We went and saw him this morning at the hospital and he looked great. His brother and his wife were there when we arrived and shortly thereafter, his grandson and his great-grandsons arrived and then a woman with the cutest therapy dog. So it was quite a full house and lots of love going around.
He had had a restless night and he dozed a bit while we were there but his spirits were good. He did express some anxiety about going home and being alone - then he added that he felt better knowing we were next door. That really tugged at my heart.
Anyway, so today is a lot brighter around here. Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday!
Here's some fun Easter stuff ... I just realized I need to make my Easter cards this coming week, don't I?!

Happy Monday Sally! Well the sun is out, it is crisply cool and I feel better as my second oldest sick little one awoke feeling better after a weekend's sickness, and Sophia is all clear too. It sure can gloomy a house up when half the family is sick. But thank you for your well wishes and for the update on Fred. I am sure it is helpful to his family too, to know that y'all are his neighbors. hopefully with my brighter mood I will take some of your good crafty ideas and perk up our home a bit. luvs, Jenny
ReplyDeleteHi Jenny!
ReplyDeleteHappy Monday to you! Thank you so much for your kind words about Fred.
I'm so glad to hear that you guys have made it over the hump and are beginning to feel better. My gosh that's rough when half the family goes down and you're sick yourself! I'm sure you're so very happy to see the new week arrive.
Sending hugs and wishing everyone a sniffle free week and some rest and creative fun for mom!
