Home!

So sorry I have not updated the blog. Scott was discharged and we came home today. I didn't have time up update before we left for the airport and things were, well, crazy when we got home. There were balloons and a cake and a Welcome Home posters. Thanks kids! It was wonderful! Daddy and I and Gabe are thrilled to be back home again.

Scott is doing well but very tired from traveling all day. It is going to be a tough few months for him. We will be going back to Mayo in about 4-6 months. Now, we pray for healing and wait.

Thanks to everyone who prayed for us. We love you. Your prayers were heard. And a big thank you to my wonderful children. You are the best!!

Recovery Day #4

Hey kids! I hope you are doing your school work and being good for Grandma and Grandpa.

Daddy doesn't like having his picture taken but I was able to sneak this one while he was out walking the halls.

I do have some great news. It looks like we will be able to come home tomorrow! I'll let you know for sure after we see the doctor again this evening.

Oh, and Gabriel really likes Daddy's hospital bed. =)

Recovery Day #3

Everything is moving right along with Scott's recovery. Today they took out the IV and he was able to shower. He looks and feels much better and it is easier for him to walk around without that IV pole and all those tubes. He is eating now and had Cream of Wheat for breakfast. Yummy! He should be able to come home soon.

Kids, don't forget to watch the Superbowl tonight. We'll be watching here. Gabriel is all ready. =)

Recovery Day #2

Hey kids! Daddy is doing better today. It must be because of all your prayers. And, he has been reading your comments on the blog. I took the laptop in this morning and he was able to see your snow day pictures.

I gotta go now. Gabriel is fussy but here is a pic of Daddy and Gabe reading all the comments. =)

Recovery Day #1

It's tough the first day. Scott is pretty uncomfortable to say the least and struggling a bit with nausea. But he did get up and walk this morning.

Thanks kids for all the prayers. Continue to pray for Daddy to get up and walk, walk, walk....it hurts but the more he walks the better he will feel. He has a pretty large incision and so it's tough to move around. I'll take some pictures of him walking soon. We didn't get any today cause his hair was too messy and I left his brush in the hotel room. LOL!

And, it is official. My cell phone is dead. The charger was broken in our luggage during the flight so.....if you need me call the hotel.

Gabriel is doing great. He made a friend. Her name is Leah and she is also 4 months old. We see her everyday. =)

Be back for updates soon!

Back from surgery.

Well, Scott is finally in his room. Gabe and I were able to visit for a bit. He is having some pain but in good spirits. I still have not been able to speak to the surgeon but assuming all went well. Hopefully I be able to catch up with him tomorrow to find out all the details.

Hey kids, Dad says he loves you too. Don't worry, he is doing just fine. We will be home in no time. I told him all about your snow day and he can't wait to see the pictures. We love you!

Recovery....

Scott is in recovery now. I don't know any details yet. The nurse couldn't tell me much. I'll talk to the doctor later. I am off to wait in the hospital room now. Be back this evening.
