Alan is having surgery Friday morning.

We went to the family doctor today. He wasn’t completely satisfied with how it looked so he sent Alan to a surgeon. He told us the surgeon would probably lance it again right there in the office. The surgeon took one look at it and said, “Yeap, I need to do some work on this…..but…. too much to do today.”. So, Alan is scheduled to have outpatient surgery Friday morning at 7:30.

We had to run around trying to get him thru surgery preop in record time. I had to go to ER and find a lady to register him (it was past 5:30pm) while he was at another place in the hospital having blood pressure taken and all that stuff. It was crazy. The kids were still at Bud & Jane’s, so, they were fine.

I picked up the kids, took Alan home, and took Will to basketball. We got home and I literally threw the kids in the bed. Friday morning we’ll get the kids up super early and take them over to Bud & Jane’s. They will crawl in the bed over there until time to get up for breakfast and school. I can’t thank Bud & Jane enough for taking care of all this for me. What a huge weight off my shoulders to be able to know that the kids are fine.

Alan is nervous. He hasn’t had surgery since he had his tonsils out…… in 1967. He doesn’t want to be in pain. He just wants this all over with and to never ever get this stuff again.

I missed all afternoon at work and will be out tomorrow morning. I am blessed to have a job that allows me such a flexible schedule. Of course, the work to be done is still there, but at least I can work on it during the weekend. I thought about taking the laptop to the hospital tomorrow morning, but, I doubt I could focus enough to do anything.

Thanks for your prayers,
Lysa

Doctor's appointment today

Quick update - Alan has a doctor's appointment this afternoon. We have no idea what to expect. The wound is still draining some but there's still ALOT that needs to come out. Still red, but not as bad. Still swollen, but not as bad. Pain isn't as bad either.

Still in LIMBO, We will wait and see.

I'm going with Alan to the doctor's today. Bud and Jane are picking Will and Larissa up from school. They also have their grandson Tanner. The kids are excited to spend some time with him.

Keep the prayers coming!
