A Port was placed in me yesterday in an outpatient procedure. It has been a difficult recovery because I wanted to be able to bounce back... that did not happen! I was only able to stay still and not get anything I wanted to done. I am really in need of learning how to take it easy and not overdue. This will be my hardest lesson to date.
I am so sore and have not been able to use my left arm for anything (& when I forget and boy do I get a painful reminder). I do know that this procedure is worth it because to get the IV in for surgery it took the nurse two tries and many prayers said by all in the room! I could not imagine trying to use these small deep veins for all the treatments and blood draws to come in the next months!!!
The girls had to go to the doctor today. All three had to get flu shots to help protect them and me. Then the twins had to have their 5 year old physical which meant 3 more shots. We did them all because I would have never gotten them back in if we delayed any. They have all recovered from the trauma which was helped by some bribes like a visit to Santa, shopping @ the mall, and dinner at the food court all with Daddy (Boy does he deserve a medal of honor for doing all these girly things!). We are so lucky to have such a great guy!
I am so blessed to be given so many wonderful people in our lives that are helping us on this journey. The girls pediatrician was stunned by my news but she had so many helpful tips and will include us in her prayers. She has been there since the day Katelynn was born and I am so thankful for all she has done to keep our girls healthy and now she is even helping me!
Thank you to all who are keeping me in their thoughts and prayers. I am feeling them at all times so please know each one is working!
