Comfortghan request for my sister, Patti

[diamond]

As some of you may have read in this post Please pray for Patti , my sister Patti is in the hospital with failing organs. I would like to make a comfortghan for her and I need your help with squares. So if any would like to help me make a comfortghan for Patti here's the info:

 

7" Squares

any color will be fine (I think she would like a mixture of patterns & colors)

any yarn will be fine

 

For those that want to help me, PM me and I'll send you my address. I'm not sure on a time frame as we are still waiting on test results and the doctor's diagnoses. Her kidney specialist is out of town until the 16th of May but am sure they are calling in substitutes until then.

 

I wasn't going to post this because I know so many other comfortghans are being requested. I know I've made about a dozen in the past few weeks but a very thoughtful angel emailed me and suggested I request your help. Sondra

 

Thanx in advance for your help & comfort.

Just want to give you an update on Patti. She's still in Aurora hospital. They did an MRI on her today and countless other tests. It seems as if her pancrease got an infection which in turn caused her spleen to get infected which in turn went up into her lungs. They are trying to prevent pneumonia from setting in. On the bright side, it has not affected her 1 & only kidney. Depending on her blood cell counts tomorrow, she may get to go home but under complete bed rest for at least a week. More than likely, tho, she won't get to go home until Wed or Thurs. She is on a liquid diet (only weighs 88lbs before this happened) and is very weak. They are keeping her on IV and pain meds but she has quit vomiting (guess that's cuz there's nothing there to vomit). I actually got to talk to her on the phone tonight and she sounded so weak but very optomistic. Thank you all for all your prayers and forthcoming squares for her comfortghan. I know your prayers are working for her. You all are the best!!!

[123mama]

and I hope she continues to get better. She doesn't sound like she can afford to lose much more weight. Sending prayers for her and you .

Thinking of you and your sister!!!

[kahud48]

Even if she sounded weak, the fact that you said she was very optomistic, that means that she is feeling better. Know that by her optomism in her voice.

Good to hear.

Still in our prayers.

[Seneca and Scooch]

Thank-you for letting us know how she is doing. I'm so happy to hear that you got to talk to her. I keep her in my thoughts and prayers.

I'll be sending 3 squares out tomorrow!

[diamond]

Thank you, Shecritsalot! And thank you all for your support & generousity! Patti is still in the hospital and doing a little better. They want to get the infections under control before they let her go home. Her kidney has not been affected. Your prayers have helped tremendously! She's still very weak and having a slight problem breathing due to the infection that set into her lungs. But the doctors feel she will good as new in no time.

[Seneca and Scooch]

OH! That's such good news! I'm going to start my squares today. I know you said any squares would be fine but what colors does she like?

Coralie....Patti is a true child of the hippie-days....grew up in the '60s and still is very much like that even today. She likes all colors...but if I were to a color(s), it would have to be blues or earth-tones.

So glad your sister is doing better. I wish her the best.

[123mama]

I am glad to hear she is doing better.

 

 

My squares should be in the mail tomorrow.
