For those of you who follow my blog, you may have noticed that I have not posted since August 7, well over a month. August 13 was my oldest daughter's wedding and that was wonderful.

But three days after, my Mom became ill. Quite ill. And one month later we are struggling for a diagnosis.

I'm from a small family of five, my sister, a brother with disabilities who lives in a group home, and my parents. We are close and the past few weeks (and sorry for the cliches) it has been all hands on deck for what appears to be in a medical sense, the perfect storm, ie the convergence of several medical factors.

I try to be hopeful, but it isn't always easy. Today was better than yesterday. Yesterday was worse than Sunday, Sunday was worse than Saturday, and Saturday was better than Friday. We are still waiting for a pattern. A pattern would help us diagnose.

In the meantime, I have been working on orders. But I haven't been blogging. Or on Facebook.

I love my business, but I have the most wonderful Mom and that is what I'm mostly thinking about these days.
