When it rains….
July 31st, 2006
It pours!!! LOL! I am really trying to remain positive, but to be honest I am just loosing it… For those who don’t know, about a year ago my mother had a heart attack and underwent tripple by-pass heart surgery. She had a severe reaction to the anethestic and was unable to wake up for several days. Since then she has been slowly recovering. On Saturday night she was taken by ambulance to the hospital again. We really don’t know much at this point, and the not knowing makes it worse I think… She has fluid around her heart and its looking like there may be another surgery. I am really trying to be brave, even numb, but I have to admit, I am just scared. I just didn’t want to face this again so soon! How bad is that, I just don’t even want to deal with it!? I love my mom so much, and watching her go through all this just breaks my heart, and then to have to face the fact that she may leave me so soon… I just can’t.
I guess in a littlme more upbeat news… we are taking the upgrade opportunity as a chance to overhall and re-design the site and store, so sometime next month we should be able to unveil a whole new sleek look. I also wanted to thank everyone for the kind and encouraging comments! You guys were so understanding and it really helped me to feel better about the whole situation. Due to the site down time etc/ I will be extending the sale on the CD through the week. I am also offering a coupon to my blog readers:

Hey Dani: I am so very sorry to hear about your mom… You are having a rough week girlie. I will be keeping your mom and you in my prayers. Please keep us posted so we know how to pray for her. I know how you must feel. My mom is suffering a possible kidney failure. They have done ultrasounds and have found growths on her gallbladder, liver, and kidney. No way to know if it’s cancer or just benign growths… until they do surgery. And my mom is kind of ignoring the situation right now. She’s only 59 right now… so I’m sure it’s hard for her to realizing her mortality. I know exactly what you mean about not even wanting to deal with it. Peace be with you my friend.

Dani - I am so sorry to hear this news - I will say a prayer that everything will turn out alright. Do not feel bad for that email Dani - it happens and there is nothing you can do about it - don’t lose hope. I knew enough to not click on it since it was a red flag that the email came from the stores address and not from paypal actually.

Good luck. You and your family are in my thoughts.

oh Dani my heart is acheing for you and your Mom. thinking of you and will keep you all in my prayers. sending you BIG {{{hugs}}}
August 1st, 2006 at 10:53 pm
Oh wow Dani…I’m just now seeing this! I didn’t know this about your Mom and you wouldn’t believe how sad I feel right now! (BTW, so good to hear that things went well with her surgery). I’ll be praying for her!
I don’t think I updated you on my Mom. She’s fine. They have no clue why she was having pains. All her tests came out fine as far as I know. The last I knew they were going to check out her gallbladder? I don’t know…like you said, sometimes you just don’t want to deal. I totally understand that.
Got my CD in the mail today.
Can’t wait to play with it…I will soon. HUGS!
