How quickly things can change …

Good morning, afternoon, or evening (whenever this message is reaching you).
I wanted to give you a little site and life update. Currently, I am silently sitting beside my dad as he drifts in and out of sleep due recovering from his quadruple bypass surgery.
Everything happened so quickly once I received the phone call notifying me of his heart attack. I suddenly found myself 1,437 miles away from my home… dazed, yet ever so blessed to be holding my dad’s hand in mine as he recovers. I had hoped to reach out sooner with this email, but I haven’t had the time or energy to even open my computer.
With all of this going on, I am going to miss out on releasing a few recipes during this week and possibly the next. It all depends on how things go. I will be staying with dad in the hospital but also for whatever time is required since I will be his primary caretaker at home.
So please forgive me that I can’t hold up my obligation on nouveauraw as promised. Once I find my rhythm back here, I will get back on track and see what I can whip up in my dad’s kitchen to share with you. But first I need to give it an overhaul as I try to entice him into a healthier eating lifestyle.
In the meantime, keep leaving recipe comments and questions. I will answer them as time permits. I can’t express enough how much your support means. In the meantime, I will be dreaming up my next creations, knowing the excitement I get from sharing them with you.
blessings, amie sue

As you know, I love your recipes. I’m so grateful that you’ve created this website. I’ve used so many recipes from you. Speaking for myself, I’m perfectly content with the current content; if you don’t post anything new for some indefinite period of time, it’s no hardship for your fans. :)
I’m glad you were able to travel to be with your Pops while he recovers. Take it easy!
I really appreciate that you shard that Cheynne. It warms my heart to feel so supported and loved. Blessings to you! hugs, amie sue
Amie Sue, nothing is as important as family and especially our parents. They brought us into this world & they are the ones who comes first, because without them we wouldn’t be here. My prayers are with you and your father & Bob. Thank God he survived!! It will take time & patience & Thank God you are there to take care of him. Please don’t worry about “Nouveauraw.com” We all understands & love you.
Good morning Jeanette. Your words really touched me. Thank you for your loving support. I am so touched. love and hugs, amie sue :)

Hi Amie Sue, so sorry to hear about your dad. He is blessed to have you taking care of him with your beautiful spirit. Praying for his healing and sending love and light to you all, Laura
Thank you so much Laura. That means the world to me. This has been such a blessed time despite the tragic event that brought me here. hugs and blessings, amie sue
I always place my hands on my dad’s heart for hours to help with energy. Plus a Teddy Bear if he can see it, I did a Grizzly Bear and made him dance and then my dad laughed.
Health and Happiness
Good morning Suzanne, thank you for sharing that. It sounds like you had a great relationship with your father. I am taking up a Winnie the Pooh bear today. It has been a special bond between us since I was 4 years old. :) hugs and blessings, amie sue
My prayers to you and your Dad. I hope his recovery is quick.
Thank you so much Carol. hugs and love, amie sue :)
In my opinion, I think you should take a “leave of absence”. Everyone will stay with you. I will send prayers and light a candle for your family.
Thank you Kathleen. We appreciate the prayers and support. :) hugs and love, amie sue
Amie Sue,
You are doing the absolute right thing by being with your dad and not worrying about this site. I just lost my dad 2 days ago. I spent every moment I could with him and I wouldn’t change that for anything. I’m sure everyone else agrees with me. May God bless you. My prayers are with you.
Thank you for opening up and sharing that with me Paula. I am so sorry for your loss but thankful that you did have those last moments together. I appreciate the encouragement. hugs and blessings, amie sue
I hope your dad fully recovers, and does so as soon as possible. You are where you need to be right now. Enjoy your time with your dad. We’ll be here when you’re ready to send us new recipes.
Thank you for your support Benita. It means a lot to me. hugs and blessings, amie sue :)
My thoughts are with you and your family. I just went through my own scare last sunday I had 2 minor heart attacks which woke me up and sent me rushing to the ER from bed to surgery was a total of 1 1/2 hours ended up with 2 stents put in hence why I have joined this site so I can eat better and hopefully stay alive. My prayers for your dad’s healing process….
OH goodness. Bless your heart. I am so sorry to hear that you went through this. So happy to have you here with us. You, just like my dad have been given another chance. It’s never too late to make positive changes in your life. Thank you for opening up and sharing this with me. love and blessings to you! amie sue
Family comes first. Thought & prayers sent your way.
Thank you for understanding Shelly. I feel that same way. :) hugs and blessings, amie sue
Hoping to hear the good news from you about your dad, I am sending you all my spiritual hugs, positive energy and the sunrays of a March sun who is trying to bring us the spring.
May you return home soon with a smile on your face.
Thank you so much GG, I so appreciate that. :) hugs and love, amie sue

Amie-sue, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. May your father recover 100%; he is fortunate to have such a dedicated daughter. Please take as much time as he needs. You have given us so much – enough to keep us busy in the kitchen, for sure.

Thank you so much GrontTina. I really appreciate that. We had our first followup appt. yesterday and the doctor was very pleased with his progress. I miss my husband and puppy back home and do look forward to getting back into the swing of things. But I have to say that great blessings have come from this major scary event. Thanks for being here and your support. hugs, amie sue
Hi Amie Sue – Just checking to see how your Dad is doing. I hope all is well.
Good morning. Thank you so much for checking it. How sweet. :) My dad is doing pretty good. He got a slight infection in the incision site but each day gets better. Like anything else, healing is a bit like a roller coaster. Filled with ups and downs. We are waiting for the results of a CT and xrays to see how the sternum is healing. Such an amazing healing process. Thank you again for asking. amie sue
