Frankenmuth update soon!

I will be posting more updates about Frankenmuth this weekend. I have been extremely busy. On top of a very busy schedule my eldest daughter Lindsay lost her baby and had to have surgery, Easter Sunday she ended up in the hospital with the same blood issues that run in my family. Because of the blood loss when she lost the baby, and having the blood disorder that is in our family, her hemigoben drop to 6.8 the same as when I landed in the hospital 2-3 weeks prior. So she had to have a blood transfusion. She wanted me down there so when her DH called at 1 am, I got dressed and flew down to Genysis hospital. I took my work clothes with me and went from spending the whole night in the hospital to working the whole next day without any sleep. I thought it would be tougher then it was. Then 2weeks after she lost her baby her father in-law pasted away, so they where here for 12 day. It has been really rough for them. So as you can see my life isn't my own right now. I hope things will settle down soon. I didn't mean to go on so much, I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you all and sorry I haven't been on much, hopefully life will ease up a little. God Bless---Toni

Toni, so sorry to hear about the loss of the baby. that is one of the hardest things i have been through. will say a prayer for her in this time of need.sounds like it is a really tough time for the family, make sure you take care of yourself too! teri

Hey Toni, So good to hear from you...my prayers are with you, your family, your daughter and her family...what a tough time. I'll be praying for physical, emotional and spiritual healing for you all. I've been hoping to hear about Frankenmuth, but I am now very thankful that I didn't do a "Has anyone heard from Toni" thing...you're plate is abundantly full of challenges right at this moment, and I can tell you have a good handle on your priorities...God bless you for that . You take good care of yourself and your family, your OH family loves and supports you and we'll be here cheering you on, okay? Frankenmuth should be a fun thing for you, not another responsibility that's draining on you, please don't forget that. Much love and many prayers, Lizzie B

Toni, Sorry to hear about Lindsey's (and your) loss. I will be praying. I wish I could come to Frankenmuth. I am scheduled to speak at a Mother/Daughter tea on Saturday. I am scared to death. I am hoping to make it to the BBQ in August. It falls on my birthday so maybe I can talk my hubby in to going that way. Write sometime (or call) would love to chat with you. Peggy

Toni. Thanks for posting your update. Your family is first so if this Frankenmuth thing doesn't work out so be it. More important right now is your daughter. I feel so bad for her and also your son-in-law. Huge losses in such a short period of time is tough. They are in my prayers. Patt

Toni, Thinking of you and your family in this time of sadness, know true in your hearts that the Lord is taking care of you and your family. I pray for comfort and peace during this difficult time, and hope for an overwhelming sense of Love from God to all of you. I know loss hurts, having lost my father just this past February. But to lose a child, I cannot even begin to think of what the feelings are. Take comfort in knowing that "God will never put us through something we can't handle" and that "HE" is with all of you right now through this time and every moment taking care of your hearts and minds. I wish I could do more for you and if I can please send me an email, and if you need a shoulder to cry on I have two boney shoulders that you can call your own any time day or night, ok? All my love and prayers and hugs, Stacey W

Hi Toni, So sorry to hear about the loss of the baby. You and your family will be in my prayers. Joyce

Toni, My sympathy is sent to you, your daughter and family. It is difficult to lose a baby abd then another loved one so soon afterwards. It is good that she has you there for her. My offer still stands to help you with whatever you need for the Frankenmuth outing. Just let me know. Once Dave's surgery is over tomarrow I will be free, as my sons wedding is over and the filly has been born and is doing very well. So I can help if you need it. Take care, Brenda Peterman
