Girls-Only Trip ~ Old planning thread, see first post for new link

[BillyFan]

I just don't know what to do with myself. I keep checking back here to see if there's any news.
Cheryl, I keep thinking about you, too. Hang in there.

 

[tinkermell]

Ladies, I have to be gone this weekend. I hate like heck that I need to be gone, but it can not be helped.

I am going to try and find a computer to catch up, and in the meantime Cheryl is going to keep me informed.

Not good news I'm afraid.

Dawn had a seizure last night and pulled out her oxygen tube. They are watching her to determine if there has been brain damage because they aren't sure how long she went without oxygen. I'll let you know more as soon as I hear anything.

this makes me sooo sad to read, as well as the update I read the disboards earlier today, but when I was reading my facebook and saw many of your personal lines...I knew there must be more news since this morning, so I jumped over here! As some of you know...my 3rd son, Parker has epilepsy and has had 1,000's of seizures during his lifetime so far. I hope and pray that they can get her stabilized, so she can fight. For now, we can help her fight with the might of prayer, and any other types of powerful and positive thoughts!

Hugs to you all, as well as Dawn's family, during these difficult times of waiting!

Take care, Mel. We all apreciate everything you are doing. I will get a package for Dawn out to you tomorrow.

Ladies: I will be updating both this thread and the one on the community board whenever I hear additional news about Dawn.

 

[WebmasterMaryJo]

Thank you, Cheryl.

Praying for Dawn

 

[MommyWithDreams]

Sitting here reading all these messages about Dawn is just amazing. Thoughts for her are stretching across from West to East coast. She is going to be one grateful lady when she comes through this. Grateful and lucky to have such a support system. You ladies are really amazing.

 

[DizNee Luver]

I can't tell you how deeply this has affected me.....I've never met Dawn & haven't really had conversations with her....but reading her comments in the Diva thread has enlightened me on how wonderful she must be. Reading the forwarded letter from her husband was gut-wrenching & heartbreaking. I cry every time I think about what she & the family are going thru. I will continue to pray for her strength to come back & fight this. My candle is lit as well.

Just got back from seeing New Moon...really loved the movie but I couldn't help but think of Dawn several times during the movie.

Dawn - Thinking of you tonight even though there was a HOT 17 year old warewolve on the big screen! Sending postitive, healing thoughts your way!! And hugs to Miss Sally and your Bob and keeping you all in my thoughts. I held my Bob's hand a little tighter tonight thinking of you and your Bob.

Cheryl - Please know that you have a lot of Diva friends who are sending thoughts your way too. There is nothing worse then feeling so helpless with a dear friend is in such need. Hugs to you!

 

[QueenDoOver]

for everyone on facebook, Ms. Sally is beside herself with worry. Please send her good thoughts and such.

I can't begin to tell you how hard today was--thank you Mel for posting Bob's email--I couldn't bring myself to do it. I do know that the family met at Ms. Sally's today as Bob is finally out of quarantine.

I can't believe that a few short months ago I had never met Dawn "in person." She has made such an impact on me I cannot tell you all in words. She is truly one of my best friends, along with Brandy, Linda and a few others.

Brandy and I were talking today about the effect it had on us, and we cannot imagine what Bob, Sally and the rest of her family must be going through. We laughed today about Dawn calling Bob "her boyfriend" and how it confused a lot of people who didn't realize "her boyfriend" was really Bob her husband. they were here for my Fourth of July bbq and both fit like in as if they had been friends/family forever.

the guy in the office next door to my office is a part-time psychic healer--when he's not being a plumbing engineer. (I know--sounds wacky-he just told me this a few weeks ago) I actually went next door to his office today to ask him to send healing thoughts to Dawn. I'm ready to try anything.

Ladies, please keep the prayers and thoughts going. I am also doing visualization and visualizing Dawn in her pj's at next year's Meet and Greet!

I don't know how to talk to Miss Sally on Facebook. Can you tell me?

I am praying for Dawn and just shocked that she is still having to fight so hard. I will also visualize her at the meet and greet, but I am going with jammies and her sparkly minnie ears.
Thank you Cheryl for posting. I know it is hard.

I just wanted to let you all know that I'm thinking of Dawn ,but also all of you who are friends with her. I haven't been on the boards in a few days and I came on hoping to find some good news. I have to admit that if feels a little odd to be hurting so bad for someone I've only met once, but in one meeting it was easy to see what a kind, sweet, inspirational woman Dawn is.

Hugs to everyone. If I'm feeling this way, I can only imagine how those close to her are feeling.

I'm still fervently praying for Dawn. She is such a beautiful and loving person. I go to bed with her in my head and on my heart.

I love you Dawn, you're such a warm and welcoming person! We need more people like you in this world!

 

[disney-inspired]

I just wanted to post something sweet before I go to bed.


God willing everything goes smoothly and she isn't sick or have serious behavioral problems, we may be adding this cutie to our family tomorrow.

Good night.

I hope no one thinks that I don't think Dawn's situation isn't important. This is just my way of keeping myself distracted because if I don't I'll just sit here and my worries will overwhelm me. Dawn, I'm praying right now!

Oh Cristabel now THOSE are puppy eyes! So cute! I've been watching and waiting on Facebook for the post that you did get a new furry family member!
Everyone knows how important Dawn's situation is, but like Beth said we still need to think happy thoughts. It would be what she'd want as well.

I hope everyone has a good Saturday! We're taking my football loving boy to the Sac State Football game. He has NEVER been to a football game and the kid LOVES football, thanks to Chris. The kid can tell you what is a good play and what isn't. It's funny to hear him talk football "jive". LOL

Fingers crossed for good news today regarding Dawn. I'll be thinking of her.

 

[kelmac284]

Good morning and happy saturday all!

Cristabel what a cute puppy! I hope you DO end up getting him/her! I know when I lost my kitten years ago I ended up getting another one right away and sometimes it helps. I know sometimes you can't replace your pets but sometimes it helps to bring another pet into your home to feel that awful void your other loved pet left! He/she looks precious and I hope it all works out!

((hugs)) to cheryl! I know how worried you must be and how hard this must be for you as well. I have only met Dawn twice but I feel like I know her so well through talking on the boards and through pm's. This whole thing just has me sick with worry about her. I can only imagine how overwhelmed her family must be.

This is probably a moot point but I was thinking whether or not she was signed up for the christmas card exchange or not we should all send her one regardless. I think she would like that. Besides all the other stuff I think that would make her feel good to get a card from all the people who were going to do it anyway. Just a thought but I think it would be nice to do eventhough she probably won't be able to participate I know I for one would like to send her a card!

Anyway we went to the harvest festival yesterday and mom and I were able to find Tye dye shirts. They aren't "disney" looking but they are tye dye so at least that's done! We had fun and got lots of fun stuff. I got an ornament that has these adorable little penguins and the lady personalized it for me and wrote mom, dad, Katy and Shelby on each penguin and then Our family name and the year on the bottom. It is REALLY cute! They had little snowmen, Christmas trees with angels and several other designs you could personalize. It was neat! We also got these AWESOME caramel apples that probably weigh about 20 lbs each LOL and probably are about 12 million calories but they are YUM. have tons of choc caramel and lots of other goodies all over them!!

I tell you though I almost feel guilty having a good time knowing our poor Dawn is so sick. I so want to come on here and hear good news!!

Many continued prayers to her and her family and I am going to put in another prayer request at church tomorrow!

Hope everyone else has a good day!

Hi all...I've been battling DIS for weeks now. Often I can't get it to load. Frequently, even when I can get it to load, I can't reply. That's been why I've been MIA.
I've been able to keep up what was happening with Dawn and I am just so sad! Sending hugs to her family and all my DIS friends here who are sick with worry.
I wanted you all to know, since you have been so supportive that I did find out yesterday that I didn't pass the bar. I know more for taking it next time, though.

 

[MommyWithDreams]

Is it too late to get in on the Christmas card exchange? Not sure how I missed that.

 

[cheshiregirl]

Here's a prayer to the universe... Please let today be better than yesterday.

Good morning girlies. I sure do hope we get some good news about Dawn today.

Cristabel--super-cute puppy!

Michelle-- I'm sorry about the bar. But like you said, now you'll be more prepared for next time.

Janelle--just PM Cristabel with your address to get on the Christmas card list.
