Hello Everybody 

Don't faint but i have actually got FIVE MINUTES to pop in and say Hi to you all.

Mother-in-law is very poorly........she was first diagnosed as having Encephalitis, then a Stroke and now the docs (in their infinite wisdom) have settled on Vascular Dementia. We don't know if this will be their final diagnosis or not as we all feel confused, tired, sad and a bit fed up with hospital at the moment.
She also has a really nasty infectious bug (picked up in the hospital) and has been moved into isolation which means we all have to gown up in the most unattractive outfits everytime we enter the room - then peel it all off before venturing out of the room again.

Bear making is'nt an option at the moment and i really miss it................i took a quick peek at all your new bears and i have to say that they are ALL bloomin marvelous!!!!
  :clap:    :clap:

I hope you are all well and happy................be back soon (fingers crossed)

Aww Penny,

So good to see you again, I pray things will resolve for you all soon, and yes!  hospitals are the best place in the world to pick up an infection.  Sounds like the infection control department is not doing its job....sigh....so what else is new!

Hugs to you, love, and blessings and prayers to T's mom.  I truly hope she feels better soon.

Hey Penny... I'm sorry to hear you're all still stretched so thin and that your MIL is doing so poorly.  What a great heart you have, to be with her so solidly through it.

I'll keep you all in my thoughts...

Thanks for checking in.  I know you've been soundly missed!

Hugs and fingers crossed Pen.  It isn't the same around here without you.

I went to a memorial service for my sister and nephew with my mom yesterday( she did not include my brother-in-law...you know the story)  ANYWAY....when they were lighting candles and my sister and nephews names were spoken I got goosebumps on my right arm ONLY.  There was no one sitting next to me...I think it was my sister.

I often think of you and LUNA as she sits on my kitchen counter where I can see her everyday...and just how she arrived at th perfect time.

Penny,
I hope you Mother In Law improves, it's terrible to go to hospital for any reason and then to pick up an infection. That's bad news.
All my best to you and your family :hug:  :hug:  :hug:
