Mom just about gave me a heart attack...she just called ~ it's 10:34 PM here! She NEVER calls past 9 PM...just to say goodnight! Ahhhhhh....she called to thank me for everything I've done for her, Dad, my sisters and brother. She said "thank goodnes for Pampered Chef! PC allowed you to be with us when we needed you!"

Isn't she the best? Gosh, I love my family!

Ginny, in March and April, when my Dad ws soooo sick, it was such a blessing to be able to scale back my business and be with my family when they needed me. We are so blessed to be business owners with Pampered Chef!

I am so happy to hear Mom is home~I will keep praying for her healing!
 
That's great! And great that the doc is so close! And, yes, it's wonderful the job we have allows us to put our families first...not too many jobs allow that.

So I thought we had to have interviews for the in-home care nurse we're going to hire...

When I approach my sisters and brother ~ I told them I was going to be gone from July 12 - 22. I was going to cancel all my plans, but they (including Mom/Dad) said no! So I thold them I would only go if we hired a in-home care nurse...otherwise I would be a wreck while I was gone. So I suggested if we all split the cost..."NO Gin, you've done ENOUGH! The 3 of us will split the cost then when you come back...we'll go back to what we've been doing ~ or we should YOU'D been doing. We are going to let you pitch in for this cost!"

So I set up interviews for yesterday/today ~ We are so blessed!!! Three nurse from our church has volunteered to take shifts for my parents! (So my sister frantically cancelled all intereviws yesterday.) They would nothing other...at no cost! My parents hae gone to this church since the who knows when...way before I was born (and I'll be 50 this year!). They know and are comfortable with these 3 ladies...they love them! So that's makes it even better!

So as you can see...I'm HOME today! Wahoo! They started alread so I can get ready for everything I need to do before I leave!
 
The good news keeps coming:)
 
karma is a great thing, isn't it?! I truly believe what you give is what you get back!
 
What blessings! Sounds like your church is being The Body in the way it should. She'll continue in my prayers.
 
I am happy to hear things are looking up :)

How wonderful!!! What a great thing to happen to your family (not the accident but the loving support that has been thrust upon your family).

By the way if you are 50, your mom would be at least 70 (just guessing). She seems to be doing very well and in great spirits. I do know as you age, it's harder for your body to heal and such but your mom does seem like a very courageous person!
 
Praise the Lord!! He has definitely been with your family during this rough time. More prayers for more speedy recovery.
 
This is fantastic news!

MORE GREAT NEWS!!!

My Uncle called while I was at my Mom/Dad's today. I was glad I was there...got to ask questions my parent probably wouldn't have.

My Aunt is responding to the new treatment ! ! ! Wahoo ! ! ! They admitted her to a psych ward 2 weeks because she became so combative (hitting, kicking, biting, yelling, etc. She's been in restraints since. ~ if you KNEW my Aunt...this is not like her at all!). The Drs thought she just went off the deep end. Her state of mind was so combative, the psych Drs couldn't even work with her. Finally, my cousin's daughter (medical intern at UCLA) got her in for an evaluation. After many tests, etc., they came to the conclusion she was having some allergic reaction to the meds they were giving her. My Uncle was pleased to tell us she's back to "normal" ~ the kind, gentle and caring person she always has been. The tumor has shrunk a little too, so that's encouraging too.

I'm so glad I was there when he called. Now I can REALLY enjoy Chicago! Leaving Sat...can't WAIT now!

I'm just glad it's "raining GOOD news" now!
 
So glad that the clouds are clearing and the sun is shining down on you and your family. You will all continue to be in my prayers!
