in butterflyday •  5 years ago 

Hi everyone! I haven't missed a week of Thursday is Butterfly Day and Insect Day Giveaway in 30 weeks but I must postpone Week -31 for this coming Thursday, 10-10.

My brother's wife has been in the hospital for the past 2 weeks. She was scheduled for surgery today, 10-9 but she took a turn for the worse and the surgery was postponed. I need to be with them during this difficult time. Thanks in advance for understanding.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see all of you on 10-17 for Thursday is Butterflyday and Insect Day Giveaway- Week 31.

I'm so sorry to hear about your brothers wife @whatisnew! Thoughts and prayers to your brothers wife and everyone there! 💞

Thanks so much @deerjay! My SIL is finally out of ICU and on the mend now. I just posted Week 31. : )

You are welcome @whatisnew and that is great news!! Beautiful week 31!! 💖

No worries. Family always come first. Hope everything turns out well!

Thanks Melinda! My poor SIL has been through hell and is still in the hospital but is finally on the mend now. I just posted Week 31. : )

I remember you mentioned in a earlier post you were going to be unavailable one day this week. It's best your sister-in-law's surgery was postponed rather than doctors rushing in prematurely @whatisnew and as Melinda said, family comes first! 🙏@prayerchain #prayerwarriors

Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers @ninahaskin! My SIL is still in the hospital but is finally on the mend now. I just posted Week 31. : )

That's terrific news! I'll continue to keep her in my prayers as I understand she has a long road to recovery ahead of her. Thank you for tagging me with the update and glad you're back! @whatisnew💕

Thanks so much for the continued prayers. Yes, she has a long recovery ahead of her with everything she has been through but at least we can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks again! Hugs!

Hoping and praying everything's ok my dear friend @whatisnew!
Thinking of you and your family! Hugs! ❤

Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers my dear friend @shasta! My SIL has been through hell and back. She is still in the hospital but is out of ICU, and finally on the mend now. I just posted Week 31. I hope all is well with you. : )

Thank God! That is so awesome to hear ❤ @whatisnew!
Hope you get some rest, all that can sure wear you out!
Week 31 🐞 🌹 Woohoo!! :-)

Oh! I'm so sorry to hear that your brother's wife got difficult time. I prayed for her and do hope she gets well very soon. I'm always with you, my dear sis!

Thanks so much for your thoughts and prayers my dear sis! I sure do appreciate it. My brother's wife is still in the hospital but in a regular room now and finally getting better, slowly but surely. : )

You are much welcome! I do hope that she comes back home with a healthy body very soon. ;)

That is my wish too. Hopefully she will leave the hospital on Monday and go to a nursing home/rehab facility and will probably need to stay there for one month. I just remembered about your mom. Didn't she break her hip? How is your Mom doing now? I hope she is doing well. : )

I'm glad to hear that and do hope she gets well soon.

Thanks so much for your kind concern about my mom. Her hip was broken. Luckily that the doctor can replace artificial bone instead of the broken one. She is fine and can walk now. Many thanks again! ;)

Thanks for the great news about your mom. You made me smile. : )

Many thanks once again! And you made me smile, too! ^___^

Hope all goes well, good sister inlaw...

Thanks Mike! She is still in the hospital but out of ICU, and finally on the mend now. : )

Good news ,,,

Howdy Butterfly! This was 6 days ago, how is she doing now? And how are you doing?

Howdy jonboy! My poor SIL has been through hell and back but is out of ICU and beginning a slow recovery. It all began when she fell and fractured her knee. She spent 3 days in the hospital and was then transferred to a nursing home/rehab facility while waiting for her heart doctor to approve surgery. She has Afib (sp?). During her short time in the nursing home she fell out of her wheel chair. How in the hell do you fall out of a wheel chair when all you are doing is sitting in it with one leg propped up?!?! That is when everything went downhill and none of the stories were adding up. The nursing home called when she fell out of the wheel chair but said that she was fine and there were no injuries. We get there and her right eye was black and blue and swollen shut and she was saying that her right side was hurting, and that she had troubles breathing. Called the doc at the hospital and had her transferred that evening back to the hospital. 5 of her ribs were broken on her right side, punctured a lung and was filling up with blood so they had to put a chest tube in to drain and to help her breath. Remember, no surgery on her knee was performed yet. A day later she goes into convulsions and she almost died. They had to put her on a respirator for 3 days. We found out that the nursing home put her on 2 of their own pain meds along with her own meds, without telling my brother. The docs think that is what caused the convulsions. Before the convulsions started, she didn't recognize anyone and was talking out of her mind. To make a longer story shorter, she had her knee surgery a couple of days ago, out of the ICU and is beginning to heal now. Praise God!!!!! My SIL is strong and not in bad health so everything that she went through shocked all of us, even the doctors. Hope all is well with you jonboy and thanks for your concern.

Holy smokes! My gosh what a trial to have to go through. If you guys hadn't gotten her back to the hospital she probably would have died. The nursing home thought she would be fine? wow, that's scary.

Thanks so much for the catch up, I can see why you haven't had time to be on steemit for awhile!

Hope all is well with your brother's wife and the surgery when well take your time family comes first we understand..Take care 👍

Thanks so much @hangin! She is still in the hospital but in a regular room now and getting better, slowly but surely. I just posted Week 31. : )
