Today was a good day. Josh felt really well today. Did not need much pain med and was up and walking quite a bit. he also can get in and out of bed alone, which is impressive considering the soreness and pain in his stomach. mom did have some bleeding issues in a few incision spots but nothing too alarming.the best part of the day was having some new visitors. joe and carol came and stayed for nearly 2 hours. it was so great. carol (moms aunt) had a transplant this past august so its always good to see her doing so well now. joel cook also stopped by (cousin) and i hadn't seen him in several years, so that was great. plus we've had josh's mom and his brother johnny and his wife kaley. it is nice to have your support team! i am just hoping he didn't over-do it today. but as i sit here typing in the hospital, he is breathing nice and deeply and is sleeping soundly. 10 minutes ago i turned off my moms light and told her goodnight. i like seeing my 2 patients sleeping. it means they are comfortable and not in unbearable pain. its a good feeling.

So glad everything went well. What a huge blessing. I bet you are exhausted taking care of your mom and hubby. Tell Josh I feel for him on the itching thing. One time one of my epidurals did that and I itched from the inside out. It was the most miserable I have ever been. Well, they look great and I am glad the worst is over and they are on their way to a recovery.
I just started to bawl when I read your posts. What an amazing thing! My visiting teacher (Kaley's grandma) was telling me on Sunday what an amazing family you have and I had to agree. So glad everyone is doing so well. You will continue to be in our prayers.
We have all been waiting for an update! What a sweet post--and a sweet hubby and mom you have! I am glad everyone is doing well. Continue to keep us posted!
We are so glad everything went well. We've been anxiously checking your blog every 10 minutes! Your mom looks great already! Her face and coloring are wonderful. Josh is such a great guy for doing that, but your mom is worth it. How are YOU holding up? Hope you are getting out to eat and maybe smuggling some Chick-fil-A or Iceberg shakes into your patients? Nelsons sounds good too. Hope you are holding up well. Miss you tons! Sydney
