Ok
I have some news to share, my daughter Jessica was operated on
yesterday afternoon, she is recovering ok still has drainage tube in
her stomach but is off the pain-relieving drip but still not feeling
that great, she doesn't know when she will be home as yet. However,
that is probably a good thing as this is what her front lawn looks
like and her street is without electricity and the street is still
cornered off due to fallen trees. Leo of course is here and he is
fine not distressed in any way about his mum not being here and being
in hospital.
In
other news some may have heard about the elderly lady who was killed
in Maitland due to her car being swept away in flood waters. Well it
turns out the woman is my sister in-laws grandmother, so her family
are shocked and sadden by this, they were worried yesterday about her
when they saw the car on the news and realised it looked like her
car, so they tried to ring her and were unable to contact her.
This
is a photo from Facebook of Sydney harbour bridge, thought it was a
wow photo so sharing it as well.
Natasha
is working five nights a week at her new cleaning job and either me
or Jono have Blain while she is at work,he is suppose to be picked up
by his dad this afternoon sometime I don't know when though I was
told between 4-5pm but it is now 5.10pm and he still isn't here.
Blain
will be off school till Monday while they continue to clean up the
school after the storm, Leo went back to school today but there are a
number of school still closed till Monday.
Pleased your daughter is recovering from surgery. What a mess the rain caused. Yes, I saw the news re the lady, always sad in any situation, a loss of life...
ReplyDeleteYes it was a great mess but more areas are getting cleaned up
DeleteI'm so sorry about all the destruction and devastation. It's good that Leo is accustomed to being with you so he isn't frightened.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
Yes he is, when asked yesterday if he was ok with his mum being in hospital he said yeah it just means that I get to spend more time with my wonderful nanna
DeleteJust glad none of you were hurt in the storm. Isn't it funny how God timed her hospital stay with the disaster?
ReplyDeleteYes I thought that but if I was to say it to her she would get annoyed as she isn't that religious
DeleteHi, Jo-Anne! I continue to wish Jessica a speedy and complete recovery. It's shocking to learn how flood ravaged parts of your country are and I am sad to learn that the woman who was swept away to her death is related. I hope circumstances on all fronts improve soon. God bless!
ReplyDeleteYes so much damage and destruction but things are improving
DeleteOMG! What a storm!! So glad she is okay after her surgery, though. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, things are improving
DeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteGlad the surgery went well and yes, in this case she is a lot more stress free at the hospital than at home!
So sad to learn from TV about a car that belongs to your Grandmother; your sister-in-law must have been shocked. May all involved receive God's strength for pulling through this.
Hugs to you,
Mariette
Thank you Jessica is doing better more or less, and things are looking better weather wise, the SES was at Jessica's yesterday cutting up the tree
DeleteGood to hear about your daughter. What a mess. Mother Nature can do a number when she gets a mind to huh. 😕
ReplyDeleteOh yeah and there was more disasters last night in places
DeleteWow--I had no idea you were hit by so much flooding! Hope your daughter is on the mend, and my condolences to the in-laws who lost the grandmother. So sad.
ReplyDeleteThankfully Tim and I were not affected much but our girls had their fair share of problems as did my parents and sisters
DeleteThank God about your daughter mending well. I am horrified at the storm damage. Did YOU get much of that storm or was it in another part of Australia. No, I think jot had to have been where you are as you said your daughter's home has fallen trees on the lawn and that there is no electricity. Was that a tornado or a hurricane or a bad terrible electrical storm?
ReplyDeleteYes the storm was right around us, we don't get tornados or hurricanes really here it was a category 2 cyclone, last night we had an electrical storm but it wasn't that bad where we are
DeleteExcuse the typo "jot" that was meant to say "that".
ReplyDeleteI knew that
DeleteOh wow, these events are crazy! Hope that all is getting back to normal! :-) Praying for your daughter's recovery, for the family of the woman who passed away, and for the storm recovery!
