Four Kids

My sweet husband, had to have surgery on his left foot to remove a huge bone spur on his heel. It wasn't something that could be put off, he seriously was starting to walk like an old man and I knew he was in a lot of pain. I dreaded how much work it would be post-op, how much more I'd have to do around the house and with the kids. I've told him that if I survive to the end of his restrictions on using his foot, I'm checking myself into the psych-ward of the hospital for a mandatory 72 hours of lock down peace and rest!

It was so cute, when Dave got back to the house after surgery, Malcolm was his shadow. Malcolm stayed by his side, I even had to let him eat dinner with
Dave, in our bed. When Malcolm's bedtime came, he didn't want to leave his dad's side, so he curled up with him on the recliner and exhausted, finally fell asleep.



Surgery went great, everything has been wonderful as far as the healing and getting out of pain.



Dave just can't really do anything other than sit or lay down - so he gets to read to the kids, wrestle on the bed with them, watch "their" shows on TV with them and have me wait on his every need. Positives are that he has temporary handicap parking permits, he gets to ride the electric carts shopping and I've had to miss the past two weeks of church to be with the sick babies he can't take care of on his own (oops! that's not a positive). I will survive this too, but will take a vacation from it all in about 6 weeks!
