It's routine you tell yourself....it's ok.
Of course it is, nothing was telling me to be nervous about the quaduple bypass scheduled for Dad this past Tuesday.
Well, nothing till Amantha called, explaining the she was dropping EVERYTHING and going to go see dad before the surgery. She is the nurse of the family! When the medical professional gets nervous, the sister follows suit (me that is). I took all my stress & nervousness out on the house. We organized the spices, cleaned the shelving wall, pulled up flooring, vacuumed.....anyway, you get the hint, frustrated holding down the fort while you know your dad is medically bypassed, chest & leg cut open, and knowing that at SOME point they WILL try to get the heart to start pumping as it was BEFORE they stitched new veins on there! SCARY!
Either way the surgery WAS procedure, all went well. Dad is working on walking, healing, & coming home a healthier Dad than he has been in years:)
Now for the suprises!
I recieved a phone call yesterday from mom's phone....Hi my mommy:)
No, this is Brooke, but I AM calling you from mom's phone:)
Ok, you have 6 siblings how did you get here with out ANY of us knowing about it? AMANTHA & HILLARY, they are the conspiring culprits!
We love them for it....Brooke bringing the family here unexpededly after the cancelled trip in March was the BIGGEST HAPPY BOOSTER we ALL needed!
Thank you Brooke!
Thank you for loving us!
We can't wait to see Emma & Andrew again! (it's been a year and Gma Tayrien has NEVER met Andrew:)
As for the conspiring siblings....you two are good....I would have told the world! This was TOO BIG! Made my mommy's week and took so much stress off her shoulders I can only imagine!
Brooke will be here with the family for the next two weeks & we can't WAIT to be together as a family!
Finally Family Photos:)
