Gail McGaffigan Stricken, at Home; Grateful for Survival



Dear Friends,

I have been hospitalized in Neural Intensive Care since Wed., Jan. 21, after suffering a ruptured brain aneurism. I will be here for some time. Although my recovery is a very painful road, I am expecting an excellent outcome.

It will be a while before I'm well enough to write again. In the meantime, I hope you will enjoy my existing blogs and books.

Please do not send any flowers or money, but cards and letters would be very much appreciated; not just for myself, but also for my husband and children who are struggling with this.
(I do not wish to attract spammers, but please be sure to address this as you would a typical PO Box)...

Mrs. Gail McGaffigan
Post Office Box SIX TWO TWO TWO
Warwick, Rhode Island ZERO TWO EIGHT EIGHT SEVEN

This is also a critical time to pray for me not to have a relapse; I am at high risk for that for at least another week, before my chances begin to improve. Pray that I do not suffer any "vasospasms," or at least that I am strong enough to bear them.

Sincerely,

Gail

Positive Living has Paid Off!

 


I have not posted here for a long time. Above is a sample of what has kept me away for so long - I have become an author. It was a long time in the making, and when the opportunity came along to publish my work, I embraced it. I have now published 18 books (not counting various editions of the same book: paperback, Kindle, etc.). I have also launched two more blogs, and hope to begin doing podcasts sometime this year. Above are a few of my covers.

Among my books are a picture books and a handful of novels. There are also several curricular titles which have made "top ten" lists over at Amazon.com.

In many ways, this has been a very difficult year for me, too, with many trials and much sadness. It is only my determination to stay positive that has pulled me through.

I look back fondly on this blog, and hope I can get back to it sometime. In the meantime, I can be reached at any of my blogs, and am also on Twitter, so please join me, and  - most importantly...

...stay positive!
