Friday Night Update
Time: 10:55 PM
Good evening people. Our daughter, Jocelyn is still the same. Were just still waiting for a set of lungs to come around and give her the gift of life. Always praying and hoping that happens soon. Please, continue to pray for her. Thank you.
We also want to send out our deepest sympathies and condolences to the Kioke family back home on the passing of their loved one. Our thoughts and prayers are with you in this difficult time and we hope that your family and friends can be a rock of support for you in this hour of need. Again, with our deepest sympathies.
God bless you all.

Toronto Weather: Cloudy periods and cool
Good evening. We just got home from the hospital. Yesterday, we were surprisingly told that they hade found a lung donor for our daughter, Jocelyn. It was an overwhelming surprise. The feeling is just hard to explain. We were crying and happy at the same time.
So, at 1:00 am this morning, Sunday, April 26, 2009, they performed a surgery for a double lung transplant. The operation went well with just minor bleeding to the right lung area. The doctor had also told us that at this time shes at risk for pneumonia, blood clots, bleeding and brain wound, due to lack of oxygen prior. However he said that will be closely monitored for the next day or two, any problems that arises will be dealt with again at the O.R. Hes hoping that wont occur and won't be necessary.
The surgery procedure was 16 hours.
Finally, we want to say thanks to our elder, Madeleine Kioke and sister, Caroline Louttit for being there to support us on our tough time of distress. God bless yous and to everyone else that continued to pray for our daughter.
Thats all for this evening and well keep yous updated. All we want to do now is to get our sleep as we were at the hospital all night. Good night!

Good evening. We just got back from the hospital. Our daughter, Jocelyn is just doing fine. All her vitals, numbers and gases are where where the doctors wanted them. Theyll look at her as each day passes by and eventually will decrease on the drugs shes presently using.
Oh yeah, what I forgot to mention yesterday on risks was, she could get an infection to but were always praying that wont happen.
Anyway, this evening at 5:45 pm, she was taken back to the operating room again as the doctors were concerned about what was showing on her right top area of her new lung. They suspected she was bleeding. This minor procedure was less than three hours long and it went very well. What was showing on her right top lung area was only a blood form clots from the surgery on Sunday morning and it was not internal bleeding. That has now been rectified.
She also had a fever this morning but that has also gone down to 36.6 C tonight.
Thank you very much to Peter Gitedren, a catholic reverend for coming again to pray for her at her ICU room. Please, continue to pray for her that she makes a full recovery. Thank you and God bless you all. Good night.

Toronto Weather: Clearing up after a rain this morning, now its blue sky all over, sun is shining.
Good evening. We came back to our apartment for supper this time.
Our daughter, Jocelyn is continuing to improve. One of the doctors came over this afternoon and told us that everything is looking good so far. He hopes it continues the way it's going. They have also stopped giving her one of the high blood pressure medications early this evening and shes doing well. She has no fever and they have started on feeding. They have also stopped using one oxygen ventilator from the two she was using. Over the next few hours and days theyll also start to decrease on the things shes using like the sedation drug, etc.
That is all for my update for this evening and please continue to pray for her because we know God answers prayers. Thank you and God bless you all.

Toronto weather: Clear and a little bit cool
Good evening, just a little update on our daughter, Jocelyn. Shes doing just fine, just a little bit of fever this afternoon and the day nurse was saying her WBC count was also a little bit high but that is to be expected in serious cases like my daughters. she is however being treated for that.
The positive thing is, they have taken off or stopped using the ventilator she was using and shes starting to breathe on her own. The sedation drug was also taken off. Shes just on another drug that will take over what the sedation drug was doing and slowly get her to wake up, dont know when she'll do that but shell wake up soon.
The other positive thing to is, her room is starting to look very big as many life-saving machines are now been removed from there.
What else? Thats all I think. Nothing else I can write about or remember at the moment, so Ill just say to continue praying for her that she makes full recovery. Thank you all, God bless yous and good night.

Toronto weather: Overcast and rain, warm
Good evening, just a little report on our daughter, Jocelyn. Shes doing fine even with a slight of temperature of 38.1 C. She also had a bronchoscopy done this afternoon to look into her new donated lungs. Cultures were taken to find out if bacteria are growing inside. However, the doctors are guessing that there may be small infection only where her lines are. We will see about in two days. Thats when there will be results on those cultures obtained today. Other then that, everything else is fine with her.
Thank you to Stella Kioke-Koostachin and Roseanne Sutherland for sending the financial donations. We just received your Xpresspost mail yesterday.
Thats all for this evening and please; continue to pray for our daughter. God bless you all. Good night.

Good evening, just a night report on our daughter, Jocelyn. Shes doing well as yesterday, her blood pressure is just a little high and heartbeat rapid but shell be ok as medicines are used to control them.
She also received physiotherapy on her bed from one of the physiotherapists today. Her arms and legs were stretched out a bit as she has been lying on bed for too long.
As well on Monday, the doctors will do a Tracheostomy on her. Meaning, instead of having a tube down her throat from the mouth, they will do a small incision on her front soft neck area and insert a tube from there. This is common on all lung transplant recipients and it also helps them recover faster and they would be able to talk once they're awake.
Today, she also kept opening her eyes and appeared to be looking around. She was also trying to fight the tube that was in her mouth by biting on it and moving her head around as if she was trying to get rid of it.
My daughter, Laurie was also talking with her sister and she told her to squeeze her hand if she was hearing her, Laurie said she did. Anyway, thats it for my report on my daughter for tonight. Please, continue to pray her, God bless you all. Good night!

Good evening! Yes, were back at our apartment for our supper. Jocelyn is doing fine in spite of a fever and elevated WBC count. A nurse told us it was 21 today compared to 14 yesterday. They suspect its the lines and are giving her antibiotics to combat that though. Hopefully in two days that should come down.
As for the cultures that were taken from her lung area, inside the chest couple of days ago, they came back negative, meaning no harmful bacterias are growing inside. Thats one of the very good news we heard so far today.
Also, one of the transplant doctors came in this evening and informed us that everything is looking good for Jocelyn, that her heart, kidneys and new lungs are all ok. He reiterated of the Tracheostomy procedure for Monday.
We had a good laugh at Jocelyns room today. A nurse repositioned her in bed because she looked so uncomfortable lying down. As she was moved around she opened her eyes and gave that long angry stare at the nurse moving her. LOL! That was so funny. We believe she didnt like it when she was disturbed from her sleep. LOL
Anyhow, thats all folks and please continue to pray for our daughter that her recovery goes well, God bless yous and have a good evening.

Hello there! We came back to our apartment for supper. Its always hard deciding on our way back what to have, what to eat, what to cook, we just wish we were eating niska with dumplings like you people back home.
Theres not much to report on our daughter, Jocelyn. Shes doing ok and still the same as yesterday. She is only opening her eyes more and nodding her head up and down to our questions. We also placed her eye glasses on her and she looked around after that. It must be nice for her to see clearly now.
Tomorrow shell have that minor procedure in her room to have the tube placed on her front throat area instead of in her mouth. Shell be able to talk now and feel more comfortable. One of the doctors was also saying they'll do the Bronchoscopy again tomorrow, just to be on the safe side.
I think thats all. Anyhow, sign off now I guess, so have a good evening and continue to say your prayers for our daughter, God bless yous and to all who enter here. Cheerios!

Toronto weather: Looks clear and its warm, nice weather for strolling
Good evening! The procedure on our daughter went very well this afternoon. They did the procedure at 4 PM. Now she has nothing in her mouth, only a small feeding tube that goes into her nose. She looks a lot better with the tube off from her mouth and shes smiling. Shes also trying to talk but nothing is coming out but in due time words will eventually will. We told her to have patience and not to try very hard to talk right now.
Her high WBC (white blood cells) has also come down and thats a positive sign that antibiotics are doing its job. The bronchoscopy was also done but the doctor has yet to get back to us on that. She was also seen by a physiotherapist this afternoon, meaning some of her muscles in her body were loosened up abit.
I guess thats it for now. If I forget something Ill just update again later on tonight. Deal? Ok, you all have a good evening now and please, dont stop praying for our daughter, God bless you all.
Have a nice evening!

Toronto weather: Cloudy and warm, more like overcast now
Good evening folks. What can we say, each day looks very bright and promising for our daughter, Jocelyn but shes not out of the woods yet so thats why your continued support in prayer is very important.
Today, we were told by one of the transplant doctors that the bronchoscopy they did yesterday showed no abnormalities or problems with the new lungs whatsoever. Her vitals and gases are also still improving.
Also this afternoon, she sat up on a chair for the first time and she showed more awareness as she responded so well on all our questions. We also could tell when she wanted water but were not giving her that much as shes not allowed to drink yet. We just wet a tiny sponge tipped item and put it in her mouth for her to suck on.
Shes also continuing physiotherapy.
Thats it, nothing else to report on I guess. So, Ill just say take cares and God bless you all for your continued prayers.
You all have a good evening now!

Toronto weather: Overcast, beautiful breeze, looks like it wants to rain
Good evening to all my viewers! Were at home right now having our supper. Our sweet daughter, Jocelyn is still doing fine despite still being listed as critical on the patient critical list. Two more lines or small tubes came off out of her, another positive step or sign into her recovery. An ultrasound was done this afternoon. She also sat up on the chair again but she slept most of the time. She must have been so comfortable to sleep like that.
Anyhow, nothing else to write about, so Ill guess Ill just say good night for now and please continue praying for her. God bless you's!
Good night!

Toronto weather: Overcast and breezy, not hot just right, beautiful!
Good evening folks! I never thought Id say this but Kraft dinner and meatball stew is a very great combination of food! Yummy! First time we had it again. LOL
As for our daughter, Jocelyn shes doing just fine. The doctors just did another bronchoscopy this afternoon and everything is still looking good, just that her blood count in haemoglobin was a little low so they had to give her one pint of blood to elevate that.
They also didnt make sit her on a chair today; I think theyre giving her a break from that. Shes just always thirsty and always asking for water. We can read her lips when she says please. Sometimes, she gets mad when we say no because shes not allowed to have that much and she would give us that mean angry look. LOL
Hmm, what else, oh yeah, her vitals are all in the normal range and her oxygen level is just great at 100.
Thats all for now I guess, I have nothing else to report on and please continue to pray for her, thank you and God bless you all!
Friday, May 8, 2009
Time: 6:48 PM
Toronto weather: Partly cloudy, sunny and warm breezy day! Its probably plus 20 Celsius or something like that! Just awesome!
Good evening viewers! Were home for our supper, as you can see.
Our daughter, Jocelyn continues to improve. We thank God and for your prayers for that! Two more tubes from her upper stomach area came off, thats four altogether now, two to go. As well as a line from her leftside neck area and an IV line on her right arm came off.
In its place for the neck and arm IV lines, they have put in a pick line on her left arm. This means itll be easier and convenient for everyone, including herself.
She sat up on the chair again today and it was the same thing, the begging for water or ice to drink. She would get angry when we say no. I think shes back to her old self again. LOL
It was funny earlier and before we came home. Earlier, she was asking and begging her dad for water. Her dad said no. So a nurse came in and she asked her, the nurse gave some to her, just a little bit. After she got that water to drink, she laughed at her dad, like she was saying haha, I got water, haha! LOL
Then before we came home, she started to get upset again and she would wobble herself from side to side sitting on the chair. I guess she was uncomfortable and wanted the chair titled back a little. We said no and she got mad, awhile later the nurse came in and titled the chair back for her. Oh my God, you should have seen that big smile on her face. LOL she was actually teasing us about getting what she wanted when we wouldnt give it to her. LOL
Anyhoo, thats about it I guess, thats my evening update on our daughter. Please, continue to pray for her so that shell recover in good health. May the great creator bless you all. Good night!

Toronto weather: Overcast, windy and cool
Earlier this morning we had thunderstorm, heavy downpour and hail. Now its windy and cool. I believe the wind is from the north!
Anyway, were back at our apartment for our supper again. Our daughter, Jocelyn is continuing to do fine. She had an unexpected visitor this afternoon. She was asleep at first and when she awoke, she was very surprised and happy to see her aunt, Marina Shisheesh standing there and looking at her. Her face brought on a very big smile. LOL You should have seen it!
She also sat on her chair again and I gave her couple of flexible massage handballs to exercise with. She needs to build up her strength and it has to start with her hands.
What else, oh yeah, the number on the ventilator to assist her in opening her lung passage airways was decreased to 14 from 16. If she reaches the number 8, its possible that shell be completely off the ventilator and all the tubes except for the pick line. The ventilator is not breathing for her, shes doing that on her own, it only assists her to open her lung airways till she gets strong.
I guess thats about it for today. Its a slow day at the hospital, almost everyone is on their weekend off, so Jocelyn is having a rest too. Oh yeah, the ultrasound that was did couple of days ago showed no abnormalities on her liver, another good news!
Ok thats it, you people have a good night and thanks for your continued prayers. God bless you all!

Toronto weather: Partly cloudy and cool north wind
Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers out there, my mom, sisters, cousins, sister-in-laws, every mom that just comes by here, hope your day goes well and are receiving the hugs and kisses you deserve from your loved ones!
Anyhoo, just a brief report on my daughter, Jocelyn. Shes doing ok; she was already sitting up and watching a movie, SPEED when we got there this morning. The nurse who was looking after her said they already watched one movie together.
Last night before we came home, the number on the ventilator machine was again decreased from 12 to 10. However, they increased it again to 15 and down again to 13 before we came home for supper. They finally positioned her to left side lying down, so I guess that is the reason why they increased it. Maybe she was putting pressure to her left lung and her sap dropped but shes ok now. She also doesnt have a temperature.
I dont know what the heck is going here in Toronto; all we are hearing all evening are sirens. Coming home and walking by the police station, we saw lots of police officers, some were holding automatic weapons. Oh well, well probably see something on the news tonight.
Anyhow, I guess thats about it on my daughter, shes only acting the same asking for water all the time, thats all.
Ok, I guess this is it, so good night to everyone and stay safe, God bless you all!

Toronto weather: Overcast and warm, just right!
Ok, my report for this evening, Jocelyn is still doing ok, still improving little by little each day, shes getting stronger now and is really determined to fight on. Shes squeezing more with her hands than yesterday and pushing down her dads arms, more like shes trying to arm wrestle with him. LOL
The transplant team of doctors were also supposed to take off the remaining tubes from below her rib area today but they were busy we were told. Theyre going to do that tomorrow instead. Theyre also going to put on the Vac-therapy tube on her right groin area sometime tomorrow to speed up the healing process where her open wound is. That was the result from where the blood was taken to bring out the carbon dioxide couple of weeks ago.
Other then that, like I said she is still improving little each day. She also sat up for two hours on a chair this afternoon and asked for a breath mint from her dad who was eating them in front of her. When she was told no, she asked why. LOL Anyway, she understood why her dad would not give her any. Thats it! Have a good evening and please, continue to pray for her, God bless you all!

Greetings folks! Ok, its been awhile but anyway heres an update on our daughter, Jocelyn. She continues to do just fine. All the lines and tubes are finally all out of her. No more annoying lines for her and no more oxygen. Now theres freedom she says. LOL
She hasnt been able to get on her own feet and walk yet. She was sedated too long. Shes just still weak in the lower body area which means the legs. The physio people and we are still assisting with her on that and shes also due anytime to get transferred to the St. Johns Rehab Hospital on Cummer Street, north of the city, where the physiotherapy will continue on. And from there own shell be discharged.
A social worker came by already today and gave her the pamphlet for that place. She seemed very happy about it. Shes happy that theres a salon and internet in that hospital. Lets just hope that her favourite internet sites like the bebo and knet c-boxes arent also prohibited there. LOL
Anyway, I think thats it, if I forget anything Ill be sure to mention it on my next update. Ok, you all have a nice evening and be sure to continue on praying for her and everyone else thats hurting and in heartbreak today, God bless you all and good night.

Toronto weather: Overcast and scattered showers. There was thunder this afternoon!
Ok, heres a small update on our daughter, Jocelyn. She walked for about seventy-five feet today. This is her first time too since the transplant and we were quite surprised, we thought she would only walk for about ten feet. Were so proud of her and Caroline just arrived to witness it too. LOL
Other then that, she continues to do fine and everything looks very promising for her. Just tonight before we came back to our apartment, she wanted to walk again. LOL She says that shes not even out of breath like the last time when she had her own lungs.
Ok, thats it; you folks have a good night now and remember to pray for the sick and hurting everywhere. God bless you all and good night!

Good evening! I think i'm long overdue for an update, so here i am! So how's everyone been doin'? As for ourselves we're doing ok.
First, i just want to wish and say Happy Birthday to our son, Willie back home, many more to come. We miss and love you son. Check the mail at the post office for your birthday gift.
Ok, let me update on our daughter, Jocelyn. She's still at the Toronto General Hospital but plans are already in place for her to get transferred to St. John's Rehab Hospital tomorrow and it sounds like she'll only be there for two weeks and get discharged after that. Thank you God. He's amazing isn't he?
Anyway, she's continuing on her walking but she's still weak. Just today she walked like probably 200 feet but where else can she go eh? LOL There's only so much distance a patient can walk in a hospital and it's so crowded with equipment.
That's it, there's nothing else to write about her. She just gets better and better everyday. I didn't want to update every day because it would sound the same anyway. And thank you for everyone that have been praying for her, your prayers are very important for her and us. So, please continue to pray for her and everyone else that's sick and hurting today, wherever they may be. Good night and God bless you all.

Toronto weather: Overcast, 20 celsius, looks like it wants to rain
Good evening folks, here's my update once again. Our daughter, Jocelyn, walked without resting today, it was just amazing. She even talked while she was doing that, she never used to do that before. She's also now more energetic with her new lungs, she calls them Peanut and Dave. LOL
Right after her walking, she also went to the gym and rode a bike for five minutes, it was incredible. Then she walked back to her room afterwards. Thank you God, for your mercy and compassion.
Oh, another thing, she has not been transferred to St. John's Hospital yet, there was a setback and the doctors didn't want an infection to occur, they're proceeding with caution. They want her to heal before she leaves Toronto General., which is good for all of us.
That's it, that's all, and thank you for continuing to pray for her, God bless you all. Good night!

Ok, at the request of one viewer, here's my update!
It will be three months tomorrow, the day our daughter, Jocelyn had a double-lung transplant. And also, three of her medications will also be discontinued as well. More signs that she's continuing to improve. Thank you God for your mercy and compassion. Amen!
Anyway, we just got back about ten minutes ago from the St. John's Rehab Hospital. It is a 50 minute ride, on both the subway and bus, there from our area.
As for our daughter, Jocelyn, she is doing fine and have even more improved from her new exercises. She's almost beginning to manage on her own, like getting and standing up to walking.
She has also started on some new exercises which will even get her even more stronger. Her oxygen level is very good and is never out of breath like before. I will say that her lung capacity is very good near to excellent. She can't wait to get out from the hospital and do the things she never used to do before. Her faith in God is also very strong. she prays all the time for better health.
The hospital she's in, is very good and is very peaceful. The staff is very polite and nice. There are also trees all around which makes the scenery very beautiful. It seems like, it's out in the country, like back home, with just a couple of skyscrapers to be seen to the south. Of course, skyscrapers is the only thing our community doesn't have. LOL
An internet service was also installed on her laptop today by both her dad and sister, Laurie. They bought a USB Turbo Stick from the Bell Canada retailer at Eaton's. Now she can connect to internet from anywhere where cell service is available. I believe she'll update from room anytime now. lol
And before i sign off, please, remember to keep praying for the sick and hurting everywhere, wherever they may be, like our grandson, Myles Lazarus who is at the Kingston General Hospital. May God hear us on our prayers that he get well soon. We love and miss you, Myles, hugs and kiss kiss kiss!
That's all, good night and may God bless you all.

Evening Update
Hello Knet viewers! Welcome to my homepage! it's been awhile since I last updated. Just a short update for now.
I'm updating from Attawapiskat. I came home at the end of July to try and make our home liveable for our daughter, Jocelyn so that nothing harms her from her recent lung transplant.
They're still in Toronto at the moment and we still don't have an idea when they'll be coming home. At present she'll still be going for her physio exercises at the Toronto General. Oh, I almost forgot, she's out of the hospital now and is living with her dad and sister at their apartment. she's doing good other then the vomitting spells she gets once in awhile but that's normal for any lung transplant recipient.
Lastly, sending my prayers and best get well wishes to my grandson, Myles in Kingston. I love you my grandson and missing you very much. Get well and come home soon. Love you and kisses to you and your dad!
Good night!

Good Afternoon my family members, friends and viewers from all over! Welcome!
My goodness, what do i say, what do I write? Its been awhile since I did a thorough update here and I believe Im not always good at writing one either. LOL
We would like send our condolence to Lazarus' family in Kash, You are in our thoughts and prayers.
Anyhow, Ill start off by saying that my daughter, Jocelyn is continuing to do just fine. Shes enjoying her freedom without the oxygen and shes physically active and is going to the gymnasium sometimes to do her exercises. Shes also beginning to go places herself and shes telling us to stop worrying about her. Especially her dad. LOL
She also enjoys the company of her friends who sometimes come and pick her up for a ride in their vehicle.
In closing, I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Is it too soon to say that? LOL

Good morning to all my viewers! Welcome!
Wow, it's been awhile I updated. When was the last time I was here? Oh my God, December and it's already March and the snow is melting away very fast.
The weather in Attawapiskat has been mild all through the winter and hardly any snow at all. Right now, our outdoor thermometer is reading eleven above, sunny and the wind is so calm.
Nothing much to write about really. Our daughter, Jocelyn continues to do very good. Just a series of appointments she always go to that's all. She'll again be going to Toronto next month for her 12th month assessment appointment with her dad. They'll be there for at least a week. She also had her medications decreased by three medications last month. She was very happy about that.
At the moment, Jocelyn is receiving her day and night driving lessons from her dad. She's doing pretty good and I am very happy to say that she hasn't crashed yet. LOL High five to my daughter!
And as for myself, just keeping myself busy working at the school. And most of yous' have already heard that we are getting a new school. Just want to say i can't wait to walk and run the hallways again. LOL
Anyway, just make it short for now and thanks for coming. God bless you all and remember to keep on praying for the sick everywhere. Take care and come back again!

Hello! Its very nice outside this afternoon; but the wind is kind of cool from the East.
A year ago, on this date, our daughter, April Jocelyn (Dawsheen), was very fortunate to have received a pair of lungs by a donor so that she could continue on with her life with us on this earth.
Many times, I thank God for his sympathy and understanding and for this amazing event that he demonstrated so that we can go on worshipping him no matter how difficult life is going to get at times.
I also want to say thank you very much to those who assisted us in our time of sadness and pain, and to those who prayed and prayed and also to those who helped us financially, we will never forget you. It is very difficult for me how to put it into words of this gratitude, but im hoping that all of you will know what im trying to say here. Once again, on behalf of my family, thank you.
As for Dawsheen (nickname), let me update a little about her, shes doing very well, shes enjoying her cruises around the community with our new vehicle. She eats a lot, lol and shell again go for her next appointment to Toronto in six months time. Maybe, a minor appointment in between, i dont know, well see, but overall, shes doing well.
Take care and God bless you all, especially to Esther and Judy on the West side. Miigweetch!

Hello and good evening.
It's pretty late I'm suppose to be in bed by now.
I wanted to update about our daughter April Jocelyn.
she's continuously doing fine, she recently started working at Northern Store as cashier.
Anyhow, that'll be all for now. I wanted to do something, so I said, why not for Knet. LOL
Till then, take care and God bless you all and like my husband would say, Heeheehe. LOL

Hello Everyone!
Wow! Two months since my last updation. Awesome! LOL
The weather out there is just pure nasty. Big snow drifts popping up in some areas. No snowshoes are required yet though, I can still jump over them. LOL
My daughter, Jocelyn continues to do very well. She still works at the Northern Store as a part-time cashier. She was working at the Northern Store gasbar at first but the gas fumes is just something we were not very happy about, so she moved to another position in the main building. Thank you to the store manager for helping her out on this.
As for my 8 year old grandson, Myles, he's doing very very well. No more medications to take. No more Chemos. He's cancerfree. Thank you God, you're awesome for listening to our prayers!
Okay, while I am here, might as well wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year now. To all my family members all over, my colleagues, friends and most of all, to Judy Mamakwa and Esther Sakakeep out in the Westside.
Take care and God bless you all! Merry Christmas!

Greetings viewers! Happy New Year! Thanks for visiting!
There's not much to write about. I just thought of coming in and update my uncared for page aykooshay for once, since it's a brand new spanking shiny year. LOL!
My family is doing alright, my grandson, Myles, my daughter, Jocelyn, my other two daughters, my only son, Willie and of course there's this man, I hardly get to see. LOL Just kidding. Like he likes saying, I sawn him everyday! LOL
My other daughter, Laurie is at the DeBeers Victor Mine at the moment. She's training there to be an Administrative Assistant and she'll probably end up working at the site or maybe elsewhere after that, i dunno. Anyhoo, Happy New Year Danis! I love you! We love you! Take care out there, okay?
Okay, I need to check out my bannock now, it's in the oven baking right now, oh that smell, it's just heavenly, mmmm, can you guys smell it? Lol. Kidding. So again, thanks for visiting and Happy New Year! I am hoping our year will be a good one. Take care to everyone! Till next time, toodles!
