Monday Morning

Kind of a wild night.  I think her stomach was really bugging her.  Not an easy thing to get your body back to work after it has pretty much been shut down for a couple of weeks.  It all just takes time.  We sure take a lot of things about our bodies for granted-until they don't work.
She is so restless. She keeps throwing her legs over the bed rail like she'd like to escape.  I don't blame her.  I want to escape right along with her.  We were hopeful she could get up and start some serious physical therapy today but the surgeons want her to lay low for a couple more days until they feel confident she's not going to start bleeding again.  Aughhh so frustrating.  So I guess Meg and I will have to get creative in keeping her entertained today.  Meg, Robby and Henry are still here with me and I can't even begin to say how grateful I am for them.  It hasn't been an easy thing being here with a baby, but Henry has definitely been a bright spot for us.  He even learned to crawl in the hospital waiting room.  This was the semester Robbie was supposed to be getting shadowing hours so he can apply to the pharmacy program,  but since he and Meg are here, that hasn't happened.  But he never complains, never acts like this situation is a burden.  He just patiently watches Henry hour after hour in the waiting room.   We definitely struck gold when we got him for a son-in-law, as we did with our daughter-in-laws, Jessi and Hannah.  I couldn't have hand picked better people to join our family and I hope they all know how grateful I am for them.
Well, I better quit writing and start entertaining my girl.  Thanks again for the  uplifting and encouraging comments you send.  They give us a much needed boost.  And thanks for your continued prayers.  Lisa
