It's not been one of our better weekends. My Uncle Larry (who is only 57) had to have surgery Friday to remove a very large brain tumor. He's not doing very well. There are signs that he is not able to move his left side. Both eyes are swollen completely shut and he's not able to talk. He did squeeze my aunt's hand when she asked him if he knew who she was so, that is one good sign. He became very restless yesterday and the hospital staff had to restrain him which he's pretty angry about.
My parents came up from North Carolina for the surgery. They went to visit my mom's older sister Jean , who is suffering from breast cancer. They found her not doing well either and had her moved to the local hospital in Salem, OH. My cousin called last night and said the doctors believe her body is shutting down and she won't live long. She's been longing to go home to the Lord. I pray it is a painless journey for her. I sure will miss her though. My parents moved to Denver when I was 17 and she took over being my "mom" here. She also has spent the last 23 years of holidays with us after my uncle passed away.
My 21 month old grand daughter recently learned a new trick, stripping all her clothes off. She's a real stinker about letting us get them back on her!
On the needles, a prayer shawl , Pi Style in a fan and feather pattern for my friend Rachel who just lost both her mother and husband within a week of each other, a triangle shaped Fan and Feather Prayer Shawl, and a 5 hour baby sweater for a sweater drive my online Native American Support Group is doing.
