Another Manic Monday

Thanks to all of you who asked after me while I was out. Having the flu bug was not any fun. That’s twice this year and well I hope done for. Seems like I missed an entire week and it’s starting to show. Blogs are a bit like children, you have to spend time with them in order to nurture their growth. So, for last week, I was a bad parent. (sorry)

This week, I’ll be doing a little bit of housekeeping on all my blogs. Remarkable Bloggers©.com will open sometime this month. Thanks for all your support of this project through your comments and emails. I’m looking forward to the blog’s grand opening, though I’ll miss what it’s brought to this site, being in its own home will be great!

I owe Laura Williams an apology, with family illness, tornadoes and my own flu bug, I didn’t get her review finished to publish last month. I promise its coming soon.

Remarkable News ©

I popped in at Nathan and Tricia’s blog yesterday, and I found out some wonderful news! Tricia has gone through the ordeal of a double lung transplant (a 9 hour surgery) with flying colors apparently. Sadly, someone else lost their life earlier Wednesday. Nonetheless, their lungs were a good match for Tricia. All the details of the surgical wait and post-op progress are available on their blog. Keep them all (Nate, Tricia, Gwyneth, and all their extended families) in your prayers. This transplant isn’t a cure, but it has extended Tricia’s life and improved her quality of life, so that she can enjoy what time she has with her husband, daughter and family. (I didn’t know that the life expectancy of a double lung transplant recipient was only 6-7 years. Sounds so short) My bout with the flu seems so insignificant when I read what this incredibly strong woman has gone through.

For the hundred or so of you who answered my request for interviews with Adult Adoptees, please be patient with me. I’m writing to all of you. I don’t send out mass emails, so it’s gonna take some time. Thanks

Into Each Life…

A little rain must fall.Well, along the Mississippi River we’ve been blessed with rain, rain and more rain. Friday, we experienced 5, yes 5 tornadoes. Fortunately, the only thing that we lost, was power. Others didn’t fare so well. The Clarion Ledger, has lots of pictures and more information on the damages to Vicksburg and the Jackson, Ms metro areas and efforts to clean up and rebuild; as well as information on the flooding from the Mississippi and Yazoo rivers in the area.

That’s about it . I’ll be back tomorrow with more from the wire. Have a Great and Wonderful Day!
