You can't come bursting into this unit!

Two weeks ago dad had surgery on his neck.  He doesn't have any discs in his vertebrae, which can be dangerous and painful, so they went in there to put some separators in.  Us girls went and kept mom company in the waiting room at the hospital.  The surgery went well and dad was a little out of it, but he felt good enough to make lots of While You Were Sleeping jokes.  My favorite one was when we came back to his room and he said, "You can't come bursting into this unit!"   He stayed in the hospital overnight and then he was ready to come home.  He has to wear this neck brace for three months.

Matt flew in the day of the surgery and stayed at the hospital over night with dad.  He took good care of dad and helped him get all settled in at home.  I loved having some time to visit with Matt. Matt stayed until Thursday afternoon.  

On Friday I went and stayed with dad so mom could go to Idaho for the weekend to see Rosalind be blessed.  Kyle drove mom and Lindy to Idaho and Gary and Julie and the kids flew in.  I wish I could have been there, I can tell from the pictures that Rosalind has already changed so much.

I would have loved to see Gary meet his granddaughter. Gary and Caleb were born to be family men, so I think they are both in heaven right now.

Mom had a great time and said Caleb gave Rosalind a beautiful blessing.  I'm so happy to hear that Johanna is doing better and healing from her difficult delivery. 

 I had fun hanging out with dad for the weekend.  It was fun to visit with him and watch movies together.  I was nervous about getting his neck brace on, but I was able to do it, so I was grateful for that. 

Keith took care of things at home that weekend.  Friday night Caitlyn and Hallee went to Amarie's dance recital so Keith took Wyatt to In and Out for a boys night.  I think Wyatt was pretty happy about that.

On Saturday Wyatt had a battle.  Keith texted me updates, I will post about that next. 

Those battles can be really long, so I asked Tiff if Hallee could come over there.  Hallee was thrilled to spend the day with Tessa.

They went to a Swig opening and Hallee loved that!

Hallee said it was the best day ever.  Any time she spends the day with Tessa she tells me it was the best day ever.  Caitlyn and Jonah worked and hung out with friends all weekend.
