Mothers Day

How was your Mothers Day?  Mine was a good one for the record books.  My youngest son gave me his appendix.  Sweet huh!  The entire event came on rather suddenly.  Bear was not feeling so well Saturday afternoon at 4:00 pm and by 8:10 pm he was sicker than any dog you might hear about.  I just knew by the looks of him that this was not a normal run of the mill illness and off we speed to the hospital.  The doctor had him diagnosed via a CT scan, called the on-call surgeon and Bear was in surgery by midnight.  Sounds rather quick but as parents waiting next to a sick son and sitting in plastic chairs the time ticked rather slowly.  Also Josh had been up since 2 am to fly the early Bethel flight for work and so by the time Bear was settled in his room post surgery and recovery 24 hours had passed for Josh.

By 1:00 o'clock Sunday afternoon the doctor released Bear from the hospital and we were home by 2:00.  We are all feeling better after a good nights rest ~ especially Bear! 

Next year a card will do just fine! 

What did the oldest son get me for Mothers Day you ask?  A very nice hand made pottery coffee cup! 

Have a good evening everyone.  Finals week this week for the boys and after this week is over my job will slow down just a bit as we enter summer.
