The Latest NieNie Update

February 2, 2009 by WendyB

Gorgeous blogger Practically Perfect in Every Way alerted me to the latest update on NieNie, the blogger who was critically injured in a plane crash last summer. I urge you to read the story and check out NieNie’s blog here. Yes, she’s back to blogging. It’s a miracle.

Photo from NieNie Dialogues

Last year, you generous blog readers helped me raise nearly $3,000 for NieNie’s expenses, with Deja Pseu leading the way. (DP, your earring design is underway at last! You’ll see it in 2009, I swear!) For all my NieNie posts, click here.

UPDATED FEB. 6 TO ADD: Don’t panic, people. There is a Blogger error that temporarily has NieNie’s blog down. Her sister says they’re working on it.

    I am glad she was able to come home! It will be a bit of struggle for her but she has shown she is strong beyond what she proably thought herself capable of.

    Wendy, I was going to ask you about her, then this, so thanks for the notice of the update.

    How excruciatingly bittersweet this story is…This woman Nie Nie is an angel. She’s so strong and has so much love around her. She is going to thrive once the pain subsides.

    I would love to help her with her kids.
