This past week has been a crazy but exciting week!! Early in the AM Wednesday Joe had to take me to the ER as I had another gallbladder attack. I was admitted on Wednesday morning and kept overnight as I was scheduled to have surgery on Thursday at 1:30pm. I ended up having surgery at 10:45 that morning and was back to the room by 1:30pm. Came home that evening. All is well. I am feeling great and getting stronger each day. I will continue with the lowfat diet and begin introducing foods slowly back into my diet. Papa and Berry had Emma come visit for a few days while I was recovering from surgery. It was wonderful to know that she was in such great care. We are so blessed with such great family and friends. As you can see from the pictures she just loves to be at Papa and Berry's house. :) She enjoyed picking berry's, taking walks with Carson and Papa, playing in the sand, looking for chipmunks and eating Berry's wonderful cooking. :)
Joe is headed back to work tomorrow. He is ready for a break from all the hard labor of working outside this week. In between hospital runs...he filled dirt in around the foundation in the front yard, dug a new trench and laid a new tile in the backyard along the foundation and raked dirt in many holes and low spots around the yard. Even though he didn't complete his long list of jobs...he worked very hard to get done what he could. I am very proud of all the manual labor and hard hours he has put in to make our home better.
Amidst me being in the hospital, Joe took Ava to the neurologist on Thursday for her first appointment. She is doing really well and growing like crazy. The Dr. was pleased with her progress and will see her the beginning of Sept. We will continue to keep a close eye on her medicine levels with periodic blood checks.
