Thank you all

Teri went through surgery just fine. She had to stay in the hospital an extra day because she started throwing up and the doc was concerned she may rupture the incision. She had surgery last Wednesday and came home this past Saturday. I stayed with her Sunday until this afternoon, when I had to come back to work. She is very weak but doing well. Had the staples out Monday and the incision looked good. She did have an IV infiltrate into her arm and an infection of the tissue of her right arm set in. She has had more pain from that than her incision but is on an antibiotic and will be ok. She will be out for about 6 weeks but each day is doing better.

We thank you all for you prayers. She decided to go ahead and have the surgery so she would be well when we go to China to get Maddie. She should be ready to romp with her little one by then (still up in the air as to when that will be).

I didn't get a chance to let you know before now how things went because, I spent all day and half the night at the hospital last Wed, had an all day class last Thursday, kept Haley and Hannah last Friday (and when I took them home and went back to the house to make Haley's birthday cake, I had just put the cake in the oven when a horrible thunderstorm came through and knocked out my power). Saturday was Haley's party and there you have it. I know, so what's my excuse for not blogging? I'm trying guys, I really am.

I am at work now and need to post this and get off line before I get caught by the powers that be. Thanks again for your thoughts and prayers.
