Surgery and the days after...

Thank you all for your many many prayers. Thank you for all of your love and support. I say that all the time and know that it's from the heart. You all mean so much to us and because we are in the throws of small children and full time work we don't get to see everyone as we would LOVE, but we carry y'all in our hearts and prayers continuously.

Okay so surgery went great. I was admitted at 9 and surgery started at 9:30. I was in recovery at 10. Dr. came in and checked on baby and he was happy to have all the company. He was moving around and looked good. Had a great heart rate and plenty of fluid to play in.

I had to have a spinal so I was awake for the entirety of the surgery... I would have preferred to have gone to sleep. Being awake for something so crazy extreme to me is NOT my cup o tea even though I couldn't "feel" anything but pressure... I was still in panic mode that they were going to hit a nerve and I was going to feel EVERYTHING!

But they didn't - THANKFULLY! I supposed they probably know what they are doing which is why I was referred to them ;).

So in recovery I could immediately move my feet and legs... slowly and barely but I could do it. SO I figured it would not take long to be able to leave. Their only goal was to monitor me until I could feel my legs and go to the restroom.

But though I could walk and feel my legs... my, um... bladder would NOT WAKE UP! So I had to end up staying until about 6:30 PM!  OH.MY.GRACIOUS! Torture!

So now we are home and I am taking it as easy as life allows. Pain is pretty much gone and there have only been a few signs of 'healing' taking place. AMEN! I am not allowed to do as much as I want or would like just b.c I have been put on light duty. Thankfully I am not on full bed rest so I will take light duty and take advantage of moving around and picking up little things here and there.

Again, we thank you and covet your prayers! I KNOW it's by the the grace of God that we are doing as well as we are and seeing so many wonderful blessings!
