A Better Week

Thankyou for all your well wishes. Lisbeth did indeed enjoy her lobster last Friday, and she is enjoying a good week! She has been happy and giggling during our phone calls, and is looking forward to sleeping over on Saturday. We are grateful for this calm spell.

Today I will be spending alot of time with Lisbeth's snowflakes, submitting fabric designs to Spoonflower, so that we can start sewing some items for her Etsy store by mid-March!

Lobster

Lisbeth's Lobster Moon mandala is for sale in her Etsy shop (see the four black lobsters?)

Lisbeth with her brother-in-law, Cory Duggan.

Cory brought fresh lobsters down from Islesford where he lives with Lisbeth's big sister Kaitlyn.

Lisbeth was weaving in and out of cloudiness on Friday after having that rugged seizure on Thursday. She alternated between bouts of staring, and then coming to and circling the kitchen, saying "lobster, lobster!" over and over. Lis loves lobster. It's her favorite meal, and knowing that she was invited to a surf and turf dinner at our house cut through the thickest postictal fog! She is clearing up slowly, and on the mend, once again. She is a trooper.

Smart Teacher

Four Glad Giants, one of Lisbeth's nine newly framed mandalas, now for sale over at Brainstorm Studio.

Lisbeth talking about the young man she shares her house with. He has severe autism, is non-verbal (but makes occasional loud shouts) and spends a good part of each day holding and wiggling his "dolls" (a rubber lobster and an octopus). She alternates between perseverating negatively about him, to knowing about him (and missing him when he goes home to visit his family...)
