UPDATE! *HIATUS!*

Instructions

*NEWEST UPDATE @ BOTTOM* Hi everyone! You probably noticed I haven't been active this week. That's bc two big things have happened for me: 1. it was my mom's birthday, and 2. the d0ctors found a gr0wth in her. My mom has had br-st (add -ea-) c@nc3r before, along with other c@nc3rs, dis3as3s, and illn3ss3s. I'm taking a break to take care of her. It could be a week, it might be a bit longer, idk. I will come back tho, that I can promise. I'm not leaving, only taking a break. tysm for understanding, I love you all so much! <333 THINGS EFFECTED: AC is on pause Secret Santa is on pause All orders are on pause *UPDATE #1*: Hi! It's been a while. We've been at the d0ctor/h0spital almost everyday, and the days we're not I'm doing school and helping around the house so I haven't had the time or energy to come back, which I'm rlly srry for! I'm going to reopen the Secret Santa for a short time, sort all the elves, and remind everyone to get it done. I have a couple of done and ready to go projs that I'll post when I get a chance. This isn't a full comeback, but I am going to try and be a bit more active. The gr0wth in my mom turns out to be in her p@ncreas, and the d0ctor's think it's most likely c@ncer but we're still waiting for the full results of all the tests they've been giving her. When we get the results I'll let you guys know. <3 The AC is still on pause, and I'm not taking any shop orders or requests still but I'll try and keep the Secret Santa going. When I can't work on it, the comments will be off, but when I can I'll reopen it again for a short while. It'll probably run like that from now on. I promise that all existing elves will be sorted and taken care of! If you've already been assigned someone, please finish their gift/s and add them to the SS ASAP. Thank you guys so much for all your kind words, support, and prayers! It means more to me than I could ever put in words and I'm so grateful for each and every one of you guys! <333 *UPDATE * We just got the test results back today. The gr0wth in my mom's p is c. They're going to start tr3atm3nts on her, but they (the tr3atm3nts) can be rlly draining and hard on the b0dy so she might need a wheelchair for a while - meaning my responsibilities are going from cleaning and cooking to full time care. I will still log on to Scratch once in a while when I get a chance, but again my posting will be almost nonexistent. Please, I ask for your prayers! Even if you aren't Christian, just this once I ask you to turn to God and pray. I don't know what to do honestly, and rlly there isn't much I can do but God has always been faithful to my family and mom. He healed her br-st (add -ea-) c and I have faith he will heal her now. Thank you guys so much for all your kind words, support, and prayers! I read through them and sometimes they make me start to cry a little bc your support really does mean the world to me. It makes me feel less alone in this situation. <333 I promise the Secret Santa is still going on, and again for everyone who joined plz finish your elf's gift/s and add them to the SS ASAP. I'll continue to update you guys as this continues. <3 *UPDATE * My mom is going to be starting ch3mo the day after Christmas. Her c is stage 3 already. I don't know how long she'll have to do it (at LEAST 2 months) and I'm going to have to take care of her full time. There's a chance she'll be n all the time, that she'll be pvking, she'll lose her hair, she'll lose her hearing and/or eyesight, not be able to move, not want to eat, get really bad fevers, and a bunch more. My birthday is on the 23rd, and from then on out for ab 2 months I might only check in once to post the Secret Santa elf list on the 24th. After ch3mo, she'll have to go through surgery, with a long recovery. I don't know how long I'll be gone this time, but it's safe to assume it'll be more than twice as long as the last time. Your prayers have been such a blessing, and thankfully the doctor says he'll do everything he can to make sure my mom survives this. <333 I love you all, and I'll return as soon as I can. XOXO - dollette *UPDATE * Hi everyone! It's been a couple months since I last gave an update. I have logged on a couple times in January and once or twice in February (this being one of them) and I figure I should fill you in. My mom has done 2 rounds of ch3mo (3 days straight every 21 days) and is going in for her third on Monday. The first round has been the worst, with her in constant pain and not being able to move or even really talk much but thankfully that is all past and she is doing really well this cycle. She's up and moving around and has been really cheery. Her hair has fallen out almost completely except for a couple small patches, but she's still as beautiful as ever. God has been taking care of us tenfold and I am so grateful for all your prayers and encouragement! - CONTINUES BELLOW
