On Saturday I got some scary news about Rose’s baby Abby. That little baby is holding on for dear life. The email I received said:

Rose and Corey noticed that she didn’t look very good. They took her to the hospital, and she was septic (infection throughout her body). She’s had a couple surgeries, and is on very strong antibiotic therapy. They have her on assisted breathing and they have paralyzed her, so she doesn’t fight the breathing. At this point, the doctors are saying she has a 50/50 chance, but thats actually good news, it’s up from about a 10% chance a week ago.

I cant stop thinking about her and Rose and Corey. Lil Abby has fought so hard and has been only in this world for 9 and a half weeks.

To match this very sad mood, I spent yesterday watching terribly depressing movies. Don’t ask me why. My parents do it so I think it’s safe to say I get it from them. Half way through The Pianist I checked my email to see the cutest pictures:

Little Emma-bug wearing the sweater I made her for Christmas and chillin’ on the quilt I made her when she was born. Annnnnnnnnnd did you notice that the sleeves kinda flirt with her fingers, which is FANTASTIC because that means she can still grow into it?? (Auntie Laura – )
This is the closest I have gotten (SO FAR) to seeing something I knit on someone and it was quite gratifying.

This definitely helped lift my spirits. I’m still thinking and praying for lil Abby and hope for the best but this email I received certainly helped me in starting to think more positively.
