Recovery!

I finally had my surgery on the 26th of October. At this point...10 days later, I think I may actually survive. I am so excited to get a little better each day and finally feel like a wife and mom that my kids can be proud of. There have been a few interesting experiences along the way.

First of all, I am so incredibly thankful to my sweet family, that has cared for me so well. My oldest daughter stayed home from school the day after the surgery to care for me, and then they next day my oldest son stayed home. I know that was a sacrifice for them. My cute husband has been working hard to take care of us. He told me today that he missed his "wing man." When I asked him what he meant he said "I am just so used to having you right beside me. Nothing is much fun without you."

I have also been thankful to the members of the ward that have helped our family along the way. Some have helped with laundry and some with meals. More than anything, I am thankful to the two Elder's who came and gave me a blessing on that first Sunday when I was honestly the sickest I have ever been in my entire life. I still feel the comfort of that blessing today.
