In case you aren’t Facebook friends with me, the latest update on Patrick’s surgery is that he is through it and in the middle of the most difficult part of recovery. The surgery ended up taking almost 8 hours and he has a raging headache as a result of being facedown for that long. Plus the pain from the actual surgical procedure, plus whatever other pain and discomfort he’s experiencing as a result of being required to lie flat on his back for a week. Of course this information is all 3rd hand from one sister to another sister to me so it’s possible that Carrie is reading this thinking, “Yeah, that got lost in translation.” The details may not be exact, but I’m positive that he still needs much prayer. These first 4 days are supposed to be the worst of it and I’m praying he sleeps through most of it and doesn’t remember the rest of it.
Today is Friday (our Sunday) and I had to snap this picture of Camille on her way into church. Mostly because her new sweater looks awesome on her and I’m kind of proud of the fact that I made it.
I’m also really excited that this “big girl” is going to Friday School class all by herself. It only took 7 months, but I finally got to go to a grownup church service today. Miracles do happen.
