It has been an exhausting, but fun, past few days. Amanda and I were able to find and purchase all the furniture, accessories, rugs, lamps, and even had time for some clothes shopping. OH, and on our last day together, she had the wonderful idea of treating ourselves to a pedicure.
For Henry's recliner, we had to drag him along to several stores before finally settling on a gorgeous Lazy Boy leather recliner. Everything has been scheduled for delivery today, so I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of our new furniture. Very exciting!
In the midst of all the shopping, we have had family visiting. My sister, her husband and their daughter arrived three days ago and my Dad and Mom surprised us with a visit as well. It's been crazy around here.
Back in Anchorage, my son Brian, was hospitalized 12 days ago and had surgery a few days ago. He has been very sick for several months, and had been incorrectly diagnosed with an enlarged prostate. What he really has is still unclear, but the 5 hour surgery resulted in the removal of part of his intestine, part of his colon and his appendix. He had a perforation in his colon and abcess, so the doctors have hopefully removed all of the inflammation. Brian is still in the hospital and has a long recovery facing him. When he is able to go home, he's facing at least 3 months of a slow healing process. If all goes well, he will then return to the operating room for the surgeon to reconnect his bowel. It's heartbreaking to watch your child be so ill, and he needs lots of prayers.
That's all for now. I've got lots to do today.
