Update

For those of you who have been praying for my uncle Kenny, here is an update. Over this week alot has taken place. Thing have gotten much worse. His organs are failing, there is alot of fluid around his heart preventing it to pump enough blood and oxygen to the other organs. He was born with only one kidney and that is also failing along with the other organs. Saturday they moved him to ICU and as of yesterday started dialysis on him. His lungs have also filled with fluid and caused him to not breathe well at all. They now have him on a respirator and highly sedated. As of overnite, he has now come down with pneumonia. The dialysis machine is very sensitive and has been shutting off creating a backup and results in loss of blood for him. So they are now planning to give him a blood transfusion, to give him back the blood he lost. This is all for now, and I will continue to keep you posted.

Thanks to everyone who has supported me and my family in prayer. Please continue to pray for us and my uncle Kenny. As it is so greatly needed and appreciated.

Prayer request

Hi all, I know I have not been here in a long while, but there is alot going on in my family right now, and finding any time to do anything but survive the struggles that have come up is near impossible. My father in law had his second surgery two days ago on his spine to remove more cancer. They found it to be much bigger than expected the first time so they had to go in a second time. He is doing ok for now.

As you all know, me and my 4 kids just got over the swine flu and started to get better, but when it rains it pours, and now we are all sick again. It seems every time I turn around someone is getting sick again. It's been 3 months and we have probably been well a total of two weeks, if even that. It's absolutely driving me crazy. I don't know if our bodies are adjusting to the new changes, as we are from Florida, and we almost never got sick there but maybe once a year.

The really big issue now, is my uncle was just placed in the hospital and was told he will be there for a good long time. They have ran lots of tests on him, and have found that he has an enlarged spleen and liver. They are still running lots of tests, but don't know as of yet the cause. According to the doctors this is a very critical and serious situation. They have placed him on morphine for the pain. I will be doing alot for the family to help out, cooking, hospital visits, etc., so crafting at the moment is on hold. Please, to all of you who believe in the power of prayer, or even if you don't, please pray for all of us, as it is greatly needed and appreciated.

Thanks to all of you who have sent me messages to check on us, you all are truly wonderful, and a true blessing. I hopefully will be back soon, and hopefully will be able to play. I have wondeful news, but at the moment it's just not a great time to share it. I will wait until our spirits have been lifted a little more. I will keep you posted, when anything changes. Thank you to all, for sticking with me through these thick and thin times. You are all a wonderful blessing!!

This is just a test!!

Hi everyone!! I am just putting up a test video to see if it comes out good. Then maybe I'll be able to start posting some videos for you guys. I am still feeling a bit under the weather, but definitely feel much better than I did. Thanks for all your prayers, and feel betters!! They helped bunches!! I felt bad since I haven't been on here in awhile from being sick so I did a couple of cards for you guys real quick. They are very easy to make. Once I get the video thing worked out perfectly, I will go back and make a video of how I did them. As for the monthly cover giveaway, we will probably do it next week. I will post it on Sunday and it will run for a week, so stay tuned!! Hope you like!! Take care and we'll talk soon.
