Lots of other things, non sewing, too. Youngest graduates end of next week, and lots of family will be here. Darn, I'll have to put up my sewing machine for a while. Oh to have a 'real' sewing room.Cheryl's Teapots2Quiltinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01005480747596617459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-20496729993257987022012-05-15T12:04:38.782-05:002012-05-15T12:04:38.782-05:00I am in awe of your love and devotion to such a gr...I am in awe of your love and devotion to such a great ministry. I believe that I found you by no accident but by the grace of God. It is good to have quilter friends with deep faith showing God's love to His people in such a special way. My husband is fighting for his life now. After 13 years of struggling with non-hodgkins lymphoma he is now battling MDS which is a disease of the bone marrow caused by all the chemo and treatment he has had in the past. He has had two bone marrow transplants. He had a non-related donor transplant in Dec in Dallas at Baylor. The marrow is failing now and we are doing all possible to keep him alive with blood and platelets until another drug, Dacogen, has time to work and suppress the MDS and allow the donor marrow to work. You can read all of our story on www.caringbridge.org....site name is jeffreydsmith. Jeff has several quilts that are special but a couple of weeks ago my college roommate sent him a quilt from their "Prayers and Square" ministry. It is on the Caring Bridge site. Quilt ministries are GREAT and really do comfort the patient with their warmth and love. I have been comforted just by reading your blog and following your ministry. May God richly bless you in all that you do to help the sick and dying.

I really want you to know that reaching out to families, especially given how isolating dealing with a child's health crisis is, makes a tremendous difference in our lives. Those are by far te darkest days of our live and even child's homemade card was a beacon of light during those days. I can only imagine how moved families are by your gift of quilts. <br /><br />May you and your ministry continue to be blessed. <br />CarynCarynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333063226472904422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-80585157230802606672012-05-15T09:41:14.276-05:002012-05-15T09:41:14.276-05:00I just wanted to pop in and tell you how touched I...I just wanted to pop in and tell you how touched I am by your devotion to this ministry. My husband I were foster parents in a group that dealt exclusively with medically fragile children. We adopted four of our daughters. One had a liver transplant at a year old and continues intestinal rehabilitation. Two were born at 26 weeks, weighing less than two pounds each and have had long-term issues related to extreme prematurity. My community doesn't have a program like yours, but groups would occasionally do small service projects. Hospital time with kids is really hard. Especially with transplant children... wait times can be a year or more and intensive post-care is a minimum of four months, plus lifetime health care... Who oftentimes live at the hospital durin te whole process. Our daughter had over 20 surgeries and didn't leave the hospital until she was 16 months old. Life becomes so distorted during those times and it can be incredibly isolating. It really is difficult to understand unless your living it. Anyway, you've inspired me to start a program with our local transplant team. I would have treasure a quilt that my fighter could have had from the beginning of her transplant journey and would especially like to support those families that are just starting this journey with their children. My other thought was it might be nice to have a large blank section on the back of the quilts and provide a fabric safe pen, so all the professionals that contribute to a child's care can sign it. I would love to be able to contact people who cared for our daughter before we knew her and let them know how well she's doing and how grateful we are for the loving care they provided her when she was all alone.Carynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18333063226472904422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-79524166376844847722012-05-15T08:34:29.533-05:002012-05-15T08:34:29.533-05:00Gosh Sarah!
