Jake arrived just before they took JT back so they got a little time together. That was a beautiful blessing! Jake then helped the hours pass quickly. We have been through a lot in our 14 years of marriage. We have learned how to carry each other, hold each other up and mostly cherish each moment and laugh as often as possible,
Instead of sitting feeling each painful minute tick by we went for a walk, played in the gift shop and had some date like conversation. OH! That’s another thing we’ve learned, anytime without kids is an opportunity for a date. We take advantage of the time, love and gifts God has blessed us with.
But enough about us, you want to hear about JT!
His surgery lasted just shy of 5 hours. The nurse texted us 1 hour in saying all was going well, then again at 4.5 hours saying it was over and they were closing him up.
Both Dr Magnabosco(ortho) and the anesthesiologist came to tell us it all went very well.
He woke for a bit, gave me a beautiful Justin smile and is now back asleep.
Justin and I will remain in the PICU tonight due to the epidural then be transferred to another floor sometime tomorrow. Jake is heading out to pick up the other goons from school and do their nightly routine.
Prayers for tonight:
Pray JT has a great rest! Pray his body takes this time to heal wonderfully.
Pray for Jake and he and the boys have homework and nightly routines to get through. Pray for my 3 littles who are going through a “I can’t sleep without mommy’s hugs and kisses and snuggles” phase. One I love, but one that makes this stay just a little harder.
Thank God for each other. Praise him for all those lifting our family up in prayer. Praise him for today going so incredibly well and for the peace Jake and I have felt all day today. Praise him for those bringing my men at home meals.
God is good in all things. Sometimes it’s hard to see or feel through the fear and pain, but if you stop and seek, you will find his goodness!
Many blessings!
I’ll check in again tomorrow
