It was FREEZING Monday morning (1/20) and I think
my honey was crazy to leave for golfing in Lancaster, but at 9 AM they were on
their way.
I basically moped around all
morning, just waiting for a call from the animal hospital. They finally called at 1 PM….Cookie is in a
very precarious position…she is anemic and has almost no platelets…..they are
90% sure it is an autoimmune disease, but diagnosing that 100% is done by
eliminating other things they can test for.
Between now and probably Wednesday morning she is in a very precarious
position. By Wednesday morning they hope
her platelets will have started to come back, but between now and then she could
bleed out. She hasn’t eaten for 2
days. I remember feeling this same
terror when she was in the hospital as a puppy with parvo. Nothing to do but pray…and I would accept any
of yours!!!
Janice got here:
just after I
talked to the doctor, so I was still crying and she feared the worst….but she
talked me down off of the ledge. She is
here to quilt her ‘southern’ quilt…it is SO BEAUTIFUL!!! I want to go out and buy ALL of her
fabrics. She got the back loaded and the
top all basted:
and (after a quick trip to Hobby Lobby to buy a king sized
batting), we kicked it off.
We stitched
all afternoon and evening. We took a
break for dinner (Elephant Chicken Soup) and a visit from Paula, and by the end
of the evening we were 3/4 of the way done with the quilting.
After baking some rolls to go with Michael’s
soup, I also made chocolate cookie cups:
Michael filled them with cherry pie filling and they got topped with a
little royal icing.
These are a thank
you for the golf course grounds crew and he will deliver them Tuesday morning
on his way to the dentist.
