Mini Update:
Hey Everyone, here's the latest update on my Father In Law. Well on Friday, the "Care Co-Ordinator" at the hospital spoke to my FIL about plans to get out of the hospital. Bare in mind, he hasn't done any rehab in the last week that he's been in the Therapy Ward to help rehab him because everytime he does anything to strain himself, his blood pressure drops and he has a seizure. So for the last week, he's been bed bound. So of course when hubby heard this, he was upset because my FIL is not even half way to close to being ready to come home. We cannot provide the care he needs in the least and we are 20 plus mins from town. And he expressed this to the Care Co-Ordinator... so now he has a meeting on Tuesday with this person and our attending (who is also our family) doctor about this issue. So fingers crossed that they don't try to push him out. But the Care Co-Ordinator before this meeting was set basically told my husband you have 3 options, he goes home, he going into Long Term Care until he's able to go home or going into a 24hr care facility that is like 5000/month (which no one in my family can afford). So right now, everything is still up in the air until Tuesday on what happens with my FIL and I'm heart broken because he's not ready. He needs to get stronger and rehab which he will not get a long term care facility.

Hey Everyone,
Thanks to everyone sending their well wishes over the last few weeks. Though things are still stressful on the home front, my FIL is doing better. Not wanting to jinx it, but they've moved him from ICU to a physical therapy ward at our local hospital. It's improvements after a lot of set back but we are so thankful.
Unfortunately it's not much of an update but it's a good one for sure. And we are truly happy. I can't believe we're about to go into week 4 of him being in the hospital but am so happy he is on the road to recovery after so many set backs.
Thanks again to everyone for your support. I'll try to update again soon. Thanks again

Hey Everyone,
Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend? What did you all get up to? How do you all celebrate?
Considering the circumstances, my boys and I tried our best to make the most of it. The Easter Bunny came and visited my youngest and game him a large plushie he's been asking for. As well as a case of his favourite drink Peace Tea Peach and some chocolate. And we got to enjoy a family big breakfast with their dad (aka hubby) yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks. Because Hubby has been back and forth to the hospital so much, he hasn't been able to here with us for dinner so we decided to make Easter Breakfast something special before he went back to the hospital to see his dad.
Whereas my father in law, well, unfortunately not a lot of change. He's not gotten worse, nor has he gotten better. He's just in a holding pattern. He's still not able to move much, he has none of his own strength. He has moment of not recognizing anything and he still talks, but not like he normally does before this happened. So it's neither good news, nor is it bad news. It's just news. That's all. ((If you're just reading this for a first time, the info at the bottom of this entry has more details but trigger warning to those who can't handle this type of thing.))
So try to help supplement more income for my family, I'm working on making both a Ko-Fi shop for stickers, keychains, pins etc. And an Esty shop for apparel and designs that aren't apart of my normal brand of art and design. At least that's the plans in the works at the moment. Unfortunately, come this week, this will be the third week my husband is off work unpaid and we're definitely getting nervous about bills. So we're trying to figure stuff out.
Wish us luck. Thanks to everyone for your continuing support.

Hey everyone,
Hope things are doing well? Hope everyone has a great Easter Weekend who celebrate Easter. And I'd like to Thank Everyone for all your sweet bday wishes. I do beyond appreciate it. Aside from some family drama, my birthday was fantastic. I got to celebrate with my boys and hubby and they got me all my favourites. I had special desserts which included Eclairs (one of my personal favourites. As well as Chinese food. Chinese Food is my favourite meal to have for my birthdays and my family never disappoints to make the day special.
Now time for the Trigger Warning, for those who don't want to read someone else's strife, which I totally understand, do not read further.
On Monday March 27, 2023: the day after I celebrated my bday with my hubby, boys and father in law, he had to be rushed to hospital. Early in the morning we heard a loud bang and we rushed to check on my father in law. My FIL was breathing but not responsive. So we called 911 and he was taken to emergency. After a few CT scans, it was the determined a new bleed on the brain had happened on the original site of a prior bleed from 2 - 3 years ago. He struggled to speak and overall not great shape. When the bleed stopped, he started to recover slowly. He started to eat a bit, talk a bit more and recognize people more. That is until Saturday April 1, 2023, he took a huge back slide. He developed an edema over night, which is swelling on the brain which caused his brain to shift positions. So by Sunday, the docs gave him meds to reduce the swelling and then they noticed on another CT scan that 2 new bleeds have happened. Though I'm not sure if the bleeds have stopped since then or the swelling is gone, I do know that the docs aren't liking the progress he's made this week. He still can't use his own muscle strength to move and he's still not able to speak much. Though the docs are talking with my hubby and his sis about what comes next, I am trying to stay hopeful that he comes away from this and comes home to us again. I know the odds aren't good but I have to stay hopeful. I don't want to lose him, I don't want my SIL and hubby to lose him or my sons to lose him.
And currently we are struggling financially. Hubby has been off for the last two weeks with no pay and we're trying to get things sorted out, but we don't know how long he'll be off for. If anyone would like to help, I have point donations in my Shop that I can convert into PayPal. Or my Ko-Fi has donations open. And you can also donate to my paypal.me. If you are unable to help, that's a-okay. I totally understand and still appreciate reading my journal, and appreciate all the positive thoughts you give to me and mine during this difficult time.
Hopefully, I'll have some more positive updates and for those who want to stay updated, please comment on the journal and I can tag you in the comments when an update is available.
