I did'nt get my post up for yesterday, due to the fact that I was totally exhausted. Its really funny how that works because I sat around the waiting room and C's room all day, not doing anything. Its a mental thing I think, just draining on my spirit.
C had surgery yesterday afternoon. They took him to the OR around 2ish and the doc had said the surgery should take about 2 hrs. We ll 2.5 hrs in the nurse calls out to the waiting room and said its gonna be another hour because things were goin well. Ok fine with me thanks for the update. I braced myself for that hour and then it came and went along with another hour. The waiting room volunteers started to go home and people started dwindling down. Finally it was Marv, a friend of mine and myself all alone. It was very trying because for those who know me, know that I'm not a very patient person. It was all I could do not to go crazy inside. Then finally we got the call from the recovery room that C was all done. Whew...that was a long day! Everything went well and C has at least 1 more surgery on fri, if his donor sites have all healed. One praise that we have is C will not need grafting done on his fingers!!!! He has a spot on the side of his thumb they will need to do, but I was tickled when the doc said that!
Yesterday Marv called me about something and said he was on his way up and I asked him who was bringing him up and he said he's driving himself. Finally he has almost all of his bandages off his hands. He feels like a free man! Its just one more thing that I wont have to worry about.
Am gearing up for today so I shall say good bye until later.

Amy- you are living one of my (and many mothers I'm sure) worst night mares. I admire your strength and faith. I know its a long shot, but if there is anything I can do, in addition to praying for you guys like crazy, please let me know.
ReplyDeleteAmy, I'm so glad to hear that his surgery went well and Marv is doing so much better. Hang in there, you've got quite a ride yet but God is in control. He will never give us more than we can handle, just situations that can help us grow. Growing can hurt. I'll keep Coleson and you in my prayers that the surgery Friday goes smoothly. - Ina
