And that was her last post for awhile!!! :)
Lindsay here. I have grounded my mother. She has developed some nocturnal activities that are exhausting her and so the poor thing is grounded. No more 3 am blog posts or cooking sprees. So just for an update she is doing well, great, fantastic, amazing etc, BUT she is just plum tuckered out ALL the time.
I just want to let you all know, I have grounded her from her email and her phone as well. We have so many amazing friends and family members calling the house and her cell and I can tell you she will not be getting back to you.... for awhile, I have found that she tries to sneak communication when I am not looking and her current state and steroids have caused some interesting (for a lack of a better term) conversations that she may look back on later asking me 'why oh why did you let me talk to people while I was on drugs!?!'
So in order for us not to offend, we are just letting you know that if she/we don't get back to you to please not take it personally. If she does, lucky you, because her spelling and grammar will cause a chuckle. I still read her all the comments and Facebook messages everyday and they light up her life. She loves you all so much that she wants to talk to ALL of you and just physically can't. THANK YOU for all your continued support.
These are her hardest days. She has lost a great amount of hair and her comb-over doesn't seem to be doing the trick anymore :). We are working on what to do to keep this woman stylish!
I just want to thank you all for you help. Just letting us know you are praying and thinking about us HELPS. BIG TIME. We feel like we are in a bubble right now and want you all to know that we are ALL sludge-ing through some kind of mud in our lives, you the reader are going through tough times and we probably have no idea. Hang in there!!!! Whether our trials are visible to the world or not, they are still trials, they are tough and boy do they exhaust us all. So we know that we are not the only ones with cancer, we are not the only ones with husbands in Afghanistan, we are not the only ones with a family member with disabilities and we are not the only ones who feel lonely at times. Thank goodness for the Gospel huh? We are never alone.
Enjoy your weekend, it always seems to get darker before the sun rises doesn't it?

Dear Sheri and Family,
You are in our daily prayers. What strong kids and parents you have Sheri! You have got to be proud of your kids. And we are proud of you and your strength Sheri. Your strength and positive attitude teach us all. We are so glad you have so much support coming from every angle. It's so nice to have every aspect of the house and business taken care of so that you can rest and do what needs to be done medically now. Then when this is all licked, doing laundry and house work will be fresh and fun again :) :)
Our cute kids always include you in our family prayers. I know there are hundreds of prayers coming at you each day as we follow the amazing support we see for you each day on facebook and other places.
God bless you. You are a Daughter of God!!
Love, Blake & Donalee
Perfectly said Linds. Thanks again for being so uplifting and inspiring. I love you guys!
Sheri!!! We love you so much! You always inspire us, but now more than ever! Your children have the sweetest way of expressing everything. Your family is uniquely wonderful. Sheri, wish we could give you a huge hug and flowers! We are in Poltava, Ukraine on a mission! We will pray for you, think of you, and try to be good missionaries and be grateful to know you!
We have always adored you! Sheri, we read that you are grounded, so don't answer us back, just know of our love, respect, and admiration. We'd like to be near you when the Savior comes. Love!!!! Dan and Christine
