Louisville Fall Swap CANCELLED

Posted by marciagaye z5KY (My Page) on

It is with much regret that I need to cancel this. My nephew was in a terrible accident this past weekend and is in critical condition. He was away at college....his freshman year in WI. The accident occurred there. When he has stabilized and had some surgeries...the second one is to be today, then he will be moved back home to Chicago. When that happens I will head that way to help my sister,. So I do not know when this will occur, so I really can't plan anything. If someone else wants to host this swap, may be I can attned, if I am in town. Hosting is easy...as you saw,.....just have some coffee or whatever and have a place for people to put their plants. Again..I am sorry I have to cancel, but I am sure you all understand.

Here is an update.... Justin was kept in a drug induced coma for several days. They did surgery almost everyother day...either to repair something or to clean out wounds that they could not close yet. He has gotten enough pints of blood for about 10 people. Last week, after one of the cleanings they ended up giving him 5 pints within a 24 hour period. The good news is ...he has stabilized and improving enough that they are transferring him this week home (Chicago area) to a hopital/ rehab center. The staff at the hospital is amazed at his improvement. YEAH !!!!!! The accident occurred in Watertown, WI...he had just started his freshman year in college and had attended 4 days of classes. Luckily my sister and her family have a GREAT support system at home....so while Justin is in Rehab I will stay here, because there is nothing I can do now. When they decide to release him to home then I will go up. She will need the help then. I talk to her daily...sometimes twice a day and Sunday she was able to put the phone up to Justin's ear and he could hear me and speak to me. I want to thank you all for your kind thoughts. Plan on a SPRING SWAP here !!!!!
