Why the blog??

So...I've been waiting and waiting on when and how to create a blog. Well, a few months ago, my mom kept encouraging me to start and I kept on making the same 'ole excuses...well mom...here you go! She just had to go get sick...but I must say during the last four days, I've had no better therapy than writing the updates via Facebook for all of our family and friends on her progress.

Then this morning...it hit me...she did it again...my mom taught me another lesson about life and she's not even aware of it! I have been given the inspiration to finally start my blog! I know what it will be about and even better...what it's going to be called!

So...Mama's Update will begin as status updates on my mom's progress while she's in the hospital in order to keep those updates happening and for those friends and family that are not on Facebook.

Once she is better and doing well...this blog will continue with me as the mama...giving you updates on what crafts, projects, and other things I am doing as a mama with my 3 beautiful kiddos!

So...here's to the new blog...Mama's Update. I hope you enjoy and subscribe as in the near future...I'll assist you on the successes and misses of Pinterest ideas I've tried, as well as other tutuorials in sewing, organizing, and even budgeting!

Thanks mama...you'll never really know how much you inspire me every day!!

Strength… #forthewrightreasons

August 21, 2019…it was just another time of crazy happening…this time to fix the 99% blockage in your heart. I was scared.  The odds were stacked against you. It was then that you held me in your arms, and comforted me instead of the other way around. You told me during that embrace that you weren’t scared of the outcome because either way you would be healed on earth or healed and in Heaven. My anxiety was so high and you held me as I cried…you did everything you could to reassure me that there was so much peace in your mind and heart and you showed me what true strength looked like.  We took this picture, because I was afraid it would be the last time I would get to see you. Through my tears you comforted me, as any mother would, but that day, you showed me what compassion felt like. You fought so hard those next few days - especially the next, when you coded from losing so much blood...you fought so hard the following 6 months for everything to be the best you could make it.  Little

Mom update (Monday): the doctor's keep saying she's doing well. She is breathing on her own for a while then when it becomes too laboring they turn on the oxygen to assist her but its only around 20%. Then they turn it off again and keep going back and forth. The X-rays are not showing any difference on the pneumonia. They say that this is to be expected though with her body being immunosuppressed ... (from the heart transplant). The cardiologist continues to monitor her heart function and says it's doing great! They are trying to give her lasiks to increase her outflow (which is how to get the pneumonia out) but when they do her blood pressure goes too low so they back off. They are optimistic and say it will just take time. Their first goal is to get her stabilized enough to take out the tube. As a family, we appreciate the continued prayers and thoughts. It's been tough knowing that when she does "wake up" that it will be a new year...but as my dad so wond
