Wow! Our family keeps several surgeons busy. This week, on Thursday, McKay had a spinal fusion. He had one last July, also, but he grew so much that he had to have another one. This is apparently quite unusual. We like to keep the doctors on their toes. He's recovering okay... there's a lot of pain, and he might be getting pneumonia, but overall things are fine. He's been sleeping a lot.
I was with him for a few nights and will go back tomorrow. Todd is with him now. It is very hard to have one in the hospital and feel like I need to be there but then I miss my kids at home so much! Hopefully, his stay won't be too long. The surgeon said 5-7 days. We try to handle these times gracefully and with faith.
Let's see if there's anything else to report. Abby went to her first school dance on Friday night. She said it was "lame." But her friend said that usually they are more fun. And her school had a students v. faculty Quidditch match on Friday, which was very fun. Abby and Alex and Todd went skiing on Saturday and had a good time, but it was very cold on the mountain, which was kind of miserable.
This week Abby's school had a series of fundraisers for Make-a-Wish, which was a happy coincidence for us since Alex declared his wish last week. So Abby had pancakes one morning and we all went to Chik-Fil-A for dinner one night. It's neat to see a school do so much service. They are trying to earn money to build a kid a playhouse. Pretty cool.
Well, I'm a bit tired and it's time for our Sunday evening movie party, when we watch something church related together.
