We're Home

Brad's surgery went well. We are all home together again. The girls stayed with mom and I stayed with my mother and father-in-law (they live 5 minutes from the hospital). Brad is sore and stiff, but that is to be expected. His throat is what hurts the most. They put a tube down his throat along with going in from the front and moving the esophegus out of the way. It is very tender to swallow and such. Other than that, as long as he keeps up on the pain and muscle relaxer meds he feels ok, groggy, but ok! His pain from the pinched nerve is gone. He is very happy about that!

The girls are trying to figure out exactly what happened! Braylen is very concerned about the "big Band-aid" on daddy's neck!!! Of course, she now has many hurts and needs band-aids too! Alea just wants to pick at it. Brad cannot lift either of the girls for a month, so he gets a vacation from night time wake ups by Alea (which happens 3-4 times a week still!!). She slept all night last night--YIPPEE...

Thanks for all the prayers, visits, cards and calls. We appreciate them all so much!
