What a crazy Thanksgiving! We made the 10+ hour drive to Ohio on Wednesday; by Friday morning an ambulance was whisking Mom to the hospital. Right now we're mostly thankful for incredible doctors and nurses (especially the nurses and PCAs!) at Robinson Memorial Hospital in Ravenna, OH. Everyone did a spectacular job of caring for Mom as she was tested, poked, prodded and otherwise investigated. In the end she was diagnosed with pneumonia, and after extensive testing the doctors said her heart is fine. It was definitely not the most enjoyable holiday we've had, but we're very grateful that it wasn't much worse.
Before Thanksgiving I signed up for a blog challenge: for the first 12 days of December, write a 144 word blog post using the appropriate phrase from "The 12 Days of Christmas". You know, day 1 - partridge in a pear tree. Well, I am obviously three days behind, but I'm going to give it a shot. There will be another post after this, combining the first three days (and if I don't count my words properly, sue me!). I'm sure you are all waiting eagerly to see if I can make this work. All I can say is, get comfy....it may be a bumpy ride!

This should be interesting. Combining all three? Good luck with that! This challenge is hard! :)

Whew! Thankfully everyone is okay.
Glad you're going to dive right in...we were wondering. :-)
And...ditto what Shouts said.
