Odie Is One Week Post Surgery

 Hey Friends,

One week ago today,  I had surgery. It seems like it was only yesterday, yet it feels like a long time ago. 

As I lay here typing this post on Monday night, it is hard to believe that one week ago, I was prepping for surgery. Now, I am well on my way to recovery. Thank the Lord for standing by me! 

I had my one-week post-op visit at the doctor's office yesterday. We saw one of the Nurse Practitioners in the office. She removed the bandage that had been covering my incision. She told me everything is healing nicely. I have to continue taking it easy for a while. 

I have another follow-up at the end of December with the other surgeon who was involved in my surgery. We did not discuss any of the details of my surgery with the NP yesterday. From what we have read in the MyChart app, everything seems OK.

Thank you again for all of your continued prayers and concern! It means more to me than I can even express! The Lord has helped me so much! I am so grateful! We still have several more weeks before I'm completely recovered, but I am Glad to be this far along in my recovery journey!

Mom has been a fantastic nurse! She is by my side anytime I call her! I am thankful for the other family and friends who have helped us.  The food, gifts, visits, and love are so appreciated!

My cousin Lisa came to sit with me for a little while on Sunday. My mom had to go to church for some Christmas practice. On Sunday afternoon, my cousins Courtney and Kayla surprised me by visiting. Apparently, they had planned with Mom to visit me! It was great to spend a couple of hours with them!

In closing, please continue praying for our baby, Beckham! He is still in Cincinnati Children's. They are doing more testing on him today, trying to figure out what triggers his issues!

We hate to see our precious baby suffer! He is still a cutie! My Uncle Tommy FaceTimed me the other day so I could see Beckham. He smiled at me a few times, and it made my heart melt.

See you tomorrow!

Odie
