Ack, I can’t tell you how good it feels.  After 19 LONG days of questions and pain, uncertainty and missing my best friend, BRAD IS HOME!  He still has quite a long recovery ahead but simply not being in the hospital is a huge step in the right direction.

Brad walked in the door yesterday afternoon to a son who hugged him for 2 minutes strait, to a wife that missed him so bad she didn’t know how to react until later.  Our family is back together and it just feels right.

He has turned the corner!  Yay!  Tubes are coming out, he is up walking, talking and generally feeling so much better.  Thank you SO much for all of the lovely thoughts and offers for help during this time.  We still have a long road of recovery ahead of us but I am thinking the worst part is over.

I can’t wait for life to get back to “normal”.

Cheers!

Some of you know that my husband has been sick for a long time.  He had a major surgery on June 2nd.  He is still in the hospital and we just found out that he needs another surgery tonight.  I apologize profusely for those of you who are missing items.  Shayla, your rep cards are on the way soon.  I need to get to a post office and hopefully that will happen this weekend.

For those waiting on Albums they are likely going to be a few more weeks.  I will be giving these to you for FREE due to the massive delay.  I hope you take this gesture as a sincere apology for this delay but I cannot get them finished and they are already overdue.  Don’t worry, they are going to be AMAZING! 

All of your prayers and thoughts are so appreciated during this time.  My husband is an amazing person, truly inspiring and a wonderful, loving father.  I have high-hopes that this surgery today will be the beginning of something wonderful.

Here is a picture of Jeffrey and daddy taken on Monday or Tuesday (can’t remember) with my camera phone (hence the abhorable quality).  Jeffrey is usually go go go but I think he understood just how fragile his daddy is.  He sat on his hospital bed for about 30 minutes telling him stories (some words we understood) and watching the first playoff game.  They really are two peas in a pod those boys.  I love them to death and cannot wait to get Brad home so they can be again tied at the hip.

Best regards and warm wishes to you and your loved ones.
