Ireland Postponed

Although I wish you a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year I have spent the holidays a little bummed out. My long awaited trip to Ireland has been postponed until early Spring, I fear. My fiance Paul has been getting increasingly sick until he was admitted to the hospital in Coleraine on December 26th. So many infections it is amazing he was alive. Infections in his lungs, kidneys, bladder, and prostate. The infection in his lungs and kidneys has cleared up well, but the rest is still being worked on as we speak. He is still in the hospital. There may be long term ramifications of all of this. We don't know all of it yet. He will need to get home from the hospital and start the rehabilitation process before we consider when I will actually go to Ireland. If you are so inclined, please offer some prayers for my honey. We need them in respect to his remaining illnesses.

On a positive note, the United States government approved our application for his Fiance Visa. Now he has to get well so that he can go for an interview and pick up the Visa. He will be free to come over here to get married. I don't know the time frame restrictions on the Visa, but I am certain that I will learn. As of right now we are looking at a late fall/early winter wedding.

I hope that you all had wonderful holidays and enjoyed time with your family and friends.

That doesn't sound too good Shauna. We're pray for him. Sounds like he really needs it, but I'm sure it will all be fine.

Glad I found your blog.
