A New Card - Finally

If you have been following my blog, you know we have been rather busy with the birth of our new granddaughter. Well, Saturday I finally got to do some stamping. I stamped all morning in my pajamas. I didn't even get dressed until late afternoon, then I gave the dog a bath and then I needed a bath so about an hour later I was back in my pajamas.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this card I made. I used one of my new sets - Inspired By Nature.

I am still hoping to have an open house, I am looking at October 10th or 11th. Maybe even both days. So let me know if either of these days will work for you.

Thanks

Kim

Update on Hydi

Hi everyone,

I want to thank everyone who has been praying for our Hydi. Other than the birthmarks, she's doing really well. She did see a specialist at St.Louis Children's Hospital last Friday. They did another ultrasound on her liver, brain and spleen. She does have the hemangiomas (the birthmarks) all over her liver. They have started her on a medication that is used to treat heart problems. Some doctor discovered that this medicine shrunk the hemangiomas as well as treating the heart problems.

Hydi goes this Thursday to see an eye specialist at the Children's hospital because she has one on the colored part of her eye.

Here is a picture of Hydi and Papa (my husband) and the picture of Hydi by herself is one of Brandy's (Hydi's mom) favorite pictures.



Please pray that this medicine stops her birthmarks from growing and keeps her from getting anymore. If the medicine doesn't work, the next option may be steroids.


I also want to thank Aubrey Benson, who saw the post about Hydi's birthmarks on this blog and posted a comment. I then emailed Aubrey and she pointed me to a website that has a lot of information about this condition. We sent an email to a doctor in New York that is the leading expert in hemangiomas, and we received an email today that he would be contacting us either by phone or email within the next 2 days.


Again, thank you all for your prayers, and please keep praying.

Please keep praying....

Hydi, our new grandbaby (see previous posts) has an appointment this Friday at the Children's Hospital in St.Louis, so please keep her in prayer. She is going to see a specialist about her birthmarks.

I will keep you updated as soon as we learn more.

Other than the birthmarks, she is doing very well. I will post some more pictures soon.
