This is Amber earlier this year modeling a dress she bought while on a field trip in NYC.
I brought Amber home from the hospital today!! Thanks to all who have expressed concern: Tammy, Carrie, Frankie, Lewis, Bradley... and if there's anyone else please know that my brain is just tired!
She is still on the mend and will be out of school for at least another week. She is weak and still in pain, but her pain seems to be slightly less. She has six different medicines to take at varying times during the day so I'm working hard to make sure she takes what she's supposed to at the time she's supposed to.
I read up on some of the medicines and about four of them cause pain so I'm hoping and praying that when she's finished with the treatment all of her pain will be completely gone. (The field of medicine can be so crazy -- for lack of a better word -- because the medicines that are supposed to make her feel better make her feel worse.)
She'll follow up with the GI in about three weeks. She'll have a homebound teacher for about a week and I'm hoping the teacher will help to get her all caught up. But, besides all of that, I'm just relieved to have her at home. Now I really jump into mommy mode!
Thanks again for everyone's prayers, love and concern.

Hey Petula -
About your rose drooping issues...roses are one of the mroe difficult plants to keep thriving especially indoors...I have a rosh bush that is in a pot that has gone in and out each year for 3 years.
The best advice with roses is when it has to come inside or if it is getting droopy, cut it way back...almost so it barely looks like it is coming out of the pot...and then keep it in sunlight and keep the soil damp. By cutting it back like this, it will send its strongest roots the most important nutrients and it will really thrive.
I know it sounds weird...but some plants do much better after you almost completely prune them :)
Hope that helps!

I am so happy that your daughter's home and on the mend! I'm sure with your help that your daughter will be back to her normal self soon. Take care of yourself and your family. Still thinking of you! Tammy
P.S. I agree with Bradley about cutting flowers back. My father had a green thumb if not his whole hand and he used to cut everything way back at the end of summer. I still do it and the flowers always come back great!
um ok so did I miss it when you said just waht this all was???? or did you not say.
