Hello, Update and Thank you!

Sorry about not sending out an update sooner. I have just been wiped out since our Easter visit to Nashville. Long drive there and our return drive was in very bad weather! Gas prices are out of site also! Can’t see much travel for us as long as it is 4 bucks a gallon!! Was sad to leave there but went knowing we had to get back to VA. So much to do to get caught up here and had appts of our own.

This is the simple block quilt I made for Zavier.

He loved it! Here I am with him!

I knew when we got back here the news would not be sent in a timely(grandma) fashion! Pics will be few if any as the camera we gave them has been misplaced. Oh Dear!

Zavier has made some wonderful progress!!

The radiation and chemo seems to be making that mean old tumor shrink and shrivel!

YES!! He now can lay on his back , sit up in the room chair and more movement!!

Has some feeling in his toes again!

Soon will be wheeling around the ward.

Doctors, nurses and PT staff are very pleased with his wonderful progress.

A lot more treatments to go but this just seems miraculous to me after how low Zavie was when we were there!

Still has to have feeding tube and some pain meds but we hope that will be improving soon as well!

This is going to be a long hospital stay for Zavier. 6mths or longer.

Daughter is carrying quite a large load but she is blessed with some good friends and neighbors.

There are some personal troubles and financial struggles in her family now as well.

Hard to have to sit back and watch our grown children struggle with their lives.

Sadly that is what we have to do as we can’t make the choices for them.

We will do what we can to best help out from here.

I am researching charities, groups and fundraising to try get some help with the extra costs, gas for the travel back and forth to hospital, day care for the other 5 children, food for family when they are all at hospital.

If you know of any agencies or organizations I can contact, please email me the info!!

primthreads@yahoo.com ‘help’ in the title.

Thanks so much for all the concern, prayers and gestures of love and friendship you have shown myself and my sweet grandson!

As my Mama used to say…May you be blessed REAL GOOD!

These are my last peonies I picked for Sunday, Mother’s Day.

I spent the day at our sons home.

Was a wonderful day!

Hope all you wonderful Moms had a delightful Mother's Day and were treated in some way you enjoyed also!!!

Hugs,

Lola
