Comfortghan needed for 7yr old girl with brain surgery


Ashley's Mom

Recommended Posts

I recieved a terribly shocking call today from my brother. His daughter crashed on her bike and was airflown to the University Hopsital in Iowa to have emergency surgery for a fractured skull. It is a very heart wretching time for their family to go through. I would like to ask for your talented assistance in assembling squares to make a few comfortghans. I am planning on starting tonight. I know my brother is a huge fan of the Cubs and my niece loves bright colors. I was thinking on the lines of whip stitching the squares together. I'm not a very fast crocheter so making one ghan would take a few weeks I'm sure, so any help will be apprciated greatly, but mostly your prayers for my niece to make a complete and speedy recovery. Thank you all:hug

 

Another Ville member pointed out I needed to add specifics on size and color. Please, see post #4. Also I would appreciate any light weight girly hats as I realized they shaved her hair to do this surgery and it may be a blow to her self esteem to have her long pretty hair gone. Thank you all again for the kindness and prayers she has a long road ahead of her.

What size squares are you wanting? And I am not sure what the colors are for the cubs :lol. Also when would you like to have these squares by, as I would be willing to help you out with a couple of squares.

Well I didn't think about those questions.. sorry for my lack of specifics I'm kind of walking in a daze today with all that has been going on. I think maybe 8 inch squares would work up fastest. It also didn't dawn on me to say the colors of his beloved cubs team are red, blue and white. They are the ones with a logo that has a royal blue background white a red C outlined in white if that makes since? I'm not a sports watcher so bare with me. Also I was thinking that my niece will probably have a need for hats since they shaved her long pretty hair to complete the surgery. I am off the next 3 days of work so hoping to have something in the mail to them by next week. We found out she will be in the hospital for quite awhile and I know she would love something to snuggle with and my brother will need something to cover with as he plans o staying right beside her during her stay.

Thank you so much for pointing out these details my mind is scattered.:blush

First I want to say thank you again for everyones caring words and prayers, it means so much. Your support and encouraging words have helped me especially, deal with the uncertain thoughts and feelings I have been struggling with.

The best news arrived this morning in hearing they have taken out the draining tube from her head and that she was able to talk some for short periods of time. Possibly more but the pain medicine makes her very tired. My brother quoted what she said. " I want a Happy Meal" then after the chuckling from surrounding family she stated she was tired, which if you knew my neice is not typical. She is a night owl and hard to get to sleep because she never seems to want to miss anything. LOL

Hearing the news really makes me thankful for all the praying everyone has done.

Thank you all for taking the time to read my story, offer assistance, and mostly comforting words. :ty:ghug:heart

My prayer is with you and your family.

 

I will try to make some squares but because I work overnight I sleep all day and work all night. Even on my off days I sleep all day. I will do my best. Where to send the squares?
