Visit to the Orthopedic Surgeon

Yes, folks, that's right!  Behind door #3 is surgery ..... we saw the doctor and Spencer is scheduled for surgery on Monday at noon.  They need to bring the clavicle bone down and re-attach the ligaments from where they "sprung" by the force of the fall.  Needless to say, I am thankful for this weekend to gear up for next week.  Spencer doesn't seem very nervous.  I'm sure the closer it gets, he will become anxious.  

To top off my afternoon, the downstairs toilet overflowed, clear water THANK GOD.  Fifteen towels and three loads of bleach later, I got it cleaned up.  Seriously, that was almost the very thing that sent me right over the edge in flames.  Overflowing toilet?  Scott wasn't home when it happened.  This is becoming a pattern, isn't it??!!  He returned and Spencer told him what happened and said, "Dad, hug her.  Mom needs a hug."  I put my hand out and said, "DO NOT hug me.  If you hug me, I will start crying and won't stop until tomorrow!!"  

One thing I noticed in Spencer was how his countenance changed Thursday evening.  The minute Scott got home, Spencer just relaxed completely.  I am so thankful for the relationship Scott has with our children.  I know as we go through things, I am thankful that they have a father and a heavenly Father that walks them through all things.  

Spencer is definitely feeling better which is good and bad.  He feels good so he gets careless and starts moving too much.  It doesn't matter how many times you tell them either.  At bedtime last night, Spencer went crying and whimpering.  He had moved to much.  Motrin and ice works well and shortly thereafter, he went to sleep.  But of course, he did try to sleep with me for another night.  We all finally got a full night's sleep uninterrupted.  I slept until 9:45am.  I was beat!!!   We will keep you posted next week on his recovery.  Praying for an uneventful week!
