***Update: Just wanted to let you know my husband is doing really great! They were able to give him something to help calm his stomach while he's taking his pills so he isn't so sick! They are working really well!! We have an appointment in a couple weeks to do some more testing on his thyroid...so we get to play the waiting game some more...but I'm very thankful that his meds are working!!

Hello everyone!! Just wanted to share my card from Sketches! {by tamara}

Sorry, I don't mean to "post and run", but today is a very busy day!! My husbands appointment with the specialist is later this afternoon...we all are very excited to get some more answers!! And my oldests' Kindergarden orientation is tonight...so we have to "prepare" for that!! He's so silly!!

Sketches #58

Again I want to thank all of you who have been praying for us and your sweet, encouraging comments!! Thank you all!!

Okay, here's my card for this last weeks sketch over at Sketches {by tamara}! I hope you play along with us this week...and make sure you check out her blog! The layout sketch was just released this morning...at let me tell you...it's awesome!!!

Update!!!

First I want to thank each and everyone of you who have been thinking and praying for my family!! It was been a really rough week...but I am happy to say it is all over!! The doctors have finally figured out what is causing all of my husbands heart problems...a hyper thyroid!! Can you believe that one little tiny gland can cause so many problems!! It was making his heart work 2-3 times harder than it should!! I am so thankful that this is finally over...yes we have lots of follow-ups and appointments with specialists, but at least they know what it is!! He is finally home from the hospital too...which is another wonderful blessing!! So again, thank you all of you for your love and support!!!
