I am SO thankful!!

Jason had his gallbladder removed last Friday!! He had been having symptoms of a problem with it for a while but they got a lot worse last week!! After a visit to our family doctor, a gallbladder ultrasound, hida scan, and a visit to the surgeons office--it was removed Friday afternoon!!

As rotten as the long Labor Day weekend was, I am so thankful for so many things:
**I am so thankful that it was able to be done laparoscopically, and he was able to go home late Friday evening!!
**I am so thankful for my Mom and his Dad and all the help that they give us with the girls!!
**I am so thankful that Elisabeth doesn't scream when she is with my mom, like she does with everyone else besides Jason or myself!!
**I am so thankful that the girls handled it so well, very understanding that Daddy couldn't pick them up all week!
**I am so thankful for our friends that helped us by providing meals this week!!
**I am so thankful that the high (102) fever only lasted a few hours, even though it meant a night of antibiotics and fluids in the hospital!
**I am so thankful for our sweet friend Lori (and Drew-dawg too!!) who stayed with the girls until we came home from the hospital on Monday!!
**I am SO THANKFUL that we didn't catch any extra germs while we were at the hospital (those of you that know me well know that I am TOTALLY a germaphobic person--funny being a nurse, I know)!!

Last but not least, I am so thankful that Jason continues to feel better everyday!! Those of you that knew what was going on this week and prayed for him--I am so thankful for you and your prayers!!
