For those of you who have either had surgery or have watched a child go through it, the experience gives you cause to pause. Pause and think about whether or not this is the best thing.
After all, you or your child are being placed into the hands of people you either do not know or know only a little. And those people have control of your life for that time. If they fail, your life may be harmed or even ended. If they succeed, your life will improve (after recovery of course).
Yesterday in church, I was moved during the service. I couldn't tell whether I was moved because Vicki was coming up on surgery or if I was moved by parts of the service. I just realized that no matter how many times you go through surgery, you can't take it lightly. So we prepare, plan, and pray and then trust that everything will work out. And even though things do work out most of the time, you simply can not take these procedures for granted.
So thank you for your support and prayers. Here's a recap of Vicki's day.
Vicki had her baclofen pump replaced today. Every few years, this really cool device wears out. So today was the day to get a new one.
Her biggest worry was "what is my room number." She did very well during pre-op. She was calm and only got agitated about 1/2 hour before the procedure.
I was able to walk with her into the O.R. and watch her go to sleep. She remained calm the entire time.
As I write (from her room) she is awake and worrying about tomorrow. I guess you'd say she's back to normal.
Hajik has been a faithful friend waiting for his girl when she went to surgery and now sleeping at the foot of her bed waiting for her to beckon him to "visit" on the bed.
Thank you for your prayers and your support.
