I just wanted to let everyone know that Matt's surgery went well yesterday. It was a long day, but we made it through. We had to be there at 7:30 in the morning and didn't make it home until about 3:30. He is actually doing a lot better than I expected him to be. I thought he would probably be pretty immobile for the first week or so, but he has been moving around on his crutches ever since we got home. He even went up the stairs last night so he could sleep in the bed. He's been complaining with pain a little more today than yesterday, but I told him that I thought the day after surgery was always the worst.
It has been a crazy last several days. Matt, Gracie and I all had a stomach virus over the weekend. I kept Gracie home from school on Monday, but took Katherine to daycare. The surgery was yesterday. About 4:00 yesterday afternoon, daycare called and said Katherine had a fever, so I had to go pick her up. So I have Katherine home today and Gracie at school. Nothing ever seems to work out exactly how we plan it, but I guess we do the best we can. My parents are coming in tonight, so I am thankful that they will be here the rest of the week and weekend to help out with the girls. Neither of the girls even care about me or Matt when Granny & PawPaw are around, so it will be a good distraction for them.
Keep us in your prayers and I will try to keep the blog updated!
