Hello, Thanks to all of you for your prayers and thoughts for my daughter. She was released from the hospital today with a new regime for treating her asthma - 8 different prescriptions.

Hello everyone, My daughter is still in the hospital. She thinks she is going to get to home tomorrow, but I'm not that optimistic. She is still on oxygen, but is showing a lot of improvement.

Good Morning, I am trying to think positive today. My daughter does have pneumonia, but I know she is in good hands. Her twin sister is staying with her and keeping me updated regularly.

Kathy, Wonderful to hear from you! I will have to admit I'm a little bit envious of your ability to paint. :bigsmile: There are a few in my family that do oil paintings of landscapes and objects, but nothing anywhere near the level that you are at. I definitely missed out on the artistic gene, I have to use a round object…
