Kathy Update

I am still in the hospital. My husband brought my laptop to me but I haven't felt much like going online. I am feeling better though and walking around. I had a serious intestinal infection that needed IV antibiotics to help clear it up. They are watching it and keeping me here until they are sure it's all better.

I was on a liquid diet for awhile and am now easing back into soft foods so that's progress. They're taking good care of me and drawing blood every 10 minutes it seems. Hopefully this nightmare will be over soon and then I can recover at home. Keep a good thought. Thanks for all of your prayers, best wishes and concerns.

    Communication with the outside world, that's a good sign of recovery.
    Glad your hospital has WiFi. Well wishes are sent via this e-mail. Gut
    bugs will never get a good quilter down for very long although it may
    seem like it. I've seen it to many times and know it to be true, there's
    always that idea that needs to become a quilt always those stitches
    that no one else can do but you. Be fully well soon.

    may your tummy recover with the swiftness of 12 Amish women on a quilting bee!

    and don't forget your 'friendly bacteria' (acidophilus, yoghurt) to replenish your intestines afterwards.

    to a prompt return to health,

    Just wanted to let you know how much I love your Remembering Adelia....I've done 3 of the projects so far and most likely will do more- soon as time frees up.
    Continue to take care of yourself, and heal completely
