I truly feel prayers pulled Mom through the last few months, and Now I am asking once again, as Mom at 85 is undergoing another back surgery this coming Monday. She is tough and has endured so much pain, but I pray this Surgery will give her some relief!

Thank you Everyone for your time , prayers and well wishes, it means more than you can know

Thank you Everyone for the continued prayers for Mom. She was admitted through the ER last night as she is in a lot of pain. Candi took her to ER Friday night, it was little help after a 12 hr wait, and yesterday I found the ER annex near my home easier to get attention
And the Dr there pushed to admit her, Candi stayed with her overnight. Praying they can get an MRI today or tomorrow but knowing she is resting and under pain control is all that matters. It’s been a rough few months and I have stayed with Mom for weeks now as I fear leaving her alone and praying that this hospital stay will bring some comfort and resolve in her prognosis.

She has been adamant over the last year about wanting to stay in her home, she is very independent, but these last few months have become a sign that moving in with me is the only choice, as she has porch, garage and patio steps and this are no longer an option for her to use steps with chance of falling . Candi will assist me in clearing my work in the home out into my studio over the next few weeks so this transition will begin. I appreciate all the inquiries on Mom and continue prayers and I truly believe in the support and I have shown/read many of them to her, she KNOWS how I talk about her to you all and it touches her heart to know so many care!

I am working here at her house, but on limited means, but have been dealing with my own health issues, but with meds I persevere and manage… and I will continue, I appreciate everyone’s patience and hope to begin posting some finished works of upcoming shipments soon! In the mean time, THANK YOU!!! And love to all

If you know me at all, you know how close I am with my Mother, she has helped me so much since I started Petals & Plumes back in 1997, I have ALWAYS praised her and spoken of her in my work, and in her own paper mache works, which she has been tinkering with even while in pain to keep her mind occupied, she is a go getter at 85 yrs, and I cannot wait to have her comfortable and her own business going again.

PLEASE keep Mom in your prayers as she has Surgery this morning

UPDATE: Thank you Everyone for the kind words and prayers... if you only knew what transpired from me posting here and on my other pages, I would say, it was GOD'S WILL in me posting about Mom, because a childhood friend who commented, ended up being the one who schedules surgery for the Doctor we saw.. I had NO CLUE and Mom's mind was put as such ease after leaving the office today.. Things truly aligned in Mom's Favor today...

THANK YOU with tears flowing from my face right now to everyone who took a moment to React or Comment...we have a plan for Kyphoplasty Surgery and our Mom is a TOUGH Cookie at 85 yrs of age, so I am confident she will recover, as she is otherwise a very healthy woman...

THANK YOU, THANK YOU........

Tomorrow is One Month that Hurricane Helene came through Augusta. These Disaster Relief Trucks have been all over the City clearing Debris and they are on my my street today. THANK YOU!

These brown piles are all up and down the streets everywhere, it’s sad to see so many beautiful trees are lost, as well as the Wilderness Fur Babies who lost their lives that nested inside them. I have not heard the level of birds chirping since the storm, but finally seen a few squirrels running around, it was vacant of noise right after the storm. NEVER want to take those chirping noises for granted again!

Please keep those who have been devastated by this storm in your prayers, I have friends posting they have lost someone who was hit by trees in their home, it hit us early in morning hours with storm starting around midnight and the peak from 3 am till 7am.. rain and gusting winds tore down so many homes and claimed many lives. My family is safe, we had damage, mostly my Sister, but nothing like many and I have witnessed the roads filled with trees and power lines in the road everywhere. Some saying now expected power is Oct 13th?

My Mom is safe and we have a generator now and gas for lights and fans, but the food is all lost , but we will manage. Mom and I are sitting outside trying to work, her with paper mache and I with painting.. Stay busy is my way of not overthinking the issues… this is in Gods Hands and those wonderful beings in the BIG TRUCKS clearing the roads and repairing the lights!!!! Thank you

Power update and not looking good, we are in 2 days and NOW another 7 days for the earliest estimate??? At Moms and my stomach is in knots

Thank you everyone for the prayers , we are still without power, I left this morning to check on Mom and had several detours due to trees and power lines down. Finally got a bar cell to check calls and messages.. came home to get supplies and try to find something open for gas and food. The Entire City was without power it seems, no street lights. I have some minimal Damage and need to check roofline as I had trees down, my studio has some roof damage, hopefully I can cut most limbs myself. Mom unfortunately had her whole back fence fall down and some limb damage and pipeline, my Sister has it the worst, a tree in her roof and trees that fell in her neighbors property. NEVER seen this kind of storm and the damage, even the ice store of
2014 was not this bad. These are a few pics on my way to Moms, yes, I am bad for taking pics but did so. Some areas were really awful, blessed mine is not worse. Brother is on his way in to town to help me rebuild Moms fence temporarily fence guy can’t do anything till next week. Just pray we get power soon. The dogs don’t like it cooped up, but hope we can mend fence and fix the pipe burst in yard.. needless to say, my work schedule this week will be changed.
