Jason was released from the hospital on Tuesday, and I have been busy ever since!
After the angiogram on Monday, the doctor told us that the surgery went so well, that they couldn't even see where the aneurysm was! The doctor wanted him to stay one more day to ensure that everything was going well-much to Jason's disappointment. He really was looking forward to coming home on Monday.
Tuesday morning he was up, showered, dressed, and telling the nurse he was leaving when I got to the hospital. We waited for a couple of hours before the doctors assistant came in to take the staples out of his head. WOW! That was not a fun time for me to sit & "listen" to those things coming out of his head. I actually had to sit down on the bed because I felt like I was going to pass out! He says that it didn't really hurt...but I don't believe him. He was just happy to get his discharge papers, and get out of the hospital!
It's been crazy at our house ever since, with having to get him his medication at certain times throughout the day and night, making sure he is not in pain, (or doing things he shouldn't be doing) plus trying to balance the boys...I don't think I've slept more than 3 hours at a time. I have had a lot of help from family and friends-and I really appreciate that.
We wanted to thank everyone who has kept us in your thoughts and prayers, and also to our ward for all the meals, and babysitting that has been provided. We also wanted to thank the South Salt Lake Police Department, and Fire Department for all that you have and are doing for our family. It is humbling to both of us!
