PLEASE PRAY FOR SAVANNAH GRACE

THESE LITTLE HATS ARE GOING TO BIRMINGHAM. I MET BABY SAVANNAH'S GRANDMOTHER YESTERDAY. SHE WAS BORN UNDER THE SAME CIRCUMSTANCES AS LITTLE HUNTER. SHE WAS BORN MARCH 12 AND WEIGHTED 1.8 AND WAS 11 3/4 INCHES LONG.PLEASE PRAY FOR HER .

PREEMIE EASTER BASKETS

I WANTED TO MAKE BABY HUNTER A BASKET FOR EASTER. THIS IS WHAT I CAME UP WITH. I USED THE LITTLE BOXES AND FOAM LETTERS THAT MY SISTER-IN-LAW VICKIE GAVE ME . WITH THE SCRAP-BOOK PAPER JUDY GAVE ME FOR MY BIRTHDAY I MADE THE EGGS. THEN I GOT TO THINKING ABOUT THE OTHER BABIES SO I MADE 11 MORE BASKETS. I PUT A PREEMIE HAT AND EASTER EGG IN EACH BASKET. I STILL NEED TO GET HATS IN MOST OF THE BASKETS. I JUST HAD TO POST THIS PICTURE OF THEM.

PLEASE KEEP BABY HUNTER IN YOUR PRAYERS. I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE A LONG NIGHT FOR HIS FAMILY.

UPDATE ON BABY HUNTER

HUNTER'S FIGHT FOR LIFE GOT HARDER LAST NIGHT. HE HAS DEVELOPED AN INFECTION. THEY ARE PUTTING A DRAINAGE TUBE INTO HIS INTESTINE TO DRAIN OFF THE INFECTION. PLEASE KEEP THIS TINY BABY IN YOUR PRAYERS.

NEED YOUR PRAYERS

HUNTER ANDREW NEEDS YOUR PRAYERS. I THINK HE WAS BORN 3-8-08. HE WAS BORN WEIGHING 1.5 GAINED UP TO 1.7 AND LOST DOWN TO 1.3. HE GOT HIS FIRST TASTE OF BREAST MILK TODAY. HE DID JUST FINE WITH IT. I KNOW HE'LL START GAINING WEIGHT NOW AND BE JUST FINE.
MY FRIENDS AT RAINBOW CROCHET AND I ARE GETTING HIM A CARE PACKAGE TOGETHER.

UPDATE ON HATS FOR ST. JUDE

WE HAD 11 LADIES WHO CROCHETED 330 HATS FOR ST. JUDE THIS YEAR. THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO DONATED YARN AND CROCHETED. WE COULDN'T HAVE DONE IT WITHOUT YOU TO SEE ALL THE HATS GO HERE. THANKS AGAIN.

STILL BUSY

I LOVE MAKING THESE LITTLE QUILTS. THEY DO COST MORE TO MAKE BUT THEY ARE SO FAST. THE COST OF THIS ONE IS NEARLY $12.00.

OUR FRIENDS RODNEY AND NINA RAISED $83.00 AND GAVE IT TO ME TO MAKE THINGS FOR CHARITY. I HAVE TO ADMIT I DID CRY. THEY FOUND THEIR WAY TO HELP OTHERS. WE ALL HAVE A SPECIAL GIFT INSIDE FOR HELPING OTHERS FEEL BETTER. THE PICTURE BELOW IS THE START OF SPEADING THEIR GIFT AROUND. THANKS RODNEY, NINA AND FRIENDS.

I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE SHOWED WHAT I BOUGHT WITH WHAT I MADE. OH WELL NEXT TIME. THIS WAS MADE USING THREE KINDS OF FLANNEL, GREEN BABY YARN AND RIBBON FOR THE BURIAL GOWNS. I'LL DO BETTER NEXT TIME.

4 26X36 FLANNEL BLANKETS
16 SMALL BURIAL BLANKETS
2 PREEMIE HATS
1 BOYS BURIAL SUIT
I'M STILL WORKING ON SEWED BURIAL GOWNS , BOOTIES, BONNETS, A BOYS CROCHETED BURIAL OUTFIT AND PREEMIE HATS.

MY COCOA HAD TO HAVE INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR MONDAY. THEY LET US BRING HER HOME LATER THAT EVENING. ME BEING A GOOD MOMMIE I PUT MY TOP MATTRESS IN THE LIVING ROOM FLOOR WHERE IT STILL IS NOW. SHE SLEEPS WITH US. SHE CAN'T JUMP SO TO BE SAFE I SLEEP IN THE FLOOR WITH HER AND HER DADDY SLEEPS IN THE RECLINER AND ON THE COUCH. FOR 2 1/2 DAYS I SAT IN THE FLOOR RUBBING HER HEAD. WELL TODAY I NOTICED THAT SHE WAS SWELLING AROUND HER BREAST. SO WE WENT TO SEE HER DR. I JUST KNEW I HAD LET HER HURT HERSELF. I LET HER DR. SEE WHERE SHE WAS SWOLLEN AT AND SHE FELT OF HER, LOOKED AT ME AND SAID SHE HAS MILK. "DO WHAT" I SAID. SHE THEN SHOWED ME THAT SHE DID HAVE MILK. I MEAN I SAW IT. THE ONLY BOYFRIEND SHE HAS IS HER TEDDY BEAR. I KNOW HE'S BEEN FIXED BECAUSE I'VE SEWED HIM UP ENOUGH TIMES. SHE TOLD ME IT COULD BE THAT HER HORMONES ARE GOING CRAZY BECAUSE OF THE STRESS OF EVERYTHING SHE'S BEEN THROUGH. I'M TO WATCH HER AND LET HER KNOW IF SHE STOPS EATING. THIS CAN BE THE START OF SOMETHING MORE SERIOUS THAN A FALSE PREGNANCY.
SHE GOES BACK TO SEE HER DR. THURSDAY. UNTIL THEN I'M IN THE FLOOR.

TWO BOYS BURIAL OUTFITS

THIS LITTLE OUTFIT IS SEWED. I COULDN'T FIND A PATTERN FOR BOOTIES SO I MADE ME ONE. I HOPE THEY ARE WEARABLE.

THIS IS ANOTHER BOYS OUTFIT ONLY IT'S CROCHETED. I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE IRONED THE BLANKET BEFORE I TOOK THE PICTURES.

I HAVE ABOUT 7 MORE SEWED OUTFITS ABOUT HALF WAY FINISHED. I LIKE TO CUT OUT ALL I CAN THEN SEW THE FIRST STEP ON ALL OF THEM .IT'S LIKE SEWING ON AN ASSEMBLY LINE. IT WORKS FOR ME AND IT SEEMS FASTER TO.

WITH THE HATS I MADE AND THE ONES THAT MY CYBER FRIENDS SENT ME I HAD 121 HATS TO TURN IN. THANKS EVERYONE. YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IT MEANT TO ME.
