Surgery Summer Sucks

 
 

 
One week after graduation -  ACL surgery. 

In between surgeries she was subpoenaed in a court case.

Three weeks later -  double jaw surgery.  

Nausea is a horrible feeling. It is worse when you throw up and the mouth is banded shut.  Emergency cutting of the bands ensued. We both cried.

Rough weeks. 

The front room became another bedroom. 
Younger kids were all so kind and accepting of our no frills, "gotta be a nurse" summer.
No way I could leave her to go to girls camp when she was still sucking food out of a tube.
Randy rescued me and went in my place.

Lots of follow up appointments and rehab.

Surprise emergency room visit after she passed out and was cut by falling glass first week of college.

Next summer.....senior trip when she can fully walk and talk!

Posted doctor and hospital bills on fridge as incentive to go to medical school.
