I had my surgery today and everything went well. If I didn't know any better, I would think that all I did was take a nice medicated nap at the hospital! My doctor must be pretty good. The funny thing is yesterday a nurse from the hospital called me to get some of the pre-admittance questions out of the way and two of the questions took me by surprise... 1. Am I an organ donor? and 2. Do I have a living will? Here I was thinking that a D&C was a simple procedure that was going to take about 15 minutes tops! It got me thinking about things obviously and I was a little freaked out last night before bed for a while. Isn't it funny how you look at things differently when you are going under general anesthesia? When I got home John asked me if they gave me some caffeine in my I.V. because he said I was acting perfectly energized and happy not like a typical surgical patient after a procedure. Hmmmmmmmm........ Well, I love coming home to my boys everyday... but especially on surgery days! The magical healing power of three boys under the age of two could fix just about anyone for several reasons:
1. At any given point of the day there is someone that you could cry right along with or laugh right along with depending on what kind of a mood you are in....all emotions welcome!
2. Emotions can change from one extreme to another in the blink of an eye..........once again, all emotions welcome!
3. There is always someone to nap with almost any hour of the day
4. Laughing babies......what more do I need to say about that?!?
and
5. Giving a chubby naked baby a bath is almost clinically therapeutic (kinda like petting a dog).

I am requesting prayers for 2 people in need:
1. Uncle Ronnie is in the hospital with some heart related issues. We are praying that he will be home again in the next day or two.
2. My friend Laura (who is pregnant with twin boys) is having some issues with pre-term labor and is on bed rest. We are praying that she will keep incubating for three more weeks (to make it to 36 weeks) so that her boys can come right home from the hospital with her and do not need a NICU stay---I am pretty confident that she will make it!
Mom came to stay for a couple of days to take care of the boys while I went for the surgery. She is up to her old tricks of trying to force kids to take naps with her. I think that Sammy had her beat this time by talking loudly the entire time that she tried to sleep next to him...he's a smart cookie (Al and I used to wait until Mom fell asleep and then sneak out of bed and enjoy having the whole house to ourselves until Mom woke up)!

Hi Stephanie and JOhn
Stephanie, I hope you are doing okay! I was shocked to read you were having surgery. Hopefully you are on the mend. I come home and read your posts every night, and most days have a good laugh at what the boys have done that day.
My prayers are with you, your family and friend.
Take care
Maree
