5 NEW ANGELS

Good Monring Angel Watchers,
I don’t have a lot of time this morning, so a quick note before I’m off to the chemotini lounge.

I’m thinking after last nights bout with power surges, my image of wrapping up in a blanket to hibernate rather than my being enveloped by fog image is sounding a little too toasty warm for me.  Between Decadron and nuclear meltdowns, I slept fitfully to say the least until after 4:30 am when I was able to sleep for a full two and a half hours without waking, which is why I’m running a little late.  My older sister is meeting me in 20 minutes or so for breakfast before we head out to the lounge.

I’ll check back in later this afternoon after lunch and a visit to the ds. The older sis hasn’t seen his new digs.

I’ve got my Supergirl cape, FUBC tshirt, Check Your Boobies hat, and chemotini glass in hand.  Up and Up and away…I hope Superman doesn’t mind me borrowing that line for today.

PS Norm- I agree with Faith, you don't have to be chipper here, and therapy will bring up stuff that isn't pleasant that we're ready to deal with, so this funk is good news in that your psyche is ready to deal with things that will help you clean out that emotional closet.  

Hallelujah!! Puppylovey..... thanks so much for posting. Offering you encouragement thru your wrestling with the alternatives is the easiest thing I've ever done, sweet friend. I am so grateful to you, for your vibrant willingness to offer faith to others. Letting it reflect back to you is simple.

Prayers all week.

KimberSIS: you took all of your props and costumes to let your medical staff know that you intend to conquer this, and conquer in style. They must love being able to offer their expertise and support to you, Kimbers.

I'll pray that the fog lifts just as soon as possible.

Norm: We are always here for you..... whatever your mood, whatever your attitude, whatever you're thinking. The more you are honest with us, the more we can extend our caring (with being specific) to your current thoughts.

I had a TERRIFIC turnout at a little bittie town library for a concert tonight. The librarian said it was impossible to count, but she thought there were over 120 in attendance. We had such a riot of fun. From teeny tots to tiny teens..... I LOVE family night. It was so much fun. We ended with a grand finale and I brought all the kids up on stage that wanted to participate. It was so funny. So many parents were grabbing their phones to take pictures!! I haven't seen that in such abundance before. LOL.

Well all three of you: Deb, Kimberly & Norm are in my prayers all week long!!

Norm: strength to you in the lonliness that is now settling in, now that some of the immediacy of the tragedy have passed. Of course you're lonely. Staying busy sounds like the best strategy for coping.

Puppy & Kimber: love, hugs, strength and courage

I have a HUGE day on the road tomorrow and must go get myself organized. Will be praying for each of you in these trying times as I drive back and forth across the state.

Fog Aleart. Fog Alert. KimberSIS is possibly about to be enveloped by fog. Kimbers, with your remaining functional brain cells -- I challenge you to think of as many possible acronyms for FOG as you can think of: Friendship Offers Grace is my first suggestion.

I'm glad that your costume puts you in charge of the situation. I'm sure that your approach of lightness and mirth helps all manage on their best behavior. You are a model for others, dearie.

Puppylovey: just sending you bundles and oodles of love today. I had a 3 hour drive up here and just spoke all of my hopes and concerns for you that I could think of and articulate. So feel free to use your energy today for more productive things.

Norm: I think Kimberly has given you an excellant gift. At this point just ask yourself questions -- you don't have to find answers at this point..... just ask the quesitons: What do I do now? What can I offer with the remainder of my life? What opportunities now present themselves because of this tragedy? Where can my unique gifts be utilized? Are there places looking for my set of skills?

Just keep asking questions....... ask with a pure heart & one day the answer will emerge -- just when you need it.

So what a hoot, angelwatchers..... I'm driving up here this morning, zooming along at 62.8 miles per hour and what do I encounter??? A horse-drawn Amish buggy. Talk about a whole different perspective on life!! Can you even imagine?

Blessings thru the fog, the lonliness and the uncertainty of it all......

Angel watchers: I have such encouraging news from snow-melting OH to cheer each of you. I accompanied my dau to her doc appt and ultrasound. All is well in babytown. She continues to incubate with great blood pressure and all signs are encouraging.

According to their estimations the babies are nearing the 4 pound mark -- with brother Trevor tipping the scales at 3 pounds 15 ounces, McKenna just 6 ounces behind him.

They made her next appt for 2 weeks out!! Let's keep praying that all stays on this path. Trevor is currently breech and so there's not a lot of room for him to get flipped correctly -- so they will be watching sharply for those sort of placement details.

We went tonight to a HUGE garage sale for multiples and got a stroller for two and a way cool wagon, plus quite a lot of other goodies. I had never seen such an event as this!! Everyone was so amazingly encouraging.

People can be so very, very wonderful. Tonight was such an example of goodness oozing out of folks.

Puppylovey: I love this blessing that you've shared with us. When you are able to tell us of your week, please share as much as you are willing. In the mean time I pray in broad brush strokes for you.

KimberSIS: sending you a HUGE fan to blow the fog out to sea. Then cooking up a picnic for you to take in the convertible to celebrate the progress you've made.

Norm: I'm sending you an enormous cyber-hug, a kick in the pants, several armies of pixie-fairies to watch over you and cheer you in whatever way you want. Perhaps a garden gnome to stand guard over your healing heart.

Find fantastic things to do with the coming weekend.

Good evening Angel Watchers,

I promise I'll catch up on reading what I've missed while enveloped, but wanted to let you know I so felt you love and support. Thank you!!!!

March 17th-
St. Patrick’s Day seems like a very good day to emerge from a thick fog hangin’ o’er the moor I had lost myself in these past days. Moors can be very tricky to navigate ye know. For those unaware of my Scottish Heritage, I have great affection for the Celtic, and this seemed a good analogy for me to use on this day. A moor is an extensive waste covered with patches of heath, or low shrubs, and have a poor, light soil (something akin to my pale pallor), but can sometimes be marshy, and abounding in peat which is an accumulation of partially decayed vegetation matter. Yep…that describes it as I truly did feel like a partially decayed piece of vegetative matter for sure…that is until just a few hours ago.  It is so weird how it happens. Literally, it is like someone simply lifted the veil between myself and time, and suddenly there I was once again amongst the living.  Now, if I liked the stuff, I might have me a nip of a good Scottish Whiskey, but doubt my stomach would agree with that much celebration, nor would my lack of energy support me in dancin’ a jig.

The news, which I could categorize as ‘good’ seeing as I’m looking for the bright side here, and thinking if I’m going to be down anyway, I might as well be DOWN, is that I developed an infection of the left (it isn’t really a breast, now is it?) mound (OK, so why did the jingle for Mounds just play inside of my head?). It was pretty painful and quite attractive, so Greg called the plastic surgeon who called in a prescription for antibiotics Sat. morning.  When I saw the Doc this morning, he explained how easily that could happen with my immune system being so compromised and told me he was glad we hadn’t waited to contact him. Whew!!!!

So on a beautiful sunny evening…yes it is still sunny at 6:20 pm…I’m happy to report that this member of Clan Montgomery is amongst the living once again. Slainte Mhah (Good Health)!!!

Hey Puppylove- We must have posted at the same time....mine is right above yours.

Loving You Sweetie!!!!

Good Afternoon Angel Watchers,
OK, so this one is kicking me in the butt!!!!!  I’m usually feeling a lot better by now, but I literally have so little energy I can’t stand it!

On a smiley note, I just watched a small Fitch take a blossom right off the tree outside my window and fly off with it as if preparing for a rendevous with his love.  

Thinking of you all, and those sweet babies!!!!

SIS Kimberly 

{{{{{SIS}}}}} Sorry been away for a while and did not see My

YEP! Thats me, always trying to get in trouble HEHE!!

Love You all, dont know when I will be back, but know I LOve and pray for all of You Always!

Gods Speed; Puppy

It's a new day dawning, angels-watched-over friends!! A new season. A whole new attitude.

Puppylovey: couldn't let you be the most sophisticated -- sharing all of those encouraging pics. They taught me how to do this, over on the beach thread!!

This is a sunrise over the Atlantic, when we were down in FL last month.

KimberSIS: sending you the wear-with-all to keep putting one foot in front of the other. You are gonna thrive, not just survive. Keep your eyes on the finch -- there are lessons there.

Norm: sending you a feeling of being "understood"..... even when I have no idea what you're going thru at any given moment..... know that I care that you are having to endure this incredible lonliness and the stark contrast to how you envisioned this spring unfolding. Your angels are going to be sending even more signs of their watching over you.... you're gonna see their handprints in the world all around you.

Hugs, encouragement, jelly beans and sweet -- sweet treasures for the weekend ahead. Know that I hold the three of you in my prayers. Asking for you each to receive just what you need: clarity, strength, joy, insight and enthusiasm for the future.

Of course we can all share the Finch, and here's to soft bunnies, laughing children, brightly colored eggs, a sun shining down upon us, chocolate and jelly beans (dark cholcolate and black jelly beans are my favs).
