Hello friends. To say this past month has been the most difficult in my life would be an understatement! Its been like being tied to a crazy roller-coaster with no way off!
My husband has a rare form of cancer which is difficult to treat. He decided he wanted to at least try. So we started down that path. A very bad infection then almost took his life 3 weeks ago. We were told to expect the worst. Horrible horrible news to contemplate let alone except.
To all our amazement he pulled through and has been able to come home in a palliative care arrangement. So as you can imagine a huge adjustment for us. But despite the challenges I am so grateful to have him home.
So it's just a day at a time now. Thank you to all who have sent such loving supportive messages. I could not have navigated my way through this without my beautiful family and close friends......as they say...."when the jar is shaken the cream rises to the top"
I have also never been so glad to be a needlewoman. My needle and thread have bought me comfort and kept me company through many a long hospital vigil.
Each week I looked forward to thinking about the #52tagchallenge instead of hospital rooms. So far I have managed to keep up.....tags 10, 11 and 12.
Aww Michelle, so sorry to hear about your hubby... I hope that he is better although it sounds like a long road ahead of you both.
ReplyDeleteAt least busy hands make long vigils a bit better to bear...
hugs to you
Oh dear Michelle, I am so sad for you all. What a shocking, sudden awful time you have had and are having. Thank goodness for sewing. The tags are so sweet - I just looked at them on Insta, as I had not come across this idea. Hugs and prayers to you, G and the family. xoxo
