Surgeries

Success! Both Surgeries this week have gone really well, Dad had his on Monday and Kelli's on Wednesday. My Dad had his second knee replacement this year, he is painfully recovering. It's hard to see him in pain, he has a very high pain tolerance and so when he shows pain, you know it really hurts him. Yet, he does keep his sense of humor and was pulling pranks on me when I went to see him at the hospital.

Kelli had a cerebral decompression surgery, and basically it means that part of her brain was bigger than normal and putting pressure on her spinal cords causing really bad headache's . So they cut into her head and cut some of her scull out to give her some space. They had to shave off about 3 inches of hair , the cut is a little more than 4 inches long and has 18 staples. We're glad they figured out what was wrong so she doesn't have to be in so much pain! My mom and I went into surgery with her on Wednesday and tried to stay with her as much as we could. It took a little while for the anaesthetic to wear off, she was very patient in telling us what she needed especially when she was feeling so rotten. She was able to come home on Saturday.

So on top of my mom's broken foot still trying to heal from her fall at Thanksgiving she is now going to be taking care of both Kelli & my Dad...
