THE WEEK FROM HELL!!!

 Monday, my sweet hubby had a stroke.  He was in the kitchen starting to bake a cake.  I was in another room but heard noises that just were so wrong, so I went to investigate and saw him hanging on to the kitchen sink about to fall.  
There was nothing I could do but grab him and help make the fall a little softer.  I called 911 and also called out son that works near by.  Most of the following all becomes a blur. They did fly Steve to Seattle trauma center one of the best places to be.
As of now, he is recovering.  It will be slow, and so far he is not able to come to this area.  We live three hours away from Seattle and over a snow covered pass.  I did stay with him for a couple of days but for both of us, it was better I come home.

 It was a snow covered world when I woke this morning. I have never been so happy about snow then I am today, for some reason it seems to be a calming feature.  So quiet and calming.

I am going to try to write often, just to help me get though this.  I am looking forward to being able to post on your blogs but for right now, I try to read and nothing is registering.

  2. Hi, Nonie. I just happened upon this blog yesterday. I feel like I know you from years ago when I was learning to smock and do heirloom sewing from studying your tutorials and blog. Just want you to know I'll be praying for you and your husband and other family members. I've recently moved to Washington from Alabama and lost my husband in September of 2016 - in Seattle. He was in ICU for a whole month, and I know how much you want to be there with him. I live on Snoqualmie Ridge about a mile or so from I-90. If there is anything I can do for you on this side of the Pass, please let me know. My heart just aches for you right now, thinking of how helpless you must feel. So glad you have your family and good care for your husband. Stay safe and warm. Becky

  3. Nonie...so sorry to hear this but the words "he is recovering" were good. Our lives can change in the blink of an eye. Praying he has a full recovery.. take care of yourself.

  4. Nonie, you both continue to be in my prayers. I was wondering about the details. I'm so glad you got him help in time.

  5. Connie- I am praying for your husband AND I am praying for YOU...because you have now been forced to become the strong one in the family-the one to take care of all the problems and day-to-day living decisions. I have walked in your shoes. It is not easy and it is thankless but you WILL get through it. I know it seems overwhelming right now. All I can tell you is to try to stay "in the day"...don't look back at the what-ifs and don't try to predict the future because THAT can be scary. Love to you- You know you can write to me anytime. xo Diana

  6. Nonie, So sorry I didn't get to this sooner. I was over visiting my Mom last weekend, saw your email, but wasn't able to get to your blog on my phone. Praying for you and your hubby. I start a long-term sub job on Monday so don't know when I will be able to stop by for a visit, but know that I am thinking about you. Louise
