Beautiful Thread Billie.
Good news.... Matthew (my 21 year old nephew) had his second surgery today. They got most of the blood clot out "above the knee". Still some below but think they can deal with that with bloodthinners. (he was hit by a car last weekend) If all go's well he leaves ICU tonight but still will be in the hospital until Saturday or Sunday. He was planning on doing a college "exchange" in New Zealand starting January and I'm sure that will be put on hold. Just thrilled that he seems on the road to recovery. Life is indeed fragile. Have appreciated all your thoughts and prayers.
Thanks, Noosie - it was nice talking to you today.:)
