Denver and Surgery

Somer had VUR surgery today, in Denver. Basically they reformed her urinary valves so she pees right and it does not go back into her kidneys. We drove up yesterday and stayed at the Ronald McDonald House.
My dad (Papa) came with Somer and I, and the big kids, the dog, and Matt stated home. Actually the big kids and Sasha (aka the dog) are with Grandma and Matt is working.
Surgery went good, and now we are resting and recovering. We will most likely be in the hospital until Wednesday and then go home.
So, that is our week so far. How is yours?

Fun while in Denver

Even though we were in Denver for a not fun reason last week.. we managed to have some fun.

My Man Rocks

Matt rocks because I can take Somer to Denver to see a specialist and leave the other kids home with him - knowing that he will take care of them. Thank you for making it easy to leave them with you.

I do not want to...

I am going to be totally honest for a minute.

I do not want to..
.. i do not want to make appointments and arrangements to take Somer to a specialist in Denver. I know that there is something going to with her, but honestly I just want to pretend none of it is happening. I am not worried or freaking out - just do not want to live reality right now. Ever been there - where you just want to prentend that you live in happy land were everything is easy and you never have to stress about anything; where you can fall out of a tree and magically a handsome prince catches you? -- Oddly; I think that a handsome prince is always there to catch us and more; to hold our hands every step off the way. Okay, God; I will rest you in. "Trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.... and he will make your paths straight"... okay; I trust.
