An update

My DIL is out of immediate danger, she can breathe independently and is out of intensive care. Now comes the slow process of rehabilitation and recovery.  I am so proud of my wonderful Sam who has been so brave and strong throughout.  The way our family and his friends rallied around is testament to how much he and his own little family are loved.

Enormous thanks to all my wonderful bloggy friends for your thoughts, prayers and kind words.  Your kindness and thoughtfulness means a lot.

I now feel ready to get back to stitching and blogging and catching up on everyone's blog posts. I'm looking forward to engrossing myself in lots of lovely sewing and taking a look at what others have been making. See you tomorrow.
