Hello everyone,
Yes I know I have been MIA Thank you Melinda for trying to help anyone who needed it and thanks for the updates to the groups.
I ended up with a massive infection in my shunt which almost caused me to loose my eyesight in my right eye. I was taken by ambulance to my local ER on October 5 and then transported out to my neurosurgeon in CT. I spent a week in ICU on very high dose antibiotics. They removed my old VP shunt on a Wednesday once I had been on the antibiotics for 3 days and then put a new one in on Friday with anti-microbial tubing so hopefully this does not happen again. I just returned to work on the 24th. I have some pain still from the tubing as it is larger than the normal tubing and it takes some getting used to Thankfully though my neurosurgeon saved my eyesight by putting in an LP drain bedside and draining the infected CSF and relieving the increased pressure on my optic nerves. I am headache free now and I can see. My right eye is still a little weak but it is getting there
Due to some rows I am unable to locate from a row robin I was in (I put them up for Hurricane Sandy and then had 5 brain surgeries so I can't get through all of the containers ) I have been informed I am no longer allowed to host swaps so sadly this will be the last Boomerang swap unless someone wants to host it until I am able to find the rows and get them home to their rightful owner (which I will do ). If anyone wants to please let me know, I hate to see this swap end because of my shortfalls.
Also please remember deadline is coming up soon, hopefully you are all almost done and happy
Huge Hugs
April

Wow April, what a difficult month! Kudos to you for making it through all of those challenges, and I am especially grateful your eyesight has been saved and the headaches are gone. Given what you've faced, I think it is admirable that you've been able to be as supportive as you have to the Boom. I will keep you in my prayers and add a "please help the rows to resurface"! This has been a very good group and I appreciate all of the organizing you did to make the Boom happen.

Kidlit, thanks for the beautiful block that arrived in my mailbox today! It is the first one shown in my "received album, for others of you that want to see it.

April--You have done a great job and deserve all our thanks. I am so glad you are doing better and hope you continue to improve every day. I hope this is the end of your challenges.

Thank you GagaSmith, wendig, chasezzz, frenfryqueen and ruck9085 for
letting me know that you received your blocks. I'm glad you like them, I
hope they work out in your quilts.

April, so good to hear from you. My prayers are with you. Take care of yourself.
I always ask St. Anthony for help when something is lost. May just be coincedence,
but, I usually find them. And it is usually somewhere I already looked. I hate looking for
things. Hope you find them for your peace of mind if nothing else. I think you are
amazing. I do hope your husband is doing well, too.

Thought I'd show all of you what I have decided to do with the little scraps of fabric left over from your blocks. I have them from the last 3 booms, so will be making a few of these. Haven't decided on the inner circle yet, just been putting the dresdans together. Your little pieces are being used and will be a nice memory.[ATTACH=CONFIG]444443[/ATTACH]
