First of all, thank you to everyone who has been praying for my Dad. Last Wednesday he went in for a scheduled heart cath and we learned he needed triple bypass surgery. They scheduled the surgery for this past Monday and kept him in the hospital to monitor his medications. He was very strong leading into the surgery but Monday morning, I could tell reality was setting in and he let his softer side show-which made me a puddle of goo. The doctors said to expect a lot of pain and grogginess the first couple days out of surgery-I think they sugar coated that slightly. It's been tough to see him the past few days in so much pain and discomfort. As of tonight they still have the drainage tube in from his chest and lungs and they're hoping that can come out tomorrow assuming the drainage stops. In addition to the pain, he hasn't been able to sleep and still doesn't have an appetite. He ate more tonight than I've seen him eat since Tuesday morning so that's a good sign. I just hate seeing my Dad like this. He's supposed to be the strong one! If you think of it, please continue to pray for him. We hope he will be released this Saturday.
And if that isn't enough 'grey' news, I haven't seen the sun since last Wednesday. It's cold and rainy and while I normally enjoy this weather, I miss the sun.
In brighter news, James' brother Jon and lil' munchkin Bella are visiting this weekend. It will be great to see them and spend time with family. I think there is pumpkin carving in the plans which makes me extremely excited. Pictures WILL be posted!
**I just realized I forgot to mention what prompted this post. I did some grocery shopping tonight on my way home from the hospital and I left the ground beef at the checkout. Completely ruined my dinner plans! I've NEVER done that. Ugh.
