Prayers for you, Belle. And lots of love and light and hugs.

Slammed my thumb in a car door today. In a world of hurt and black and blue. Please pray the swelling goes down quickly and I don't lose the nail!

This sister passed away yesterday. The first member of our chapter to enter Chapter Eternal *sigh*. My chapter will be 9 years old on Wednesday.

Honestly? As much as it sucks for us, so happy for her. I told my husband that if I were ever in a similar situation where I flatlined, etc, that means the big man upstairs is ready for me, and nobody better try to yank me back...

So sorry for you and all of her family and friends, Amanda.

((((((((((((Belle)))))))))))


My prayers are with you and your sister's loved ones, Amanda.

I guess it's time to put Hypo on the prayers list. She's going through some scary stuff right now and we're going to pray that it is very treatable and no big deal :) Details are in her college search thread.

Prayers for all...

Thank you all.
Offering my prayers for y'all.

You are all in my thoughts.


Belle, I'm right there with you, stay strong, even though it's hard. This too shall pass.

They got the call yesterday that they had to come over soon if they wanted to see her. My heart breaks for her.

:-( My grandfather is in the hospital again with chest pains this time.
Bonus points to him for not being stubborn and just going.
Minus points for not calling my mother until this morning, because he didn't want to wake her (wtf, pop?)

He's having a heart catheterization tomorrow, and then we'll see. He's doing OK just now, had a stress test...and by stress test, I mean we are all stressed by this test.

You can't tell an 87 yr old man with a math degree from Penn to do a damn thing, so the best I can do at this point is pray and hope that it all goes well and that he doesn't get an infection.

It's hard realizing that those you love are getting old :-(

Sorry to hear that Tulip. And P_Azul- Your grandfather is in my prayers also.

Prayers for all...

My mother had her second chemo treatment yesterday. I was by her side as long as I was allowed to be. (They only allow one visitor per patient, and she wanted my father there, so I had to leave.)

Today, she went back for a follow-up, and was found to be extremely dehydrated. She received IV fluids, and she may have to go back tomorrow for more.

I'm glad I'm just an hour's drive away, but it's wearing on me, taking me away from my work (and I'm self-employed - I can't take any paid leave), and the MTA is making a mint off me on bridge tolls. :p My parents have a home health aide, physical and occupational therapists, and a housekeeper ... but I'm an only child, so I have to handle all the emotional and psychological support.

My husband is there for me, and I thank him for being there and I thank God for bringing such a wonderful man into my life.

Prayers to you aephi alum!

I could use some kind thoughts/good vibes/prayers. As I mentioned, we're moving to Colorado Springs. I applied for a job actually IN Colorado Springs that's in my industry. This is HUGE because there are not many agencies in Denver, let alone Colorado Springs, where we're moving (I seriously think there may be 2).

I think I am PERFECT for this job. I have the perfect amount of experience, the estimated salary is actually larger than I thought it would be, they asked for experience on an automotive account, which I have...I just don't think it could get any better!

The recruiter contact me very quickly after sending in my resume. I take this as a good sign. I just sent in an official questionnaire which will determine if they want to take the next steps with me.

I don't think I could have a found a better opportunity, considering our upcoming move.

My ONLY concern is that timing might not be right. We're not moving until June...

So, I am praying that they are not urgently trying to fill this position and if they give me the chance to show them I am perfect for this job, that they will be willing to let me start in June.

I don't think I have wanted a job more than this.

Praying for everyone who needs it.

On my last night of spring break while being home, I fell down some stairs (it was raining, the stairs were outside and very slick) and broke my arm. I've had to take a week off of school; thankfully my teachers have been very understanding.

The first cast I was in was HUGE and I couldn't even dress myself. So, I got surgery, which is slowly but surely giving me more mobility. The surgery should help my arm heal much more quickly than it would have healed without surgery. Surgery went well, but my arm is still pretty sore. I'm going back to Mizzou this weekend, so I won't have my parents there to help me get around. I'm praying that I will have the strength to study (my pain pills make me absolutely exhausted) and that I will continue to gain mobility in my arm. Any good thoughts would be appreciated. Thank you.
