Tropicals & Tender Perennials:Kell

LOL. Go for it! I just hope it is still alive.

You guys are so sweet. Thanks for thinking of me. Things go up and then go down and then around. My mother is 86 so this has been very hard on her. She doesn't bounce back anymore that quickly. But she is a fighter! She is off the respirator so that is great news in of itself.

Thanks again everyone for caring.

Kell...so good to see you again & to know that your Mom is off the respirator. Believe it or not, yesterday I had planned to find your phone no. and call your DH to find out if your Mom was OK. Seems like you were gone so long from DG!
Please come back as much as you can & let us know how everything is.

CC and Hibiscus and Doris...I have a better idea. So that you won't have to drive so far and wear yourselves out with the long trip to kells, I will go with a truck and do the pick-up!
I was going to say....I would just keep them all, but now I don't have the heart to say it...so, OK I will share! I know it would make you all so sad. :-(

Hey, you guys would be my husband's heroes. He would be thrilled. He probably would help you and open the house so you could get all the seedlings too. Poor guy, I had to give him directions the other day on how to plant up the seedlings in rockwool to dirt. They could wait no more for my return. I haven't asked him if they survived or not! LOL

My problem is I am supposed to be at the hospital at 10 AM. I am goofing off a bit today. And often I do not get back home till 10:30 or 11 at night. I have a hard time sleeping so I sleep too late in the morning then have to dash. I am usually just to tired or blah to chat. The visiting hours for the ICU are split up so I am either in the unit or in the ICU waiting room waiting to go in. Sometimes I walk down the main street and eat or window shop between visiting hours. But sometimes it is too wet, snowy or cold. Though today is just beautiful!

Thanks for all your good thoughts and your humor! You make me smile!

Margie, your'e all heart, so good of you to "remember" us!

Kell, she sounds like she's pretty strong, so maybe if they get everything working(heart, kidneys, etc.), she will do just fine. Hope you can get her out of there soon, and back home, with some nurses coming to house to help her. Take care.....don't let yourself get too rundown!
