Good day Cuties, when will it all end....today I have Gus and Nora, as my daughter was admitted to hospital. She just had surgery last week and was getting over it and her and the kids got a virus. The kids are ok again, but she couldn't pick back up and now is dehydrated, I'm sure. She is very weak she said so may be in hospital a few days.

Of course, they called and brought kids over, after I had already started cleaning my big closet out and things are everywhere!-lol-and tomorrow I have Rylan again. I hope their virus is truly over because Rylan doesn't need it, nor do we!!!

Everything you do is out of love for your family. I admire how you just seem to go with the flow and handle each problem as it comes up without fuss. Hopefully, you daughter will get out of the hospital soon!

She came home thank you. She actually looked and said she felt so much better. Her husband is off the next two days, Sunday and Monday, but she wanted the kids to come home, so I got to meet with my sewing group today. Yea!

You do what you have to for your family, at the time you're needed, no question about it. I guess I've just been really tired lately. I told my husband I didn't know if maybe I was getting sick, or I just needed to converse with someone over the age of 5!-lol

I am glad too, as her in-laws are having their own health issues, and the MIL is my husband's age. She is scheduled for a pacemaker Tuesday. The FIL is only 6 years older and he can hardly get around. He's been falling, hurt his back, had to have surgery and fell again just the other day and got a brain bleed too. Thank goodness his was not as serious as little Rylan's. He's the one the QOV quilt went to, with all the fancy quilting stitches. We wanted to get it to him as soon as we could get it quilted, because of his deteriorating health.

Let's keep our fingers crossed....and legs and whatever else-lol Thanks for the hug and she did come home and is feeling much better. I guess fluids was what she needed, as everything she drank or ate had been going right through her.

Oh my when it rains it pours! And poor you. Hope your daughter's stay in the hospital is short and no one contracts the virus. To me there is nothing worse than being sick in the summer time. Hugs and prayers for you all. Nan

Thanks Nan and you're right. Being sick in the winter seems like it's expected, but not in the summer when the weather is so pretty.

Thank you Mrs Lillian, think of you often, but doesn't seem like I've had too much 'me time' to even sit down and call you. I do love you and hope you are having some good days.

I just got off Facetime with her, for the kids. She said they are mainly concerned that her blood pressure is still low. They have her on the drip for fluids and given her meds for nausea, so she said she hasn't thrown up anymore. I'm not sure about the diarrhea. Thanks Laura for the hope, hugs and prayers.

Major prayers are being sent up for all of you. I'm glad the kids are doing well again. I hope your daughter will feel much better once they get her hydrated again and she regains her strength quickly. I guess you can never have a predictable day. But the closet will get sorted out again. I'm sure the kids will all be big helps bringing items to you to put away.

I have 4 black garbage bags in the hall, each about half full so it won't be too heavy, and I've hardly made any extra closet space it seems. I'm not through though, but everything is back in place for now. ..You are right. It seems no matter how hard I try, I can't plan a day for ME. I went for an hour, at our last QOV meeting 8 days ago, just to turn in a quilt top to be quilted and pick up more fabric to make another. I have made it, but only because I didn't have Rylan until Wednesday. There is a special 2 days of sewing tomorrow and Saturday. I thought I would have Rylan tomorrow and be able to go Saturday. Now I have Gus and Nora so, so much for planning me a day....I am so looking forward to July!!!-lol

BTY- Rylan will be staying at Taylor's moms while I have Gus and Nora. They seem to be over it, but she/we didn't want to take any chance of him catching the virus.
