Sprite and Gingerale

quick update I finally got home last night. i spent something like 15 days total in the hospital with my surgery for my SMA. I have a tube in my intestines, one draining my stomach, and staples up the middle - from the surgery. Hopefully I'll toughen up and get better soon. I'm still hurting a good bit from all the incisions and my home pain med isn't working like it does through an IV at the hospital! So, there's a long needed update I guess. Not too many details though. Anyone want to drop off any pain med gifts (via IV or shot)? I'm also really weak so not much phone talking for me - you won't be able to understand me!


More later - I've had two sprites and two gingerales today....

Hate to tell you it was 19 days in the hospital. 12 since your surgery. You don't remember much of it. Good to have you home. I got tired of sitting up there.

Stephanie,

I can NOT believe what you're having to endure! But you've more than earned that t-shirt, that's for sure!
You've been in my thoughts and my prayers - you and your family. Stay strong, kiddo. I'm rooting for you all the way.

Hi Stephanie,

So glad to hear that you're home. They were asking about you in Dan's SS class this morning and our Bible Study tonight. So I'll send out your update from the blog. We're all praying for your recovery and that you'll start feeling well again soon.
I'll keep checking back to see updates as they come in and share them with our Prayer Partners.

In Jesus' love,

Diane (for our Sager Creek Family)
