26/52 - the patient

26/52 - the patient

The past 2 days have been long for all of us but Will did outstandingly well on surgery day and post-op.
We couldn't be more proud of our brave boy.
I cannot say enough about the people at the American Family Children's Hospital in Madison.
From his caring and gifted surgeon, his ENT doctor and dentist, and the nursing care he received.
As a former RN, I can say Will received medical care at it's very best.
We're happy this is behind us and hope Will's recovery and healing continue to go well.
It's going to be hard to keep this active boy from doing cartwheels but we're going to try
to get him to rest today. :)

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers for Will yesterday, the 3 of us felt them.
And thank you to our friend Carla who took care of Grace and our dog Molly.

We'll be laying low on this long 4th of July weekend.
Have a fun and safe one!

What a little trooper you have Gail. So glad to hear your experience at the hospital was all that you hoped for and more.

Hope your little man listens to his mommy and relaxes today. I'm sure he'll be back to the old Will before you know it. ;-)

What a sweet boy~ hurts my heart to see him hurting but oh so thankful he has been in such great hands!!! I know how much the prayers mean. I have been working on SJ's China book and her surgery week. Whew~ hard to go back and relive but so necessary to remember how far we have come! Will looks amazing and praying you can keep him quiet! It's hard to keep EK down too. :) Bless you over the weekend!!!
