Just watched this thing about Machelle Hobson, of Arizona, who was fostering 7 children and exploiting/abusing them. Sounds to me like DCS hasn't gotten any better than when I was a kid...call to warn the parents you're coming so there is time for the kids to clean the house, themselves, and change to clean clothes, give them the benefit of the doubt, etc. Question children in front of family members so we know we'd get huge punishments if the truth were found. Why can't they learn?!

Have you ladies heard about it?

Wow Carolyn. You have had quite the time....do they think that lymph node was responsible for the hypercalcemia?

Hope you feel better and better.

It absolutely was.  Before, every time they stopped the infusions (to lower the calcium levels) it would come right back up again.  It has been two months since my surgery and everything is in the normal range.  Right now I am cancer free.  For a while, I will be having monthly blood tests to make sure everything is good.  Of course, periodically I will have scans too.

How awful.  I had not heard of this but I was not living in AZ  24 years ago.  Hopefully, lessons were learned and things have changed for the better.

Well, it came out in 2017, so 6 years ago. Sure hope they're learning from their mistakes!

Oops, you are right.   These old eyes misread the date on the article.

It's ok! I understand...I keep texting without my glasses at night and I swear i'll mess something up someday. :P 

So we got DD married off and gained a new child and his family. It was such a wonderful day. For those of you that saw my SAS haul at the most recent retreat this is the dress I made with it.

congratulations.  And the dress turned out great!

Thank you. It looks simple but it was quite the project complete with full lining and invisible zipper.
