Hi All!
You may have noticed that I haven't been visible much this week. My brother suffered a medical emergency Monday and my sister-in-law and I have been pretty much living at the hospital since then. He's finally out of ICU and in a step down unit but not out of the woods. His neurologist is still recommending that a family member be with him around the clock. We're all taking shifts and that has thrown my regular schedule into turmoil.
I'll try to keep up with the blog schedule as best as I can but I may have to move some posts around. Also, I probably won't be responding to as many comments for a few weeks.
If you follow me on Facebook (PJ Ausdenmore), I've been posting updates and also sharing my sister-in-law's updates. He has a long road to recovery ahead of him but the determination - and family support - to make it happen. We are seeing small improvements and have nothing but hope and positive energy for the path ahead.
We've been overwhelmed by the prayers and good wishes from friends near and far. Any prayers or good thoughts sent our way by you, my blog friends, would be deeply appreciated.
I have all of the recent giveaway packages ready to go but haven't been able to get to the Post Office yet. I will mail them out as soon as I can.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thinking of you and your family during this trying time. Please take however much time you need and focus on your family! Everything else can wait. I hope your brother’s road to healing is smooth and that your time together brings comfort.

DeletePJ, the most important thing right now is taking care of your brother and sister-in-law. The books, reviews, and giveaways aren't going anywhere and aren't as important as your family. Just make sure you and your sister-in-law take care of yourselves. With this sort of thing, it is easy to get worn out physically and mentally. Burnout is a very real thing. We aren't going anywhere and will be here when you can come back. You will all be in my thoughts.
ReplyDeleteI have added your brother, sil and all his family in my prayers. Don't worry about the books or blog, Do what you need to do for your brother and family. God bless you all.
ReplyDeleteI think all of us who follow you will agree that family has to come first and you have better priorities than keeping us entertained. Please take care of yourself as well as your brother and sister in-law. Praying you for all.
ReplyDeleteP J, you all are in my prayers. I know that with your help and your other family members strength, this will have a good outcome. It will simply take some time. I am praying. Take care, God Bless and the books and the readers will be here when you are ready for us again.
ReplyDeleteAs others have said, family comes first. I hope your brother continues to make steady progress and is back home soon.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about the blog. We will be here when you get back. I will continue to pray for all of you.
ReplyDeleteIt's exhausting to stay at a hospital, for both the patient but also the family. Take good care of yourself (& your sister-in-law too) - you'll need your strength to be able to help your brother. Hoping he will have positive progress.
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping you, your brother and your family in my prayers!
