Thank you so much for all of your well wishes and prayers

Hi Everyone, Just a little update and thank you.

First, Russ is doing a bit better but is still in the hospital to be observed and suffer through a couple more tests.  It all involves his wonderful loving heart. 

Second, Never fear I am still planning to be in North Chili, NY to teach on June 27-28.  I am preparing great projects!

Third, THANK YOU FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART for all of your e-mails, comments and prayers.  There is no better community out there than the stamping community.

I came home from the hospital this evening completely depleted until I started up my computer and read everyone’s comments and e-mails.

I must share this one that I received from Lisa Thompson.  She wrote “I am sorry to hear Russ is under the weather…here’s a little ditty to (possibly) cheer him up…

I’m sorry to hear

Russ, m’dear

That your bride has worn you to a frazzle

Making you cut sponges and cardstock

So us stampin’ ladies she can dazzle

With her brayering and layering

She does amaze

And we know you work for days

To help her prep for her road shows

Us carders sure keep her on her toes

We thank you, Russ, from the bottom of our brayers

And we are sending you some powerful prayers

Because we want you better very soon

‘cause Michelle can’t miss her next gig in Saskatoon!

Hugs, Lisa”

Thank you everyone!  You have brightened my day and lightened my heart.

Until my next post. . . .

Huge Hugs,

Michelle

    Michelle – I think I just heard a huge sigh of relief across the land – so glad your husband is doing better – we’ve all been holding our breath! But what am I saying? With this many people sending “good vibes”, of COURSE he’s getting better!
    Hope he continues to improve every day until you can get him home again and put him back to work!!!

    What a great ‘ditty’. I am sure you had a bit of a chuckle when you read it. Humour helps. I am wishing you all the best news possible.

    Oh, dear! I’ve been down in the back, and haven’t done much blogging this week. I wasn’t aware that Russ had been in the hospital. You certainly have our thoughts and prayers. Take care of yourself, too, Michelle! Lisa, you rock! How much fun! Missouri blessings to Michelle and Russ.

    I’m glad to hear Russ is a wee bit better. There is nothing so stressful as having a loved one in the hospital. I’ve been the patient and I’ve been the one holding the hand of the patient – I truly think it is easier to be the patient! I will continue to hold both of you close in my thoughts and in my heart.
    Hugs, -mary

    Here’s hoping that your Russ will have a full recovery VERY soon! You can’t keep a good man down (and I’m assuming he’s good, since he has YOU!)…and I hope he’ll be up and running in no time. The hospital is NO place to spend valuable time!!!
    Have a good weekend. And blessings to you and your family.

    Sending good wishes your way. Heart issues are scary, but it sounds like Russ is in good hands. Take care of yourself, too; Russ will need you to watch out for him when he gets home.
