Other Updates

We continue working on our house... we have the big projects generally done... someday I will have pictures. For now, I just have pictures of the headboard Jordan Lynn made. It looks really good on our bed against our purple wall! Also, we celebrated our 3 year anniversary in December (Jordan Lynn got me so beautiful roses). Thanksgiving with the Curtis family was a lot of fun, and Christmas with the Bartholomews. Then January (as you most likely know if you are reading this) involved a surgery for me (Jordan Paige) consisting of a tonsilectomy, septoplasty, and turbinate reduction. The recovery from the surgery I guess didn't go too well, because the Sunday following the surgery (which was on wed. Jan. 12) Jordan Lynn found me basically gone. Melanie rushed over and called 911. I didn't like the ambulance much because I was by that point somewhat conscious and they wouldn't let me write a note (I couldn't talk) and they just kept poking me with needles! Anyway, I spent several hours in the ER, a night in the ICU, and was in the hospital for the rest of the week (I literally didn't get released until Saturday). I had been extremely dehydrated and had a bad case of pneumonia. I am doing good now, though, and feel pretty much back to normal. I still don't like needles and blood (by the way, the poking persisted all through the week with a stab of blood thinners in the stomach every morning to wake me in addition to all of the IV's and blood tests!). The good news is that I can actually breath through my nose now, so at least the surgery worked! Thanks to all for the flowers/plants, cards, visits, calls, and prayers!
