Projects for 26 Days at Roswell Park Cancer Institute

These were my "sanity projects"

 while my husband was in Roswell Park Cancer Institute 

here in Buffalo, NY

Caprice Doily

I am planning on giving this to Dr Al-Sukhni.

He had an Adenocarcinoma in his Duodenum.

The doctor told him it is a very rare form of cancer

but very aggressive.

I tell everyone it is so rare

that there is no ribbon color for it :(

Summer Splender
made from Aunt Lydia's #10 cotton thread
Colors, I believe, antique white and neutral.

Summer Splendor
I am planning on giving this to Dr Kukar
who preformed the surgery
and is my  husbands GI Oncologist

He spent 10 hours in surgery

followed by 26 days in the hospital.

He came home on a Friday

and was back in on the following Tuesday.

He came home with two drains

for the leaking Pancreatic juice.

The back one was all blood so he went to the GI Clinic

and ended up spending 48 hours back in the hospital

with the nurses keeping very close track 

of what was coming out of his drains

and what his blood work was saying about his health.

Lucienne' Summer Mandala
Made with Monaco #8 cotton thread.

When he came home on Thursday

the nurses said all of his tests

showed he was healthier than when he left on Friday

and he was very healthy then.

Hopefully we will be able to keep him healthy and at home now!
