Dear Poetry Soup Members-Update

I have good news! My husband Michael was able to come home from the hospital in time for his 71st birthday August 9th. He is doing better and lost 60 lbs., 40 of which was water, in the hospital. Had he waited a week longer he would have died doctors said. He is slowly recovering. I know that all your prayers help so much and I am very grateful to all of you for your prayers. Thank you so much for all your good thoughts and prayers. Love, Connie

*****************************************************


I would like to ask for your prayers and good thoughts for my
husband Michael. He has been in the hospital for a week and
why I have not replied to all your wonderful comments on my
poetry or commented on yours. Thank you all for your kindness.

My husband’s heart is only beating at 20% of its capacity. 
He may not make it home from the hospital where he wants to 
be. I have great faith in prayer and I know that it will help. 
My daughter and I will be going to see him as soon as she gets 
off work and we will be doing reiki on him (touch healing). 
Thank you all for your support and your prayers. 
Love and Blessings, Connie

That's my church - I guess you went 'past tense." I love Unity and all the truth lessons I've studied. Just had to say, 'hi' after seeing you recognized the 'speak.' ... CayCay

Dear Connie, I have had some weeks away from PS, and I just saw this. So sorry for all your dear husband has been through, but by what you say here is is home. I hope things are still going well for him and, of course, good thoughts and prayers from me. Hugs, Sandra

My dear friend. I have just read of your husbands condition. May I wish him a most speedy and complete recovery! God bless him...and you, Connie Marcum Wong. Your friend always, John. P.s I have met many generous and deserving people on this site. However, out of all the many people here that I have come into contact with you are my most favourite. Above all other people you have encouraged and praised me more than anyone. I will never forget your kindness, Connie - never!!

Connie, I read your note in Hotmail and left you a small message. Just going off and saw your nice comment on ARmand. I really miss that guy. He has the hugest heart and is going through so much with his mom and daughter. Hope you can come up with something on castles. haha. (I am stumped) Good night, sweetie
