Update on Matt

Matt had outpatient surgery on Friday. He had his tonsils removed and sinuses repaired. It was a really long day for both of us. We arrived at the hospital at 8:45am. We registered and then they whisked him away at 9:10am. His surgery was supposed to be at 10:45, however it didn't end up starting until after noon. His surgery was about 2 hours and they we was in recovery for 2 1/2 hours. We got back home around 5:30pm. Although he is having some pain, he has been a super patient and really easy to take care of. And for all the work he had done, he looks amazing! I won't post any pictures of him because I am sure he would shoot me for doing that! Anyway, lots of people have been checking in on us. Thanks for your kind thoughts! Matt is on the mend and will be back to normal in no time!

I owe a special thanks to several people:

• to Maria and Todd and Jeff for hanging out with me at the hospital all afternoon!
• to my Mom for staying with us this weekend and helping me take care of Matt, Ella and the dogs!
• and to Patty and Doug for keeping Ben for the weekend and taking him to do lots of fun things, like going to the movies and to the zoo!
