Big Hugs to you!

An infection and a card for Shaun
Hello lovelies - well its not been a good day for us today - the consultant painted a very bleak picture again - Shaun now has an infection that they're trying to get on top of - but its the reason behind the watery lungs from the weekend - the infection has stopped his kidneys working again (probably) and this is what caused the watery build up. That's two reasons why Shaun has been suspended from the transplant list - but Shaun is fighting and seemed very well today - despite the news from the consultant - I am full of admiration for my strong husband - he is wonderful. I made a new card for him tonight in the attic - I've used the grunge palette of aquatints and one of sheenas' new stencils plus a sheena stamp.
