Mom Had Her Surgery

Jump to Comments

It’s been a while since my last post and I am sorry. Things have been hectic around here but I am on vacation now for 10 days so I can spend time with mom as she is recovering and help her get back on her feet. Mom is doing well. Her surgery went off with out a hitch, that is once they got her into surgery. . . Her surgery was delayed 5.5hrs. She had surgery on Wed 1/9 and was home by Friday night. She was in quite a bit of pain and had several set backs but she is doing great now. She still has to take it easy and not push herself but she is off the heavy pain meds and is now just taking Ibuprofen. Her spirits are good for the most part but she is getting stir crazy and has caused a couple set backs by pushing herself to hard and getting out and going shopping and things like that. But over all she is doing wonderfully considering all she has gone through and I thank God for providing strength and healing for her.

I am also very thankful for everyone that has been there for the family. I was nervous that I was going to be overwhelmed because I couldn’t take the first week off so I was going to be working all day then coming home and cooking and cleaning and taking care of everything around the house. Thankfully though, friends and family have pulled together and have been great. I have only had to cook 1 meal since mom came home because everyone has been bringing us food and supporting us. The house is beautiful because of all the cards and flowers she has been getting and Misty came and helped clean. There is still a lot of things I need to do but I am on vacation now so I have plenty of time to do it. So all in all things are going well and I am thankful for all the support and provision from God friends and family. Not to mention how wonderful and supportive my boyfriend has been. Yes, I said boyfriend but that’s a whole other post ;)

  • I’m so glad your mom has been doing so well! Praise God for all the things you mentioned, plus the fact that you were able to get the time off to spend with her. He is good, isn’t He?

  • I was in Hawaii, but I was praying for her just the same! So glad I knew to do it from your blog!
