Thanks Debbie...I was thinking of you on Sunday when I was picking up a few things at Safeway...they have the Wheat Thins Stix!!! Not sure if you know that!!

Wonderful news! Very Happy for you! :goodvibes

Thank you thank you thank you....hope we all can get together soon and just relax and have a great meal or some time in Assiniboine Park!!!

Awesome news.

Thank you my friend:hug:when I was reading your PTR the other day there and you posted the pic of us from last year it brought a tear to my eye:hug:

I am all teary eyed after reading your post. I am so happy to hear that your mom made it through and even happier to hear she is surrounded by angels

Continued prayers going out to your family

Thank you Dawn...you guys have been amazing through all of this and words just don't seem enough. I hope we are still able to meet up in August but we're still playing it day by day:thumbsup2

:littleangel: fantastic news. All is well <3

Hey my sweet girl:hug: Sending you love and hope we can chat soon!

I'm so happy that you have good news to share!

You have been through a tough time lately, I'm glad you have many friends praying for your DMom and lending thier support.

How awesome that she has many angels with her!

I wish her better days ahead.

Take Care, you are in my prayers.

Thanks hon!:hug:We have amazing friends and we are truly blessed! Thank you for keeping us in your prayers and we will continue to give updates!



I am so glad everything went okay! I will continue to keep your family in my prayers :hug:


Thanks sweetie....nothing better than hugs...I'm a hugger so be prepared!!!:rotfl2: Thanks for keeping us in your prayers...hope all is well!

What a comfort for your family to know your mom is being watched over!

I hope the recovery continues smoothly. :hug:

It gave me such a sense of peace the morning of her surgery that I had zero concern about her going into it. I just knew everything was going to be ok! She said there was a woman with dark hair holding her hand during the surgery and she thought it was her mom....that made me cry thinking of my Gran.

:grouphug::littleangel: (No words needed)

You're right my dear friend....no words are needed between friends:hug:

yeah for good news!!!!:cool1:

It is awesome isn't it?

YEAH!! glad to hear she's doing better!!!

:cool1:

Thanks hon...I feel like I could do a little dance...maybe I will:banana:

Queen that is great news! I'm so happy to be reading that your mum is doing better and I am def one of the 98% that believes it was angels looking after your mum :goodvibes
I had a feeling you might be one of the 98% percent...just girls intuition on my part:hug: I was thinking of you yesterday as my aunt was flying in from Scotland....she's bringing me Thornton's Toffee...I can't wait...I am addicted to the stuff:cloud9:

Glad to hear that great news :goodvibes

Thanks sweetie!:hug:
 
:rotfl2: I had to laugh at the angels versus morphine post! :rotfl2: Is it OK to say that I believe both? I definitely believe in angels, but maybe, just maybe, the morphine makes them a little easier to see!:cloud9:

I heard your mom is off the ventilator and has reasonable blood gases considering her valve disease! :thumbsup2 I hope things continue to go well! :flower3:
It is totally ok to say you believe in both...my BFF said when she had her liver surgery that watermelons were talking to her somedays and other days it was long passed relatives...so yes I believe in both too:lmao:

Yes she is off the ventilator and let me tell you she has 4 days of talking to make up and she was doing a heck of a job last night yakking:lmao:

I hope they continue to go well too, but having the heart surgery looming over our heads still makes me so nervous. Thanks for everything ME...you have been a godsend to us all:hug:
 
Yes she is off the ventilator and let me tell you she has 4 days of talking to make up and she was doing a heck of a job last night yakking:lmao:

This is great news that Mom is off the ventilator and making up for lost time with talking! I love it. :goodvibes
 
I am new here and hope you don't mind me reading along.

I am glad your mom is okay. ~~~~~ HEALING VIBES ~~~~~

It was wonderful! My mom is quite the talker so I think that was the hardest thing for her:lmao: It feels good to laugh again:thumbsup2

I am new here and hope you don't mind me reading along.

I am glad your mom is okay. ~~~~~ HEALING VIBES ~~~~~

Hello....and WELCOME! We would love for you to read along with us....I am going to get a post up tonight...it's time we started being optimistic about this trip and get another update done!! Thanks again for your good wishes!!:hug:

You have perfect girls intuition then! :thumbsup2

Aaw thank you for thinking of me :hug: Lol yes Thornton's toffee can be addictive! :cloud9: I tend to stay away from the stuff as I end up eating the whole thing myself! :laughing:

Hope your aunt has a relaxing flight. I'm also very pleased to hear that your mom is off the ventilator and now talking! Enjoy spending some time with her.
 
Thanks Debbie...I was thinking of you on Sunday when I was picking up a few things at Safeway...they have the Wheat Thins Stix!!! Not sure if you know that!!


Hi! No I didn't know that!! But that's awesome!! :thumbsup2
I will have to look for them there. Let me know if you want me to pick up the ones you purchased for me or if you want to eat them yourself.!!! :rotfl:
I don't want you to be stuck having paid for something you didn't want!

Hope things continue to go well with your mom!!

I could easily eat the whole box....I have learned to freeze it so I can enjoy it for a longer period of time:rolleyes1

It's nice to have my aunt here....she'll be good company for my dad too!!

Don't worry Debbie, I'll be more than happy to eat the ones I picked up for you:rotfl2: Thanks again for all your good wishes:goodvibes
 
Hello friends!!

Everytime I write that I think of my friend Gorett...everytime we go on a girls weekend to the states and we're in Target she always wanders off without realizing she has no clue where we all are...and the next thing we hear ... at the top of her lungs is .... Friends....Friends....where are you:lmao:She cracks me up!

Anyhoodle, I had my first weigh in with my personal trainer on Monday! I am beyond excited at my success...that's right peeps....my success!!! I was down 6 pounds and 12.5 inches!!! I was blown away at the inches....there's something to be said about the whole diet and exercise:rolleyes1 My next weigh in is August 10 and I'm aiming for 8 pounds on that weigh in.not sure how the inches will be next time but I'll take whatever I get:thumbsup2

We have had little time lately to think about our trip but I did decide not to order our Islands of Adventure tickets through airmiles. I don't know if they work the same as the Disney tickets with no expiration so I told the kids we would just buy them if we still go!

Jasmine went today and bought the 2 nail polish colors we both want for the trip so that was another thing crossed off the list! My favorite is Black Cherry Chutney by OPI and Jasmine wanted My chihuahua bites...I love the names they come up with!

I am thinking very positively that we will be going and we have to plan on going...if we don't ... it's all good, but I can't imagine not being prepared and all of a sudden departure day is around the corner! My aunt arrived yesterday from Scotland and is planning on staying until middle of September so at least if my mom's still in the hospital my dad won't be home all by himself...that was bothering me!

We also decided that we would all just get a limo to the airport ... it's cheaper than Peg and family getting a taxi from their end of the city and if we split it it's about $35 each...can't go wrong there. We have to be picked up and at the airport by 4am and we've always found this one limo company to be great...they will pick Peg's family up, drive to our place (15 mintes from Peg) pick us up and drive to the airport (15 minutes from our house) for the same price as picking up one family:banana: That's why they get our repeat business:woohoo:

There you have it...the latest in our crazy lives! I will have another update done on the weekend, hopefully I can start on our second week...as of this coming Sunday....we're at 5 weeks:cool1:
 
Hi Queen! I'm so glad to see that your mom has had her surgery and it went well, despite all the anxiety ahead of time. What a beautiful story about the angels! I really believe it is the most difficult times that strengthen our faith in the world and people around us. Hopefully now your mom will continue to get stronger and better, and you can all focus on your trip! :goodvibes

Dh and I do "Marco" - "Polo" at Target - and then if he can't find me I usually hear, "Baby doll - where are you?!" I love that man!:lmao:
OPI has a new Nail Polish for the new Pirates movie - several actually - I got "Mermaid's Tears" - I think I will go back and get "Sparrow me all the drama" too!Mermaid's tears is an interesting shade of sea green while the other is a muted pink. Nice to hear you be chatting about your trip - planning is at least half of the fun!
 
Okay- im gonna want some limo pics :) I know its early, but even one! Thats an arrival in style

My favorite toe color this time of year is OPI's Dont Know, Beets Me or Strawberry Margarita... But hey - Im a pink type of girl!

xxoo

Good Morning Queen!

I am glad things are still going well with your mom! Prayers are continuing here for her and all of you!! Congrats on the weight loss! You are doing fantastic!! (Can I share some of your will power?!?! LOL) I love OPI polish, and the names! I have to look for that Chihuahua one, Abby would love the name! Love that you are taking a limo to the airport!! Can't wait to see the photos!
 
Lol at the story of your friend calling out when getting lost in the shops! :laughing:

:woohoo: at the weight loss - that is excellent news! Good luck for the next weigh in.

Yay on getting a limo to the airport - you have to make sure you start your holiday with a bang! ;)
 
Congratulations on the weight and inches lost!! You are doing wonderfully!!

You know we're hoping and praying that you all get your wonderful vacation next month! We can't wait to meet the 3 of you! BTW I changed our reservation for breakfast for 5 to breakfast for 7 :)
 
:thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2:thumbsup2 Way to go Queen on the weight and inches loss -- that is absolutely awesome! Good for you.

Have a good weekend my friend. I hope you get a little "relaxation" time and that mom continues to do better.
 
Sorry for being a crappy friend and not checking in more often. It's been kind of a crappy summer for us but we are hopeful as things are looking up the last couple of weeks.

Many congratulations to you on the inches and weight loss. You must be :cloud9:. I am so happy for you!!! I've been working hard on my weight as well. Slowly but surely I'm starting to see some results. :goodvibes

Most importantly, I am thrilled to hear that your Mom is doing well after the first round. She sounds like a really spunky gal. I will continue to pray for you, your Mom and your family.

I have my fingers crossed that you will get to go on your trip!! Take care! :hug::hug::hug::hug: Send hugs to Jas as well!!
 
Just found your PTR & began reading it & I LOVE IT:thumbsup2 Congrats on the weight loss & on your daughter's graduation. Have to ask though, is your daughter still into WDW as much as when she was small? My DD(9) asked me today, "Mom what if when I become a teenager & I no longer want to go to WDW?" I almost cried:sad1: What would I do without my #1 WDW fan? I am guessing thought that her feelings for WDW will never changes as long as I keep the magic alive. Looking forward to following you on your journey.:woohoo:
 
5 weeks to go yay!!!!!

I'll have to pencil you in on my calendar and meet up with you on a weekend day since I'll be off on Sat/Sun. :)
