Thankful to God for sustaining us and blessing us through so many different people.
We are thankful for Dr Mayo, for his amazing skill as a surgeon and his top-notch care. Also for his cheerful PA Sarah, who checked on us frequently, and who had to field a 2 am call during the ileus adventure.
We are thankful for drugs, technology, and anesthesiologists (particularly Drs. Robinson and Elder). Epidurals are amazing!
We are thankful to all the family and friends who helped with the kids so Krista could stay with me: Krista's parents, aunt Kay, and sister Kari, and our friends the Deffinbaughs, and for others who offered to help. Also my good friend Scott Matheny stayed with me a night and continues to give a lot of good advice.
We are thankful for all of you who visited, called, commented, emailed, or sent cards. Thank you for sharing our joys and burdens!
We keep praying for you all! We enjoyed reading your posts especially the pictures of your battle wounds. The kids want a new bed and thought the toilet seat was funny! Please tell the children we are proud of them for helping their Dad with his leg! Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThe other day we found a neat drum duet we thought Micah would like on UTube.

Or you could do a search of Drum Duet - Phil Collins & Chester Thompson if that link doesn't work.
Well, we will praise God today for your successful surgery, being home and the many blessings at prayer today! Join us in spirit at 2:30PM if it works out!
Blessings,
The Crichtons
