Time to Collect those Happy Thoughts Again

rachel i am sorry that really sucks. lung things are nothing to mess with. I am glad you are feeling better. *hugs*

 

Ack. I hope the blood thins enough (or has already done so) for you to go home today...

 

I'm asking for some happy thoughts to be sent to my nephew, Ben! He is 2 years old and in recovery after having surgery on his Meckel's diverticulum. He went into the hospital with vomiting and pain yesterday, and after slicing in there, they found the problem. The sac had to be removed, but also some dead colon. A full recovery is the plan.

My sister is very tired, but optimistic and happy. Ben woke up peeved about the tubes and has been trying to rip them out, which we all think is a great sign. I'm thinking some hugs and happy thoughts will help make this a smooth recovery. He likes dancing, talking, trampolines, and defending his turf. Cosmic hugs commence!

 

Good Vibes coming your way!

 

Yes, hope all turns out well for the little fella.

 

oh for sure linda!! poor little guy!

 

Thanks for the hugs, you guys!! Ben is doing great. He did his, ehem, business today, which is a what the docs were waiting for. And as his first solid-food meal, he asked for a milk shake and tater tots. Good choice, bud.

 

I'm glad to hear his recovery is going well.

 

I'm so glad he is doing better.

 

Whoa! Scary stuff. Glad he's on the up-and-up.

If you could keep my Mom in your thoughts, that would be nice.

 

super hugs to your mom and you

 

So sorry ZOO

 

prayers going your way for you and your family.

 

So sorry.

 

My Sincerest Condolences Jenn.

 

I'm so sorry for your loss, Zoo.

 

Theres a huge wildfire burning in Santa Barbara California right now...lets pray the wind dies down a bit.

 

Mom fell, and I'm waiting for Dad to call from urgent care with an update on her stitches... Think positive please

 

oh gosh zoo...will do!

 

3 "square box" stitches, sliced clear through the skin and nicked the tendon.

So, on top of 10 kids, I have 2 grown up kids to deal with today.

 

ouch! glad she is ok

 

OMJ, hope she is doing well and has a fast recovery and isn't too sore.

 

hey kids...if you could please send some good vibes this way. I am going to the doctor around lunch time, but i am not fairing well today. I am sitting here trying not to be dizzy and trying not to cry because well i am a little freaked out. so yeah...talk about a bad monday.

so i am sorry i sound like a big baby...just a little freaked out at the moment...and well it is better to whine here then to co-workers...they all think i am just down about the Titans...which is fine, the room is spinning and i am trying to hold out until the doctor. blah

thanks..again my apologies for the whining..i just need some prayer or support or well to feel better would actually be the best right now. HA

 

Yeah, good luck & don't leave until they "fix it!"
