Well, I was hoping to have a studio update for you this week. The trusses were delivered on Tuesday and we had planned on putting them up Friday and Saturday. Life had other plans for us and Wednesday morning Jesse wound up in the emergency room for 5 hours, then had to meet a specialist on Thursday and had surgery on Friday! Definitely not what we had on our to do list. But when life tells you to slow down, you better listen!

Jesse is healing well and I won't get into too many details here on the blog, but we are still awaiting results from the surgery and more treatment may be required. In the meantime, he's on a 10 lb. weight restriction, so putting trusses on our addition just isn't happening. So we're trying to decide if we ask family to take on this task or just break down and hire a contractor to get things finished up before winter rears its ugly head.

This year has sure been a challenge with 3 family deaths, 2 close family friends being diagnosed with stage 4 cancers and now Jesse's unexpected surgery. But even with all the bad, we have had many good things happen this year. With every blow, we roll with the punches. We look at our lives and see how blessed we are. We're not the type of people who dwell on the negative and always look for the silver lining.
Hug your family today and think of all the ways you are blessed. I know I will be :)
Hope Jesse will be doing better soon! That must have been a scare to the both of you.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you guys. Fingers are crossed
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm keeping you and Jesse in my thoughts and hope he heals quickly (and doesn't need any more treatment!). Kudos to you for looking at the silver linings despite the challenges you've face this year.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and Jesse. You have had a rough year!
ReplyDeleteCould you hire a contractor for the hard part -- wielding those heavy trusses and getting them secured? Then rely on family help once it is enclosed? Winter will be here before we know it.
Love the Roll With the Punches necklace. Stay strong!

Hugs!
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping Jesse in my thoughts and hope everything goes as smoothly as possible this week. What a hard year it's been for you two! As always, it's so refreshing to see your positive attitude, even when things are totally throwing you for a loop. Having a positive outlook will ultimately make things easier. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteOh no! This isn't good news at all. I hope Jesse is doing well and hopefully doesn't need more treatment. Have you been looking at contractor costs? I hope your family will be able to help you out a little bit. I know it's a big job, though. What a year it's been. Through all the bad, you're still so positive in your thinking, and that's such a great thing! Hang in there, and know you inspire others to stay positive too.
ReplyDeleteHugs, & hope that Jesse will get better soon, hang in there and it is great that u are positive coz that's the most important thing, that's life it doesn't always go as we plan, it is best to count our blessing, pray, never loose hope and move on!
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you guys, Edi! I hope everything works out ok and Jesse is feeling better soon. There's no way to prepare yourself for these types of things, but I have to say you really seem to handle life's challenges well. You always inspire me to be strong and positive in my life too. xoxo
ReplyDeleteSending 'get well soon' wishes to Jesse! You certainly have had a difficult year, it's good that you have remained positive and stayed strong! You are an inspiration Edi!! Stay strong!!
ReplyDeleteIn spite of all the pain and the suffering, there are always blessings to experience. The love and care of family and friends is a treasure.
ReplyDeletehugs.
I'm sorry to hear this news but will keep you guys in my prayers. There is always something to be thankful for and you are an example of that! :)
ReplyDeleteYou have been in my thoughts all week! You are such a strong person and Jesse is lucky to have you at his side. ((hugs))
ReplyDeleteYes, you've had quite the year! I'm impressed with your ability to take it all in stride. Best of luck and I hope things go well for the rest of the year!
ReplyDeleteOh no! I'm so sorry to hear about Jesse. How scary that must have been. I hope and pray for a quick and thorough recovery for him. You have shown so much strength and positivity throughout all of the hard stuff life has thrown at you; it's inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI hope Jesse pulls through well! Life certainly has a way of throwing curve balls. I try to think of everything happening for a reason (although the reason can be difficult to figure out). It has been a rough year for you so I hope 2014 is a fabulous year to balance it out. Stay positive. That positive energy will rub off onto Jesse helping him heal quicker. :)
