. She is a very good shopper though and we will be able to stretch it so we are all very greatful. At least she will get her meds. The bundle of bloodvessles in my brothers head is showing signs of shrinkage. And my other brothers leg is healing very nicely. That and both neices that are pregnant are both doing well. Unfortunately I am not will post more later

Pam thank you so much for pointing that out. I just have to avoid the blogs b/c then I know I'd NEVER get off the computer and back to the sewing machine! I met Leslie some years back at Mid-Atlantic Quilt Festival in Williamsburg and she's a lovely person. It hurts when any of our TQS family is hurting.
Florence

Please remember tqs member Soren2go, Leslie and her family, whose son Stephen died on 24 February 2009. She has recently left a member's blog. Pam

Please pray for my Daughter-in-law's mother Alice in Phoenix, she has some kind of an infection, which they don't seem to pinpoint, she is now on a 6-week drip antibiotic. I know that prayers help. Thanks

Margarita in Auburn, CA

Joan that is great news Happy

Hi, hope you allare well, or busy quilting!! I have news on Sarah, my cousin's daughter, her heart surgery went well, and things were replaced and sewn back up, and the doctor said hopefully he won't have to go back in ever again. So thanks for your prayers for Sarah!! Yay God!
Joan

Rachel hang in there! Wish I was closer I'd help you out! I remember the days of migraines and kids, and I finally just said the heck with everything and gave them my total attention. then when we all felt better we'd do dishes together! I am needing a "kid fix" so we will drive out to Ohio to visit Peter next weekend, he is the closest. and then Jeremy will be home soon for spring break! yay!!
My husband and I going to doctor today for blood work, and hopefully more help for my gut.
Love to you all, you are in my prayers.
Joan

Brink you just believe in your higher power and call him what you will. My God has many names and I bet he may even go by what you call him. I am sorry to hear that your expierence with a traditional GOD was a bad one. But as long as you would like to be a part of this group you are more then welcome.
Ritzy, Happy, Ann and Florence, I am so happy to hear things are going in the right direction. And Joan thank goodness that you switched insurence and found the new info about your son. It amazes me how things con go so long undiagnosed.
Please pray for my sons they have the week off school and I have been suffering migranes again. I am about ready to KILL THEM No seriously they are both struggling with grades and trying so hard. Plus my oldest is dealing with a broken heart. His girlfriend told him that he was husband material not boyfriend material. :shock: He is 15 and very moody to say the least. Also my one neice who is pregnant is having a difficult time. She is very hormonal. In other words if you see her RUN She will laugh cry and scream all in one breath. I think she needs an exorcism. Her poor boyfriend is a saint. Sorry I have been absent but family and doctors have me running crazy.
