Surgery

On Wednesday morning, bright and early, Omi (Clint's mom) had surgery. She has been afflicted with diverticulitis. She has had two bouts of it since January; with each a batch of antibiotics and a liquid diet. With two attacks coming so close together, her doctor thought it would be better to have the part of her colon afflicted removed. So, in she went Wednesday morning. The surgery took longer than expected due to her small frame, that's what her doctor said, but everything was successful. She had about 12" of her colon removed. We asked her if she was going to do what Joseph did when he had his tonsils removed -- save them in a jar! That was not her plan, thank goodness. She had a few painful days in the hospital but is feeling much better now, and should be returning home tomorrow (Monday).

Saturday night, we entertained Opasan for dinner. It was wonderful having him over. The kids took particular care in making sure he felt at home.

During Omi's stay in the hospital, she had friends and family visit but we want to especially thank the Cowboy for looking after her!!!! We love you Omi and are glad will be coming home.
