Oh!!! I am so sorry to hear of your son's troubles. I will put him on my prayer list. I hope he has continued to keep well. It's NO fun spending time in the hospital.....but you did get the perfect basin out it!!! Just a little humor...of course you would rather not be there.
Your basin project is AWESOME!!!! Looks like the real deal without the rust...win/win!!!!

You've been through so much, along with your son Gail. Keeping up with this site should have been your last concern, although things have seemed slow, there was a really good reason. Watching him suffer through a painful chest tube, pneumonia, and then a virus he got in the hospital to keep him there even longer just isn't fair to y'all, all the way around. Thank you for sharing your personal experience with us. You know we've got your back. I will say a prayer for you now.

In reply to Dana. Oh my, that doesn't sound fun for you either! I'm hoping the infusions kick in and make a difference in your symptoms. Meanwhile, just lots of arts and crafts and movies at home for summer fun!

In reply to gail. Oh, thank you! I was almost going to post it because it's so simple! I'll have to go back and check out your project from last year!

Pam,
What an ordeal for mom and son! It's hard to say who that's harder on, right? I'm hoping that he is still getting his strength back and continues to recover.
About your project, as I scrolled, and came across the first beauty image, I was in shock. Seriously awesome project out of plastic. I did something similar with metal last year, but this puts a whole new spin on it. "starting to look like a cow" made me giggle out loud! I can relate!
take care my friend!

pinned!

Oh my! Well, good thing they caught the pneumonia. Poor guy. It's no fun to be in the hospital during the summer. I'm glad he is recovering. My daughter, 13, isn't having a terribly thrilling summer because I'm dealing with anemia. The mommy guilt kills me 😩. I'm one blood transfusion down and 5 iron infusions so far (Crohn's Disease).

Oh, Pam, I'm so sorry for all that y'all have been going through. I had thought maybe you were just having a bit of a well-deserved slowdown this summer. It's so sad and frightening when your kids are sick, and I'm glad he's doing better. Sending healing wishes for him, and relaxing wishes for you.

I can't believe he had to go BACK into the hospital a second time- I'm so sorry this summer has been craptastical for you all. Here's hoping for a MUCH better late July and August. Hugs, my friend!

First off I'm so glad your son is doing better! I hope the rest of your summer is relaxing after all that.
