Hiya everyone, apologies for the delay in posting i've not been too well. And i've not even felt like making cards! Now there's a first eh? I did make one earlier on today, we were at the hospital this am for Chloe's yearly cardiac appointment, for those who don't know she was born with a very serious and very rare heart defect. She had her first op at 3 1/2 then the 2nd at 13yrs old. They weren't expecting her to pull through either (they didn't think she'd even make it through the operating room the 1st time) She had homographed valves put in at 13, and we were told she should get 15-20 yrs from them before her next op, it went down quite a bit as it didn't work as well as we'd hoped. Well the outcome today was good, she has 2 leakages, 2 narrowings, 2 replaced valves, the left side of her heart is double the normal size and blockages. Her heart leaks a good bit of blood but the results showed that it hadn't deteriorated too much, nor has the narrowings etc There was a big question mark over her having babies and it's been eating her up for 2 yrs, today they said she could but it had to be well planned, and approved by the surgeons. She's so happy bless her, so are we as it's made her become distant with her nieces and nephews as it hurt so much. She was also told she could horse ride as her boyfriend has horses and he's been trying to get her on one, plus she loves them! She's not allowed to be too strenuous nor compete but it's somethiing at least! The only downside is she's got about 5 yrs till the next op, this also means 5 yrs to have children as the next op means artificial valves and she won't be able to sustain a pregnancy. So it's a mixed one but mostly good!!!!! I'm so unbelivably proud of her, she never ever complains, even when she was tiny, she just got on with it, she never cries unless it was over not having children and is ALWAYS smiling, not only did she make medical history which was filmed and is now used to teach others, but she's been my inspiration and i love her with every breath, She's my angel from heaven!
Right enough sloppy rubbish as i'm feeling a wee bit emotionally fragile so we'll leave it alone lol. This card is for 3 challenges, shoulda been 5 only i forgot buttons for one and ran out of time for the other *tut* typical! Three's still good though, the first is a sketch from Just christmas and Birthday cards,which was a good simple one, but very adaptable, the 2nd is cute card thursday they had a colour theme of teal and red, YUM! and lastly Stamp something, they asked for a charm or two, easy for me as i always use them lol. The papers digi, image watercoloured, i've added a die cut tag thats been stamped with a wee daisy stamp and versamark,my nesties, red ribbon, flower charm and roses. Hope you like it and i'll be making some more tonight so check back. Oh and thank you so much to all the luvlies who left me comments on my last post, sadly i didn't make DT, gutted? yep! But the practice is good lol.
Don't forget to leave some love and i'll pop over to see whst you've all been up to. Hugs
