Mom's mumblings

Sounds like you girls are really getting into it. Dad is calling everyone to cancel the Springfield tournament. Maybe if the weather breaks like it should we could get together to do the bracelets this weekend. Or, I could pick up what's needed when I go to tutor Monday, and then have my class make them on Tuesday. Good idea to take a video, and then have it available for the kids to see.

I was hoping to visit my cousin near Springfield, but she said Sat. wouldn't have been good because today (Fri.) is her first chemo. She found out the cancer is in her bones as well as her liver, kidney and lungs. She has 18-24 months to live. Man. She's younger than Aunt Karen. Pray for her.

I'm dying to know what Julie had. There have GOT to be pictures and info. on the Borhart site today. I think I told everyone but Nora that Aunt Ann had emailed me that Julie had mild pre-eclampsia, risk of infection from broken water, contractions that wouldn't stop so the cervix could dilate, epidurals that were moved and resulted in major pain, 3 days of contractions, followed by 3 hours of intense pushing, followed by a C-section, followed by threats of an emergency hysterectomy and blood transfusion. Ann said she hadn't slept in many hours, but all seemed to be fine now. The baby was a champ, and in the end, the worry was about Julie's condition, rather than the baby's. I'm guessing it's a boy, because Ann referred to the baby as a "champ". Isn't God awesome, though? I'll let you know when I know more of the story.

I didn't want to go into all the detail on the Harm site because Angie is only weeks away from delivery herself.

I'm sorry that Alicia has gotten that rotten cold.

Love you all!
