Post-Op Day 3

I don't really know who's still stopping by here to check on August but if you are, he's doing really well. He had a slight fever yesterday but it wasn't anything a little Tylenol couldn't take care of. He tires quickly which is to be expected. So he spends a lot of time on the couch or in bed. Today, after church, we all got cozy by the fire and played card games for the rest of the afternoon - with an occasional catnap thrown in here and there. We're all enjoying being together and having him home. It's a good thing because he'll be home every day for the next 2 weeks.

It will be interesting navigating homeschooling and caring for him at the same time. I read a good quote about raising and teaching children recently:

"Formation is more important than information." --Laura Berquist

That probably encapsulates what the next couple of weeks will be like for us. I imagine there are some really good life lessons that no textbook could provide in this experience for all of us.

Thanks for checking in. August tells me he may post something one day soon..........stay tuned.

Hi, Martha and August! We are keeping you in prayer and are thrilled things are going so well thus far. We'll keep you in our prayer and thoughts and heart while the recovery progresses. That can be a very challenging part of the process. May the Lord grant you (quick) and lasting healing.

Kurt and Debbie

Martha,
I love the picture of August sitting up and smiling. Thanks be to God! So happy that he's home with you and the girls. What a sweet opportunity to have him to yourselves for two whole weeks. Your blog is delightful. Hugs to you each.
