Thank You


Thank you to all of you who prayed for me during my sudden bout with a ruptured appendix: I am very grateful. I know the prayers helped. Having been relatively healthy my entire life long, this is the first time I was admitted to the hospital since I was born. And although the doctors and nurses were very good to me and did their best to make me comfortable, I couldn't help feeling as though I were shut up in a gloomy tower, unable to escape due to "bad numbers" (ie: heart rate, temperature, and so on). But on Monday morning, just as I despaired of ever leaving, my numbers took a turn for the better, and I was set free, and my prince came to take me home. :) I have been so happy to be reunited with a tired husband and children that I have just spent the past few days watching my children squabble and thinking, "I am just so happy to see them!" It is probably a consequence of my condition and the pain medication that I haven't felt like doing much more. But I hope to get back to posting soon. In the meantime, I continue to embrace my weakness.

I hope you enjoy this picture from my "Snow White Friend's" house. And again, thank you for your prayers.

Comments

I haven't made it over to this beautiful spot on the internet in quite a while, so when I saw a comment on another blog about you being in the hospital I rushed right over to see what was going on. I am so sorry to hear about your hospitalization, and can SO relate to what you've been experiencing! I ended up with a seriously ruptured appendix just a few days after my youngest was born in fall of '06, and wasn't able to come home until 5 days later. I bet you missed your little Polly desperately too! Anyway, I'm glad to hear that you're home and doing well. Just keep in mind that total recovery can take up to a YEAR. In fact, I STILL experience some painful twinges at my incision site. Ugh!
