I got on the plane the next day and flew to Grand Rapids. He had liver and kidney failure and a whole in his heart. His body turned septic. They put him on life support. I was blind to the idea that I was there to make a life and death decision. Pastor Wally and his church family came up and prayed for him and with me.. I did not leave the hospital or his side for the first week.<br />
Ray started to slowly started to improve. His liver and kidneys were still in failure and they started dialysis. His heart was working at 15% . The ICU continue to work hard to keep him alive. Heather and Amiee stayed with me. We never left him alone and continued to pray. One day he opened his eyes! The next day they removed the ventaltor. Ray was breathing on his own! He woke up hungry and wanted grapes and grape juice. They said he could have ice chips after a CT-scan they had scheduled. He went from ice chips to popsicles.<br />
They slowly started removing the IVs. That is when I knew Ray was going to make it! Soon he was out ICU. They did a stress test on Ray's heart. The results, his heart is working at 25%. His liver and kidneys counts are rising. It's been three days since he's had dialysis. The doctors call his recovery a miracle. I praise God and thank him for answering our prayers.<br />
If you would like to read more about Ray's recovery I have made a Facebook page with rates update<br />

Ray will be moved to Mary Freebed for two weeks of acute physical therapy.<br />
Thank you God for hearing our prayers. I know your healing hands have touched Ray's life.Beverly Hermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04586380052308968879noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10181892.post-47308578970046275082016-02-07T22:03:00.000-06:002016-02-07T22:16:46.180-06:00Life Style ChangesI've been thinking about it for a long time. I was the last dinosaur standing who still smoked cigarettes. Friday January 22, 2016 I decided I was done.<br />
<br />
I got up the next morning determined I was going to quit. I was going smoke-free. I made a sign and put it on the home screen of my iPhone. We tossed the cigarettes and ash trays into the trash.<br />

I looked at this sign every time I thought about smoking the first few days. One of the tools I used was tapping. A technique I learned in a book called "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/Tapping-Solution-Revolutionary-System-Stress-Free/dp/1401939422/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1454896542&sr=8-1&keywords=The+tapping+solution" target="_blank">The Tapping Solution</a>" by Nick Ortner. What is tapping and how can you use it? <a href="http://www.thetappingsolution.com/what-is-eft-tapping/" target="_blank">Read here for an explanation</a>.</div>
<div align="left">
I spent some time soul searching for the reasons why I was so addicted to smoking. I came up with two very true but sad reasons why they were a crutch in my life. Sometimes the truth hurts as much as the reasons why. <br />
<br />
I smoked because I was lonely. I smoked to be social.<br />

I survived the first day and made myself another banner.</div>
<div align="left">
I knew this was going to be tuff. It wasn't my first attempt at quitting. This time I was going cold turkey with no aids. I knew after the first 3 days it would be hard. This is when the nicotine has completely left your body. Your cravings increase along with other side effects such as being nauseated having headaches and being irritable. Two of my biggest withdrawal symptoms are trouble sleeping and increased appetite. On day six I bought Nicorette(R) mini lozenges. I gained 6 lbs. the first week and needed some help.</div>
<div align="left">
<br />
It's not over yet. I have another week to go before I can say I have really quit smoking and the rest of my life to prove it. </div>

<span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">I shared the tips and tricks I use with beading. I explained how to hold the beadwork as you bead. I see so many beaders trying to twist their hand as they as they add the next bead. I demonstrated how to turn the beadwork in your hand to add the next bead. I also demonstrated how to pull your thread for better tension. Some one needed help seeing how bead crochet worked. I explained about the position of the beads being in horizontal position when you pass the crochet hook under the bead. I demonstrated doing a slip stitch and the bead turning in a vertical position. </span></div>

Today was the 18th year that I haven't seen my Mom or kids on Mother's Day.<br>
Happy Mother's Day Mom!<br>
I try not to dwell on the sadness I feel living so far away from my family.<br>
It isn't easy being a long distance Mom. 17 months is a long time to go without seeing them. Thank goodness for phone calls and long distance wishes for a Happy Mother's Day.<br>
I love you Ray, Jennifer, Amiee and Ray. I am so proud of you all. My heart swells with pride when I talk about you and I am always talking about all of you!!<br>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Just a note of appreciation and undying love and respect to the best wife and mother of all time.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You have filled an empty spot in both my heart and my soul. I marvel at the care and love you display under sometimes adverse circumstances.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You never fail to put all of us first. For this, I shall always look in awe and continue to wonder</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“How?”.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I can only say Thank You for being the love of my life!</div>

It’s an ASUS 2 in 1 laptop. The old operating system could not handle the new version of Microsoft Office that I use to illustrate my bead instructions. My old computer was so old it was running Windows XP. <br />

It did not take me long to learn this was the right machine for me. Being an Apple girl I was always trying to swipe the screen to switch between windows and apps on the older laptops. It was small learning curve switching from the desktop to tiles and apps. I am learning my way around the Windows 8.1 and loving every minute of it. My true love will always be an Apple device. It’s nice to know I can work with both systems to get my work done.<br />
This is my first post using Windows Live Writer.

They are like super hero's with names like Super Duo's, Bead Studs, Spikes, Rizo's, Pyramids, Peanuts, Long Drops, Long Magatamas, Bricks and 2-Hole Lentils. They have inspired designer to create new and exciting patterns. The shapes of these beads add a new diminsion to flat bead work.<br />
<br />
I have been most inspired by the new Miyuki long drops. I love the matte and permanent galvanized colors. I am looking forward to using these in a bead crocheted rope.<br />

I feel I am truly blessed to have such a great Mom. She is wise, kind and generous with a nurturing spirit. I can't wait to go home this summer and visit with her. Last year about this time we were traveling to the Bead & Button show. My Mom and I have taken lots of roads trips over the years. We travel well together and have the best time. </div>

In honor of my Mom I am having a give-away. I love these crystal tennis bracelets so much. <br />I've made a lot of them.<br />I want to give one away. <br />This one is made with bronze seed beads and my favorite color of Swarvoski crystals Pacific Opal AB.<br />It will fit a 7 inch wrist comfortably.</div>

The last five years I have been wearing Yoga Sandals. I love these sandals. I could walk for hours in them. You might say they have been around the world and back with me. They have walked the sandy beaches of tropical islands and through airports traveling to Michigan. </div>

This past year I lost 35 lbs. I started walking more. My feet started to protest. It progressed to a point where the pain in my feet kept me awake at night. I knew it was time to find a foot doctor. <br /><br />The Podiatrist confirmed my suspension. Years of having flat feet caused bunions on both of my feet. Not wearing proper shoes added to the condition. Surgery is scheduled for next Friday on the 17th. The right foot is first and than the left later on.<br /><br />There will be no driving for 4 weeks. It's going to be an interesting experience as I live on the second floor in a townhouse. The doctor explained how to walk on my foot after surgery to get up stairs. Once I am in my house that where I be for the next three days.<br /><br />I've traded in my Yoga sandals for a sturdy pair of shoes with arch supports. Oh lucky me! I know it's going to a bit of a haul but I am looking forward to having happy feet again. </div>

I have been beading like crazy trying to keep my nervous energy under control. 18 bracelets in 6 weeks. 6 are class examples. One was donated as a door prize at the last bead show. Another one was a gift for a friend. A few are new projects for Bead Cruise 2014. I can't wait to share them in my next post.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.</div>

Photos: I've been taking an online course from <a href="http://photojojo.com/university/" target="_blank">Photojojo University</a> called Phoneography 101. I thought I knew it all when it came to taking photos with my iphone. There are a few tips and tricks left for me to learn. Lesson three is about Natural and Artificial lighting. My favorite photo editing app is called <a href="https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/phototoaster-photo-editor/id433671262?mt=8" target="_blank">PhotoToaster</a>. You have the option of changing the light in your photo from Clarity, Tune-up, Pro, Backlit, Flash and Recover highlights. I took this picture of me facing my front door. I used the Blacklit option in PhotoToaster to achieve this effect with the picture. The afternoon sun was bright. The sparkle from my red crystal earrings bounced light on my reflection. You can see it on the left side of the shiloutte. One little red dot. That is what caught my attention and inspired me to take this photo! My husband thinks I am crazy with my ninja picture taking skills. One of his questions were "how many pictures can you take of the sky"? My answer "ALOT". I call them SKYSCAPES. Every evening the clouds and setting sun paint a new scene for me to snap a photo of.<br />

Where did the time go? </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's been almost two months since I have made a blog post.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where have I been? Around the world and back again. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sailing the high seas on <a href="http://www.beadcruise.com/" target="_blank">Bead Cruise 2013</a>.</div>
<br />
What did I learn? How to rivet metal. Thanks to <a href="http://www.wiredarts.net/tsBio.html" target="_blank">Tracy Stanley</a> who is awesome! She showed me how to swing that hammer and rivet. I swore I would always be faithful to my seed beads. Now I see an oppurtunity to mix seed beads with these metal creations.<br />

I came home and went through all my metal charms, </div>

ordered rivets and hammered away. </div>

I believe metal and me are meant to be. Shopping with my sister Rosanne we scored a BIGkick by Vintaj at Michael's for $24.99, saving over $65. The die cuts were marked down to $2.99. I dug my tool box out of the closet looking for tools to use with metal. It was like opening a treasure chest. I found a dampling block, hammers, files, steel wool, safety glasses and letter stamps. I had all those things from teaching an etching classes 5 or 6 years ago. I am so glad I did not get rid of these things. Especially since I claimed I did not like working with metal!<br />
<br />
For now though all the tools are back in the tool box. The seed beads are calling. I have a few projects to complete before I can spend more time hammering away.<br />
<br />
Thanks for stopping by!</div>
