Life is so fragile... Our niece, who's not quite 9, is in the hospital again after having a colostomy in Jan. They removed the bag & reattached her small intestine to her rectum. Everything was going great and all of a sudden she's now in horrible pain :( We're all so worried and her folks are trying to be strong. The hubs & I are providing a "home away from home" with home cooked meals, hot showers, and a warm comfy bed when they can catch some sleep. Wish we could do more, so I'm asking u all to send some positive healing energy to Kylee in Cleveland Clinic please. Love & Good Health to all Bloggers and thanks for listening!kimberjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11413135775615237377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033816907346223838.post-50946532131864816572010-05-07T15:47:08.372-07:002010-05-07T15:47:08.372-07:00when i was a little girl i remember my neighbour a...when i was a little girl i remember my neighbour asking me... do you know why it's called "bamboo?" i said, "no, why?"
