michaels and Jacob update

fun stuff at michaels!
  I had a pretty quiet weekend. saturday I went to the hospital and to michaels and yesterday I stayed home most of the day, then went to my daughters for fathers day dinner and played with torry pie.   Tony and Vanessa left the hospital and came home for a few hours so they were there too. boy.. did we have some storms!!

Has any one been to michaels lately?  You  should see the new stuff they have for jewelry making there.  really neat stuff!  I bought a couple sets.   Im gonna make a necklace to wear this weekend when I go away to canada !  (well, thats if the baby is ok.)  Have I mentioned about going to Sandy Camardas for a girlies art retreat weekend?  its going to be so nice to hang with natalea, sandy, Lulu, Grace and Tammy!  My gifties are all ready to go and my swap piece is finished and just needing to be wrapped up as pretty as I can make it!  Im picking Lulu up at buffalo airport at 8:00 am on friday morning!! woohoo!!!
please God, let baby Jacob be very very stable this weekend!

In Jacob news, Jacob is now 11 days old!  today they are going to turn up the ventilator and do some other stuff, not sure exactly what, to start preparing him for weaning off the ecmo machine.  JAcob had two very quiet uneventful days of resting and healing.. so hopefully hes ready for this.  Praying praying praying!!  he still has a long way to go.. He will need surgery to take him off the ecmo and also at the same time they will close him up from the surgery he had last monday.  I think thats how it goes..  Dont know what day this will happen.
Im amazed at how the kids keep all of this in their heads and remember the big medical words and terms...  I need it all fed to me in a very simple format!  SEriously!
OK.. so... Im hoping that things go fine and that I can get a full day in at work.  I'm planning on going up there right after work tonight. 
have a great day girls!

Thank you for the continued updates on Jacob. Such a fighter. Continued prayers for ALL of you. I'm glad you are getting away for a crafting weekend. Sounds like the perfect respite. I haven't been to Michael's in weeks. Please share your necklace when it's done. I can't wait to see more!!

No news is good news...thank you for the small blessings. I am glad to see you have retired back to a bit of crafting that has to be stress relieving. I must make a stop at Michael's soon. Have a great week at work and keep it quiet there....smiles..Renee

So glad to hear that Jacob had some quiet days. Healing days. I hope you are able to get away with your friends. You probably need a little break! Have a great day.

I pop in at your blog a couple times a day hoping for bit of news about Jacob. He is on my mind so much. 11 days old! How time flies! What a fighter he is!! What an inspiration he is!!!

Craft on Grandma Whackadoodle!!! Hope you have a great time!

Blessings

Kai said...

You know you should NEVER have called yourself Whackadoodle 'cause it's so freakin' adorable & DOES fit your fun personality! I'm afraid it may just STICK! LOL! On a more serious note, I'm constantly thinking of and sending prayers for Baby Jacob! I hope he shows a HUGE improvement & the news just gets better and better. LOVE YOU, VIVVY! (And stop tempting me to go to Michael's!!!! BWAHAHAHAHA! Really! Those charms are SO COOL!)

Fran said...

My prayers and thoughts are always with Jacob and family. He's a fighter, God love him.
Will have to go to Michael's and check out all the wonderful items
you posted. You know I will have to buy some of those items. :-)
Luv & Hugs
Fran

11 days old... what a blessing :-) The power of prayer huh? Such an awful roller coaster of days your family has had to endure. One day... he will be running around joyfully giggling with his cousins showing no signs of a rough start :-)
*continued prayers for Jacobs speedy road to giggles*

Lori said...

Still keeping you and Jacob in my prayers. I certainly hope you get to make your trip to Canada - it sounds like fun! The jewelry pieces from Michaels look like fun, too!

Unknown said...

Congrats on your new car! I am hoping and praying Jacob will be o.k!Those jewelry doll head things are adorable!! I sure hope our Michaels will carry them soon! Keeping my fingers crossed that you'll make it over here this weekend....

Hi Viv,

First of all congratulations on JACOB making it into the world and still being strong. I saw the pics from Mother's day and how pregnant she was and you would never know what they have been dealing with . I hope all goes well and he continues to be strong for his Mom and Dad! All our blessings.

I hope that I am hugging you Friday at lunch and you and Lulu have a safe trip!
Okay, my Michael's does not have that cool stuff. Can't wait to see your necklace.
See you soon,
Love,
Tam

Hearts Turned said...

Oh gosh! I've got to head over to Michaels now!

Keeping little Jacob in my prayers, Viv--every day makes him stronger & stronger...

Wishing you a wonderful day!

Cute goodies at Michael's.

I think uneventful is wonderful news. Every day is a blessing and a day in the right direction. So nice that you could all get a little time away. So hope that you can go this week-end. It would be so nice for you to get away, laugh and be a little crazy.
I have to get to MIchaels. I am taking a Steamtrunk jewelry class next week. These things looke perfect for that.
Praying constantly. Hope this week goes well. I can't believe he is 11 days old.

NanaDiana said...

Uneventful is good news in hospital terms! It sounds like he is holding his own. I am continuing to pray for your little guy...our youngest grandson was 2 weeks old yesterday. He is healthy and, believe me, I KNOW what a blessing that is.

I hope you can get away and have a wonderful weekend with your friends- xo Diana

Unknown said...

Oh' Viv, I had no idea what all was going on with you. Bless sweet Jacob. I will be sending prayers for all of you. I'm running to the hospital now to take my cousin for an out procedure nothing too serious but just had to visit when I saw you're pretty pink hair on my blog this morning. I love it.

I'll check in this afternoon to see how ya'll are doing.

Much love...Tracy
