6 Weeks Post Op

So I can't believe it but it has been 6weeks since Jacks surgery.... That time in our lives was sooo stressful I can't even put it into words, but just thinking about it now - how its over - makes me feel so relieved. It went better than I could have ever imagined. There is power in numbers, and I know there was no way our Heavenly Father could pass up all the prayers and thoughts that were sent his way on Jacks behalf. We are blessed to have family and friends who care so much about our boy. There have been times when worries arise about what we would do about Jack if something were to happen to us and there is no doubt in my mind that he would be taken in, cared for, and loved, but I think everyone would have to get past his 2 sisters first : )
The doctors say that it takes 6 - 8 weeks for his bone to fully heal, well we made it to week 6, but I have to say I will still be watching him like a hawk until week 8,9,10..... pretty much until forever I guess... But anyhow, I still can't believe it has been 6 weeks since we went in and I have to admit that I am more than happy it is over. We are slowly getting back to normal life, maybe some day we will get there, but for now I will just enjoy the ride...

#4 I love how Jack gets so much joy out of driving Elle crazy. One example of this is that he will wait until she is trying to tell me a story and right as she starts to say something he yells, so she stops and waits until he is done and then tries again, at which point Jack will scream again, this time followed by the biggest smile and giggle you have ever heard, as his sister starts to whine and scream about how I have to make Jack stop!?!? The joys of motherhood : )

  1. Yea! 6 weeks! SO happy he's been healing so quickly. Ella and Elle should talk to each other about younger siblings who do things to annoy them...I'm already sick of the fighting. At least in your house there's not so much drama and REAL fighting as mine. The bonus to having easy going Jack!
