Home again, home again

Ok, if you didn't notice, I don't post on our blog very often. But, today is an exception.

Stephanie is home from her surgery. We got there at 8 this morning. Checked in, then she went back for prep around 8:30, then I was allowed to go back and be with her around 9. We decided that since we were near the mall, instead of me just sitting in the lobby all morning, I should do some shopping. So, I headed out for some groceries, last minute Xmas gifts, and a small tv for our bedroom so Steph has something to do over the next month of imobility.

I returned by 11, but Steph didn't even get to the OR until 10:30. I was expecting her to be done by 11:30 at the latest, and then we were gonna get burgers take out from bugaboo creekhouse, a local steak house we like. But, her surgery did not end till close to 1. The doc came out,with a bunch of pics of the inside of steph's knee. He was able to repair the one tear in the meniscus, buy not the other. He removed the old bolt, and reattached the acl. He also did some tiding up of some loose ends hear and there while he was in there poking around.

She finally woke up around 3. After talking, getting something to munch and drink (neither of us had anything all day) and getting dressed, I threw her into the back of the car, hit up bugaboo for burgers ( bacon blue cheese, yum) and took them all home to relieve Amanda and Jane, whom graciously watched our kids all day. And thanks to MaryAnn as well, Franco's mom, who watched Noah part of the day. Thank you all for your help!!!!!!!!

So, I go steph's six prescriptions filled, drugged her up, fed the kids, boiled maeve's bottles, put her to bed and am now watching Diego with Noah.

Long day!!!

Steph is doing well and nurse Paul is on the case!

Thank you thank you thank you to everyone who has helped and who has made or will be making food!!! You have no idea how much we truly appreciate all of the support, love and prayers!

God bless,
Paul
