We have not been too exciting around here since the last post. Yesterday was a real day of rest for Zach because he took about 2 naps, each lasting at least 2 hours. I was glad he could finally get some sleep. Last night Mama, Daddy, and Suzanne brought us supper. We watched "How To Train Your Dragon" while Suzanne and I did our nails with the Sally Hansen press-on nails.
Today has been discouraging in some ways. We were planning on going to church at first, and after a lot of consideration, decided that it would be way too hard on Zach. Then we decided we would just go to Mama Joyce's for lunch. I washed Zach's hair in the sink and got him dressed, and by the time that was all done he was in such pain! It is so hard for me to not be able to do much for him. So we stayed home and he got to take a well deserved nap. The afternoon passed by quickly and I was able to do my elliptical for the first time in three (I KNOW!) days. I am even more ashamed to admit that it really wore me out! I just didn't think 3 days should have done that to me!
Tonight Zach's mom and dad brought us Olive Garden! Yuuuuuum! It's about our favorite food to eat and it made me so happy to see Zach eat so much. He hasn't had his "normal" appetite in the past few days.
We are winding down day 4 post surgery and as you can tell, he doesn't really feel much improved since Thursday. We thank you for all of your prayers and support. Please pray that his pain will lessen more and more. We go to the Dr. on Tuesday to get the drain out. Please pray that it would go smoothly and that it will not be too painful (as we are afraid it might be!) I know that we are going through so much less than other people are, but this is our biggest "obstacle" right now and we covet your thoughts and prayers!
Night Night!
