Update on Needanewbeginning (Annette)
Just checked in with Annette and she says thank you for thinking of her/praying for her! She really appreciates all the support. They think they have gotten the internal bleeding under control thank goodness and they didn't need to go back in. She has had 4 blood transfusions so far so hopefully that is it. She does need more hemoglobin today. She is very weak and they won't let her get up and walk around. I told her that her body needs its rest. It has been through a lot. She is really hoping to be home by tomorrow at the latest. She will post when she is feeling better.
So glad they've got it under control. What a rough start! Hopefully after this it will be smooth sailing for her. Send her our love!

Well, let her know that gets better too, at least it does for me - that is, having a hard time sleeping in strange beds. I couldn't bear any bed but my own when I was 336 lbs, but now that I'm 217 lbs, I'm finding I can sleep just about anywhere without too much discomfort. It's so worth it!
