Hello, everyone. I'm the swapper who had to drop out due to family emergency. I just wanted to let everyone know what's going on. On 11/15/12, DFIL had a hemorrhagic stroke & has been in MSICU ever since. He has been dealing with aspiration (requiring being placed on a ventilator for 2 days), confusion, agitation, inability to walk well, burred vision, trouble breathing, kidney disease, & uncontrollable hypertension. His BP is under better control, but his kidneys are not doing well, which means that he has fluid building up in his lungs. It's been a roller coaster ride for all. We live about an our away from the hospital, so I've been spending a lot of time on the road. I have been bringing some crochet with me, but I really don't get a lot of consistent time work due to family interruptions, phone calls, etc., which is why I had to drop out of the swap. I just couldn't get my sqaures done. It's been 18 days now & he's still not doing well. Please keep us in your prayers. We lost my DMIL 3 years ago November 28th to a hemorrhagic stroke, so this has been extremely hard to deal with. But, we know God has very thing under control.

You and your family are in our prayers. Thank you so much for taking the time to let us know. If there is anything else we can do please do not hesitate to let us know. *hugs*

Thought I would share some of eastTNchicks response when she found out of our intention to send her squares to her anyway, since it is a response to all of your kindness.




You all have brought tears to my eyes with your kindness. I really hated to drop out, but I didn't know how I could get them done in time, & I didn't want to hold everyone up. I may try again at the winter swap, but I'm just going to play it by ear. I have been reminded again that allowing others to bless me brings them an even bigger blessing in return. My first reaction is that I don't deserve them, but I know that you all have worked so hard & are being so generous, so I will humbly accept your wonderful kindness with a grateful heart.

I'm a terrible softy!

eastTNchick, the Lord knows and he is near. I pray your FIL will be strengthened. You are so very welcome for the squares.

That is a beautiful sentiment and shows what a loving heart you have. Your family is in my prayers. I hope that whenever you look at the afghan with the squares from the fall swap you think of how kindness spreads, how sharing grows and how prayers help. God bless.
