DAVID HAD HIS SURGERY TODAY

We got to Paola Hospital at 8 a.m. and they took him in at 9:45. The Dr. came out at 11:25 and said he did fine and was in recovery. He said he had to take off a bigger bone spur than he did on David's left arm three years ago. Anyway, we got out about 12:30 and went to the pharmacy to get his pain meds. He has a big bandage on his shoulder and has to keep an ice pack on it, at least another day. He said he is looking forward to his right arm feeling as good as his left one once it heals. He will be off for 2 weeks at least. We hope he will feel like going to Decovin and Camden's birthday party on Saturday. If it gets really cold, Mom is already saying she probably won't go.

I took her to her Dr. on Monday to see about her left over cough and her right hand that aches at night. He told me to get her a brace for carpel-tunnel to wear to bed at night which is when she said it aches the most. He said her cough is all but gone.

David's Dad is still in the hospital. His hemoglobin went down so they are going to do a CT Scan and colonoscopy now. He is slightly enemic. Loree is still sore and has to stay at home and is quite worried about Paul. Mendy has been going up everyday to be with her Dad. She originally was going to be there to help Loree.

Well, I am tired. Waiting in a hospital is very tiring for some reason! Hope everyone is well and stays that way.

Oh yes! He is doing better than I am. He slept all day and night yesterday. He took a little walk today in the nice weather.
