Aime, My thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family. She is at a wonderful hospital and they have come so far we will pray that she can hold out as long as possible. Only He knows what is in His plan. Just remember He does not give us more than we can handle. I am sorry if you are not much of a religious person but please just know you are in my thoughts. Hugs Hugs, Melissa

Hey holly, I know what you mean, it's seems the further out we are from surgery the less we hear from everyone or it takes longer. I think that now that we all have so much weight off we're feeling more confidant and are more comfortable out in public so we're going out and doing more. Which I think is wonderful. Donna

I received a call yesterday from my son's fiance. She had been seen by a cariologist at her Ob's insistence. They took her straight from the office by ambulance to Sinai. She has congestive heart failure. She will need to remain in the hospital for the remainder of her pregnancy. The doctor's are hoping treatment will prolong the pregnancy, but will deliver the baby if the stress is to much on her heart. We are taking it one day at a time right now. She is 23 weeks pregnant. I may not be posting much in the next few days or weeks, but I will try to read form time to time!

Hi Aime , Every time one of the cards arrive in the mail is like a new story for my kids i keep telling them there all from a distant family member that is very importante stuff. HUGS MARIA

Hi, sweetie!!! I'm here. I have been really busy lately. I threw a Halloween party for about 20 kids at my house on Sunday and then worked that night. I was exhausted. I'm just glad to have it over with. Everyone had a blast and the kids looked so cute. Then my mom's cousin died all of a sudden on Friday, so we had to go to the funeral home last night. I had to go "shopping" in my MIL's closet yesterday because I don't have anything dressy to wear because I work from home and wear jammies and sweats when I work, so I have not needed anything dressy. I was trying to hold off on buying anything like that until AFTER my PS which is in less than 3 weeks. I found a couple of outfits to wear, but nothing I would have gotten for myself, but made do in a pinch. Sorry to hear that your PS consult was cancelled yesterday. I know it had to be draining to get all psyched up about it and then have it cancelled. Sorry to hear about your g-ma, too. Hope she is doing better. My dad's mom is not doing well. Who knows how much longer she will hang in there. I really need to take the kids to see her, but have been SOOOO busy lately. Tomorrow is Nate's Halloween party at pre-k and Meg's party at daycare. Then on Thursday some of my girlfriends and I are having a little baby shower for another friend that is due any day now. Friday I will be picking up Nate from school and cleaning and cooking for Saturday, which is an Usborne Children's Book Party at my house. Next week isn't as hectic, but I hope to get together with some girlfriends on Friday before my surgery and hopefully Dave will take me out for a date or something special because I won't be up for much for a while after the 12th. Man...my surgery will be here in no time. My surgery is the same day as your PS consult now. Hopefully we both have a good day. Well, I'm off to get my shower and go take Meg to the doctor (I think she has roseola) and I want to get Nate and my flu shots (Meg is out since she is sick) and then Dave is picking up our new stove and fridge, so I have to empty out the fridge and freezer...busy day here...OH...on top of that, I have to fix up the treat bags for pre-K and daycare. URGH!!! Why am I online right now???? Hee Hee. Catch you later. Hope you have a great day!!! Hugs, Tabby
