recovery up date...

It was one week ago today that I last posted-- during a long day spent in the hospital with dad. Forgive me for not posting a proper update sooner, it has been a bit of a long week as well. (The beginnings of recovery are perhaps the least fun of all...) But he made it through surgery well, (as well as one could hope at least), and spent two nights at the hospital in a pleasant enough room up on the fourth floor that looked out on the beautiful Chicago skyline. He is home now... and again, doing as well as he can in his situation. I'll spare him and not post any photos (though I do have some GREAT ones...) of this particular phase.

Thanks ever so much for your thoughts, well wishes, good energy and prayers through all this!

We have been reading Harry Potter out loud- a great diversion and very helpful to the recovery process... :)

More good wishes coming your way! I hope your dad has a speedy recovery . . . and the Harry Potter will definitely help. Greg and I just finished reading book 7 aloud! SO GOOD! :)
