Several of you sweet friends have emailed me, concerned that I haven't posted anything in awhile. And concerned that my Mom was worse. Thankfully, the reason I've not been on here is simple busyness and lack of creative mojo. But Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner's Summer Card Class is inspiring me. And as soon as I can get into my studio I will have new cards to share. I am so grateful for your concerna and continued prayers for my family.
I do have some miraculous news about my Mom. She has a number of health issues: COPD, Kidney failure, diabetes. Recently she has been hospitalized almost weekly with breathing issues. In the end they figured out that she needed dialysis 4, not 3, days a week. (it removed fluids that were affecting breathing) While she isn't thrilled she will do anything to be able to breathe better. So far it is working!
This past week she went to the doc and learned that HER DIABETES IS GONE! She lost alot of weight through her kidney failure and this was a positive result. We were stunned and so incredibly thankful for some good news for her. One less thing complicating her care and her life. Praise God!
Nice to hear from you, Jana! How wonderful that your mom doesn't have to deal with the type 2 diabetes anymore. I'm glad everything with you is alright. I'm so totally enjoying camp too and I look forward to seeing what you create! :)
