Welcome to Elijahland

For those of you wondering, my surgery was very uneventful and went very well this afternoon. It took even less time than expected because the patient before me had cancelled. The anesthesia didn’t affect me too much other than causing me to be tired (which is a common thing these days anyway!). The lesion didn’t look suspicious upon removal, so there shouldn’t be anything to worry about. It feels good to have the whole thing over and is one less thing on our minds. I feel myself breathing a sigh of relief as our appointments for Elijah (and me) have now come to a close.

Elijah was a very good boy for his grandparents in our absence, which is such a relief. I had been so worried beforehand that he would refuse his bottle or cry the whole time we were gone, but he had a lot of fun with his grandparents. Of course he did, why did I worry? I suppose because that’s what moms do. He really is such a good baby. This was the longest I’ve been away from him since he was born and we both did just fine (I’m the one with separation anxiety, remember?:)).

I’m off to bed in a few minutes. I’m looking forward to getting some extra rest as Andy is going to give Elijah a bottle tonight if he wakes up hungry to allow me to have some extra rest and recovery time. Goodnight and thanks so much once again for all of the prayers you’ve all sent up for our family. Sometimes I feel so overjoyed with all the love I feel is surrounding us. Thanks!
