Out with you......

After a few months of stomach issues, we decided it was time to have the gall bladder out (for me not Steve :) I've had troubles with it since Spring and over harvest it was confirmed that the gall bladder was the problem. So I requested we wait til my hubby wasn't so busy and it worked into our schedule (selfish I know).
Today was the day. I had a work meeting in the am and then off to take out parts I don't need. Steve requested everything be taken out that I don't need, but it appears just my gall bladder was taken. I had some cosmetic requests, but it still appears only my gall bladder was taken out. hehe All in all, I'm doing well. The pain is not from by abdomen but in my back and shoulders. Everything I read said that would happen, as did my mom. So nothing unexpected. Surgery at 11a, home by 4p. Now that is what I am talking about.
So the question may come up, why did I not tell people about the surgery thing? I have many reasons. I didn't want to make a big deal for the kids. We just kinda wanted to do this and not worry them. I also must say I question why God gave us so many parts we don't need. So this surgery seemed silly to me. But I do really miss certain foods and I was sick of having pain everyday. The only way to be without pain was to not eat (which I have tried :) So that's the story. I plan on a quick recovery so I can chase kids again. Sitting here makes me feel really guilty and Steve looks really busy. He is an amazing man!!! LOVE HIM!!!


Brooke's IgG level came back over 400. GET OUT!!! Anything over 400 hundred we were going to be happy with. We are holding her IVIG unless she gets ill or her numbers go down. We don't have results yet from her immune studies. Hopefully by next week. She's not feeling 100% but she's ok. She has stopped eating orally and complains at some of her feedings that she doesn't feel well. So we wonder if she's fighting something, but the key word is, "fighting." She's fighting it and we can't ask for anything more.


Leah had her orchestra concert last night. She did amazing and looked so nice. LOVE HER!


Our friends had a baby! I didn't ask for permission to put this on the blog but I think it's ok :) Excitement was an understatement! I got to go see her 1st and HOG her to myself. I loved it! She fit so perfect in my arms. We just love all of them!!

Last, a little snow. The girls were excited to see the snow. Unfortunately Brooke only lasted 5 minutes. She said she didn't like the feeling of the snow. Ash and Macy had a great time. Tis the season for snow stuff everywhere.

Enjoy the season! I have the gifts wrapped and I love getting presents for the kids. It's so fun to see their surprise and guessing who's gifts are who's. We are so blessed and God is so good!! Don't forget whose birthday party this is!! Jesus deserves a BIG cake :)
