Day After Surgery

It's a good thing I didn't plan on anything today as her Highness wanted me right by her on the couch. I had purchased a couple benches to go around the fire pit a month ago, and one worked really well next to the couch so things would be in her reach. (I figured that out in the afternoon!) She spent the day with her iPads, cards, beads and magazines. Trips to the bathroom also included walking around a bit. Did she take a nap? Of course not! Aunt Lois stopped by and brought her a McDonald's pop and she was very excited about that.

Jon went out this morning and brought back multi-colored flowers and a couple balloons. I think they cheered her up a bit, but not as much as the pop from Aunt Lois!

This evening was rougher than today, but that's normal. Night time is never good when you're sick. One of her incisions is oozing, so we have been putting triple antibiotic cream and a bandage on it. One incision is red. Please pray that nothing gets infected. That would not be good.

Your prayers, and the prayers of family and friends, have sustained us through her surgery. Taking care of Jessie today brought back too many memories of caring for both my mom, Bill, and even Jon when he had his surgeries. Care giving is a stressful job, no matter who it is for.

Thank you so much for your prayers and friendship!
