Hello - I am finally finding some time to sit down and put to words the surgery and so far Mollie's recovery. It is Saturday and Wednesday was one week ago that Mollie was implanted.
I am going to add some pictures along the way so that the story will come together. It will take some time.
My Dad, aka "Grampy", decided to fly in as a last minute surprise this week. I think he just knew I needed his comfort. So he came in on Tuesday and we are glad to have him until Monday. Karen we miss you and sorry you were not able to make the trip with him.
This week has just been full of laughter and comfort food from neighborhood friends, church friends and my Dad's family recipes. (I think I am starting to learn his tricks of the trade). This is not easy as my Dad cooks like Rachel Ray, he has a dash of this, a dash of that, no measuring spoon just by looks and taste. That is a hard way to learn to follow a chef. The kids have been completely spoiled. First starting with "dunkies" for those of you who have not experienced Dunkin Donuts. Almost a daily routine of going to get "dunkies" and coffee is fun for them. Against Mommy's wishes and her new van, I have found sugar and powder donut crumb evidence all over the car. Grampy has now managed to order "no powder" munchkins in order to justify the eating in the car. Madie has enjoyed her riding to school in the morning and her special date with Grampy which included lunch, bowling and of course shopping for toys.
Having his companionship this week has been priceless.
