An Update: Remaining Fall 2019 E-Books and An Update On My Daughter

Life has been very busy for our family lately. It has been filled with hospital stays, doctor visits and nurse/health care visits, which has made time go by very quickly!

As most of you may know, my daughter has several brain tumors that have also spread to her spine. She was diagnosed with the first tumor in her thalamus last year, May 2018. Since then, she has developed several more tumors. She has been on different forms of chemotherapy and was involved in a clinical trial.

A few weeks ago we had to send her to the ER because she was having multiple seizures. The doctors found where the tumors in her brain have spread and she also had developed a new tumor. After about a week in the hospital, they sent her home.

She had a couple of episodes this week: Tuesday she passed out when she was standing, had nausea and also some confusion when she talked. This morning, we and the nurse thinks she had a seizure.

At this point, she is hardly able to get out of bed because of the dizziness and lightheadedness. We are having to constantly care for her, coordinate visits with her nurse, communicate with her doctor, manage her medications, etc.

I have published 3 Capsule Wardrobe E-Books for the Fall 2019 season: The Teacher, Essential and French Minimalist. I started working on the Workwear E-Book, but due to the time needed the past several days in caring for my daughter, I am unable to finish it.

I will be unable to publish the remainder of the Capsule Wardrobe E-Books for the Fall 2019 Season, The ones I will not be published are: the Workwear, Stay At Home Mom, Athleisure and Men’s E-Books.

Also, I may not be active as much on ClassyYetTrendy.com or on social media, since I don’t know what the future holds at this point. My family and I need to devote our time in caring for my daughter and I need to rest myself (it’s a very tiring and emotionally stressful time).

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers during this time.

    My sister was diagnosed with brain cancer this year and I try to be there for her as much as possible. It shocked me how much information she was given all at once. Especially, considering she has a brain tumor and isn’t able to process it on her own anymore. God bless you and your family as you continue on this journey. You’re in my prayers.

    Thank you so much for sending out this update. I have continued to pray for your daughter, for you, and for your family. There is nothing in the world that is as difficult as having a child who is very sick. I can’t imagine how exhausted you must be, so I am so glad that you are taking a break and reserving your energy for your daughter, her care, and your own health.

    I will so miss you for the time you are away, but will continue to hold you in prayer daily.

    Peace to you,
    Ann Akin

  72. I sincerely feel for your daughter and you and your family. I know how challenging it can be and how you have to stay strong and keep going. I have twin daughters on ventilators with special needs and wheelchair bound. We have had nurses care for them 16 hours a day in our home since they got the vents. We have been to hospitals for months at a time. Keep up your strength. I pray God surrounds you.

  74. I am so sad to here the news, but praying for rays of hope. Miracles happen. Have faith and know that you are loved by many people.

I thank you so much for what you’ve taught me these past years, and giving me the confidence of looking put together and current. And that’s hard for an anxious person! You are a Godsend, lady!

  79. This must have been an extraordinarily difficult post to send. I suspect all your subscribers will wait patiently for you to be ready while you focus on life’s most important priority: love. And NO BODY is disappointed about missing out on a few capsules – last season was so great and is still in style!! From Down Under, I hope you receive even more love than you feel capable of giving, and that you are well sustained in provision and faith. Your daughter is in the best hands – with parents making the best decisions possible – as she runs this challenging race.

  80. Sweet Lady, your daughter is the most important thing right now. We all understand that and wish you comfort, strength, prayer, and love. Please do not at all concern yourself with anything else but your family. Hugs and prayers sent your way.

  81. Leanne, your family comes first, which includes taking care of yourself as well. We will be here when you are ready to return. Prayers for your daughter.

  82. Leanne,

    I have been a huge fan of your capsule wardrobe approach for the past 2+ years. Thank you for being an amazing resource to us professional business ladies as we take on the world in style without breaking our budgets. Your common sense, minimalist style goes the distance.

    My thoughts are with you and your family. I hope that your daughter goes the distance with you and that there is a bright future together. Please take care of yourself and your family and thank you for the inspiration you’ve shared with this community.

  90. Heartbroken for you and your family. May your time with her be a time of peace and comfort. If you are a person of faith, believe what He says in Hebrews 13:5-6 “. . . for He Himself has said, “I will never desert you, nor will I ever forsake you,” so that we confidently say, “The Lord is my Helper, I will not be afraid. What will man do to me?”
