Well John and I survived each other at home this week. It is hard to keep a five year old who feels like getting up and playing down. He thinks he can do so much more than he can and well sitting around all day gives him that false sense. Even showering wears him out. He has mastered Rummy - well the Handy Manny version atleast - so far he has beat me, Grandma, Pop and Abigail. He loves playing cards and coloring. He plays on his doodle pad alot and loves watching the Scooby Doo movies as well. We started going down stairs midweek once Caleb and Abigail went off to school and that seemed to help. We do about an hour of school work a day - some at the table, some on the couch. It is hard for him still to sit in a chair upright that long. Just makes him sore I think - he would never admit that because he hates the pain meds. He has not had any at all since last Thursday. We brought them home but have never opened the bottle.
We have been blessed with a weeks worth of wonderful meals. We appreciate all of the continued prayers - they are the reason John has come through this so well. Even the surgeon was shocked he came of the venelator so fast and was ready for home on Friday. The staff even comment that he must have some special powers - he does the power of PRAYER :)
Thank you all for your support, prayers, gifts, meals and Love - they are what continue to substain us. Thank you also to everyone who has made mail time such a highlight in John's day - he loves seeing how many Get Well cards he gets each day:)
Well Goodnight for now - I will blog some funny happenings tomorrow - all the quirky little things John says that crack me up :)
