[Guest guest]

Hi Debs.

 

As you well know, you are on my mind all the time.  i was so happy to hear from

you this afternoon.

 

I don't know how you do it with such little kids to care for.  I know they can

be so busy!!!  My little Granddaughter Hannah was speech delayed. She would

jibber jabber but no clear words.

I was really concerned about it, but the Pediatricin told my daughter don't

worry she will talk in time.  Hannah was sick with a bad cold and ear ache, so

she went to her Ped., and when he examined her, her ears were so blocked etc,

plus infected.  She went back for a well check and he said she needed to see

the ENT specilist, which she did.  He surgically put tubes in her ears, then

she began to talk, and talk she did!!!  All that time her ears were totally

blocked way down inside the ear.  She talks perfect and has since the tubes

were put in.  No wonder she didn't talk, she never heard the correct sound of

anything.  She went from no talking, to saying everything in 2 weeks.  An

amazing thing!!!

 

Debs, I think the Dr. are right about an ulcer and where it is.  That area must

be so weak, so when the Ulcer flares, you begin to hemmorage.  Wish they could

find it before another scarey episonde.  I suffered from nose hemmorages since

the age of 2 until I was in my 20's.  They absolutely terrified me.  I could

just twitch my nose and out all the blood would pour.  I had to go to the hosp.

where they packed my nose with many, many gauze squares and then in 3-4 days

take them out.  Many times when they took them out, the hemmoraging would begin

again.  I can't tell you how many time I had my nose cauterized and it was

awful.  Even today if I see a drop of blood on my hanky, I panic as I just

hated it.  They atributed it to a weak spot way up high in my nose near a

blood vessel.  I will tell you I could smell the blood before a hemmorage

started.  I was so fearful........

 

It is good you will see your blood specialist more often.  Hopefully they can

see by the blood work when you begin to bled, then operate on the ulcer before

it becomes critcal.  Life does throw us lots of curves to deal with.

 

It is good your family is close to you.  Mine are all in Mass. and I miss them

so much.

 

Funny you just bought some plants.  So did I Mon.  My son has made a cute Cape

Cod garden out my bedroom window.  I bought a roll of picket snow fence to put

around it.  I have my birdbath in the center, and the birds use it all the

time.  We lost a lot of Palm trees and plants these last 2 winters when it was

28.  Nothing in Florida will stand that.  I am learning the names of the

plants down here.  It is good for our well being and out soul to have some

plants around.

I bought a bright yellow vine for my Trellis.  The plant is Carolina Yellow

Jasmine.  It is very cheery yellow and I hope it grows good for me.  I also

bought a pretty plant with orange/yellow flowers and I have no idea what it

is.  The colors are bright and happy.  We both do not need to look at anything

depressing, right????

 

I just hate those nights that you can't get to sleep or stay asleep.  I am

absolutely no good without sleep.  Totally disfunctional.  I pray you sleep

good tonight.

 

Yes, I remember when you were in the hosp. and you had to have your leg taken

off.  You were so sick then with the Sepsis infection.  You are lucky you did

not lose your life that time.  Those were mighty awful years then.  At least

this time you have quite awhile between that last episode and this one.  I too

will be glad when they can get this ulcer out, fix the artery and then you will

be on the road to a complete recovery.  That will be so wonderful for you and

your family.

 

I am happy your husband is there for you to give you a hand etc. and support. 

You need him with you now.  Glad he is semi-retired.

 

Oh it is so nice to decorate the house etc.  Gives us a lift too.  That's what

I did every Spring too.  My weather has been perfect, 84, sunny, breezy and

dry.  Just had lots of rain this morning which I was happy about.  Is your

weather the same over there?  Is it hot like MIami?

It is very tropical here, just like the Caribbean.  I love it!!!!

 

Yes, Debs, when I get my cast off, can drive, I will def. drive in your

direction to see you.  What a time we will have.  I hope you tell the Cabana

boys to get ready for me, waite on me and you, and your daughter can serve us

whatever cocktail she is making that day.  Oh what joy!!!!

 

Try to rest when you can and let your husband watch the little ones so you can

get a nap in.  Good thoughts and prayers from me jto you, you sweet girl.

 

Enjoy today and those cute little ones.  I so love children and miss mine

awful.  I hope to fly home soon.  My 2 granddaughters have everything planned

out what we will do, where we will go etc.  Just love it!

 

Please take care of yourself, and know I am sending lots of love and hugs to

you.  I was so happy to get your letter.

 

God Bless you in all ways Debs.

 

You are just so special to me.

 

Hugs and hugs,

 

Barbara
