I've been very open on my personal facebook page about things that have happened and the reason I have extend my leave from designing, but I feel that I have left some of you in the dark on this matter and I'm sorry. I feel that I should explain the reasons for my absence.
In July my Mom was admitted to the ER with pneumonia, with her having COPD, this was not a good thing.
She has recovered but it's pretty much left her bedridden. She is on oxygen and Hospice. Each day, I feel she's getting better but it's been such a long road for her and I know she will never fully recover. I've been spending as much time as I can with her and try to help my Dad as much as I can.
I've also found out that my pituitary tumor has grown back. I had it removed February 27th of 2009 and honestly didn't think it would grow back. This time they want to treat it with radiation therapy and tomorrow I go to see the radiation oncologist in hopes to get things going and get rid of this thing for good.
I don't know how much longer I will be on leave or if I will even continue to design once my treatment is done. I just know that I've gotten emails asking how I was doing and when I was coming out with new designs, so I wanted to make a public announcement to let you all know what's been going on.
I thank you from the bottom of my heart, for being patient with me, your concerns and also for being such great clients/friends, it truly means the world to me!!!
HUGS,
Tina

Sending prayers for your quick return to good health and for the strength you need to get there. Take care of yourself, and I hope you're back to designing, if not for us, then at least for yourself, soon. God bless you.
Tina~ You are such an inspiration to me! Be strong~ I am praying for you! I believe that families are forever and that gives me such great comfort through all of the challenges of life! Much love coming your way! Jenny Miller
