My Dad

On Saturday my dad suffered a mild heart attack.  He was taken to hospital and today he had an angiogram.  After a couple of days of stress and waiting to find out what caused it, we just learned that he is ok. No surgery is needed, in fact he is wonderfully healthy.  


I have been with my mom and sister, and have not had the chance to comment on any cards for Freshly Made Sketches or the Friday Mashup. I am sorry to have not had the chance to visit your blogs.  


I just wanted to update family and friends and thank you for your thoughts. We had another family member who suffered a major heart attack in November and under went quadruple bypass surgery, so needless to say, I was pretty worried about my dad.


Thanks for stopping by!! I will be missing the Scrapbook Essentials Challenge this week.  I hope to play with my Freshly Made Team on Wednesday.


Hugs,
Lesley


**Edited to add: Thank you to all of my blogging friends, old and new. I appreciate your kind words of comfort and thoughtfulness. I am home now and off to bed. I am pooped!
