After coming home from paradise, I went to work! Running around crazy getting the house ready for our guests coming: my mom, Lolly, and her sister, Aunt Amy, were coming in to help us out. They came in on Wednesday afternoon, Thursday we showed off a bit our piece of Rome, and then the day came....
Blake was scheduled for surgery on Friday morning. So thankful Lolly and Aunt A were here to hang with Kate while we were with Blake!
After reading for quite a bit, we were finding other ways to pass the time in the waiting room:
A good shot... he was not showing any anxiety if he had any!
Daddy was playing games on his phone!
All suited up and ready to go.
Now a smile!
I was the chosen one for going back with him! I'm thinking this could be a new fashion statement. :o)
Too relieved to remember to take any "after" photos. But the surgery went very well! The doctor almost scared me when he walked in 45 minutes early, but had wonderful news two fewer incisions than expected! After enjoying a little bit of time with a delirious child, we were headed home.
Kate was enjoying being spoiled and pampered with Lolly and Aunt A! Later the girls headed to the mall and then to open gym while Blake settled in and Daddy caught up on work.
These two were snapping pictures non-stop! Thank you so much for being here for us! We love you both SO much.
It was an unforgettable time. Precious memories with the both of them. I am SO forever glad I defied mommy and daddy and snuck into Blake's room and talked to him after prayer time. I think I will always remember every word of that conversation :D
ReplyDeleteThe rest was wonderful too and I will remember soo much of it too and...well thankfully we have a lot of pictures ;)
Blake and Kate,
ReplyDeleteYou are the best little soldiers ever! I have never seen two kids behave as well as you with such adversity. I know that God works within you and that you are listening to his voice. Please keep listening to his voice always! I love you both more than you can ever imagine!!!
Love Lolly
