Love the story. Sounds like such fantastic holidays!
Thinking of you often.

I've always wanted to go to a REAL live hog roast - it sounds so fun. And looking at that scrumptious roast your dad is working on ... yum. Isn't it amazing how our experiences as a child can affect us so strongly well past them into adulthood.

I'm praying for you daily Sara. My heart goes out to you. Being patient is challenging enough on it's own. I can't imagine being patient while you are waiting for your body to adjust to the pain. You are so brave blogging about it as you go through it.
Gentle hugs....

If you run out of movies to use as your background, I recommend asking someone to pick up the audio copies of the Mitford books by Jan Karon for you. They are delightful and fill me with hope and warm fuzzy feelings every time I read them, which is about once a year. Next to Harry Potter, totally my favorites.

Hope you are getting a little better each day!

I love this story since I grew up in Dubuque so close to where you "vacationed!!"
I don't think the Dirty Dancing movie would require either of us to think much. Maybe we could just zone out and pretend we are BABY dancing with Johnny???? :*

I loved reading this again, I just can't help but think "Sound of Music" when I re-read it! Hearing from you twice in one week is awesome! Stellan is doing better again sweet Sara and I pray we will hear that one day you will be as well! Hope you continue to feel our love and prayers :-D
How has Riley been adjusting? Give him a hug from me!

Hi sweet one,
I, personally, look forward to the hoot and a half that will be your medicated blog for the next little bit. Any word from you is a GOOD one. :)
I am trusting our amazing God to continue to work in you and heal you, and I see evidence of His hand in this whole situation. Your attitude? INCREDIBLE. Your outlook? SUPERIOR. Your sweet personality? PRESENT. You are a gift, and you will triumph in this lousy situation.

We are praying for a "quick" wean/taper, good meds to hold you through all of this, and no extra side effects. I am thankful for good nursing, wise doctors, and faithful friends that are all on your side.

Just heal. Everything else will follow...all us peeps included.

love you!

Perhaps my earliest memory of knowing you, Sara, is at St. Stephen's with you belting out "Oh, Lord, its hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way." I wish you had recorded it so we could hear that side of Sara as well as "Holy Ground." I told stories at Mt. Loretto in May and thought of you and the family there.

Oh Sara. My heart goes out to you and what you're going through right now. May God keep giving you the patience and the strength to get through each day.

Many hugs

That is some roast hog. Now I want to run out & get 3 lbs of ribs. My waistline does not thank you. :)

I am happy to see any post, even if it is just to lets know you are "hangin in there".

Well, you taught me something today. I never even knew an opportunity like this existed! What fun memories and a wonderful childhood. And what a dolly baby you were.

I'm glad you are being gracious with yourself and only utilizing low stimulation activities as you can tolerate them. I will continue to pray. Thank you for letting us in on an update. I know that is really hard for you and is a gift. Oh! And just a thought? How about if you had a little voice recorder to record your thoughts into? You wouldn't have to try to remember, you could sort out the "medicine" thoughts, and you could remember those coherent things you want to share (or the ones we simply must have like, what happened to the lazy family's dog?!). I would be happy to buy you one and send it if you give me your address. Love to you and gentle hugs.

This was a great one! I totally get that you wouldn't have the energy or mental capacity to put forth that much energy right now. Hey, how about we request favorites for repost during your respite? I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to read the one about your cowgirl microphone again! May I request that right now? Wait! I think I just did! We are joining all these wonderful people who love you so much in prayer for your health and wellness. Love you Sara.

Oh thank you Gail for telling us that Sara sang Oh Lord it's hard to be humble...I so love that.
Been praying ... I love logging on and hearing from you. This post made me want barbecue in Dec. and once again I have the craving. Love to you Sweetie and prayers that there are better days ahead.
