My Quilting Friend Diane


My Friend Diane Posted by Hello

I only have a few minutes to post before I'm off to the endodontist for a consult and then to work. The pretty lady opening her Christmas quilt (pictured above) is now in the hospital and is gravely ill. She had a "lap band" procedure done in Mexico a couple of years ago. She lost bunches of weight and became slim and beautiful, but little did she know that things were going horribly wrong inside. To make a long story short, she went back to Mexico for some repair surgery, got a horrible infection, and ended up back here in the hospital for more surgery. Without going into all the gorey details of the subsequent surgeries here in the U.S., this gal is fighting for her life. She is the mother of six children, and though some of them are in college now, her "baby" is only nine. Please send your prayers, positive energy and healing thoughts to surround her. Thanks!
