He is officially in his room. I ordered him some dinner. He's starting with some soft stuff.... potato soup and 3 scoops of ice cream. And after that I'm hoping he gets some sleep. His blood pressure is a little elevated, but that's likely due to pain. Some rest should help with that. Thank you to ALL of the prayers that were surrounding him today. I know many of you were hoping to visit today. As thankful as I am for the love and support, I greatly appreciate your understanding that today was a really chaotic day. I mean.... 9 hours of surgery?! WHAT?!!?? I've said it from the day I started dating him. He's the strongest man I've ever met. He is a super hero to our boys. And I am in awe of how awake he is after everything his body has been through today.
Sure, there's tons of things we've learned from the doctors. But he would like to share that news at some point himself when he's ready to start typing again. For now, he needs rest. To all of you texting me today, I hope you don't think that I was short or rude or ignoring anyone. I love you all. I appreciate the concern for him and myself. It was just easier to say it all once & send people here.
Now... to wrap up this day, I'd like to share what we were up to at the beginning of the weekend. Debra, my brother's wife, arranged for a family portrait session with her friend this past Friday as a gift to my mom for Mother's Day.
So despite the tornado like weather we drove through to get there, Purple Pear Photography was able to make it look like a beautiful day!!!! AND we have beautiful pictures of our fantastic 4.
I will try to post more or maybe let him dictate or type soon. In the meantime, I'll try to be better about checking the phone.
PRAY! FIGHT!! WIN!!!
