In good hands!

Yesterday I had surgery. It went better than I could have imagined. Going into the surgery I didn't know if I would be waking up in a hospital bed... or getting to go home. Luckily I was able to go home. For the past several years I have gotten huge cysts on my ovaries. Last year they took out my left ovary. Over this past year I have gotten several cysts on my right ovary and this last one was pretty big. My doctor decided the best solution was to take the ovary out. I was so nervous going into this surgery. More nervous than ever. I think mostly because we are in a new place and my momma wasn't here to take care of me! But let me tell you... This area, my ward family and my neighborhood family... are all amazing people. We had a friend from the ward here at 5:30 am. She got the girls up and Hailey off to school. We then had a girl from our Sunday School class come over to play with Olivia. She is such a doll and was so sweet with Olivia in fact... she put every babysitter we have ever had to shame! They did all kinds of art projects and played their little hearts out. The girls were suppose to go to another families house later that day, but since we got home we didn't need them to go over there. The girls were so upset they didn't get to go play, so we called them and the girls went to play for a little while anyways! And they even came home with cookies for us. We had dinner brought in by my one of my fabulous visiting teachers last night and the other one is bringing it in tonight. And our sweet Relief Society President is bringing dinner on Sunday.

Kenney has been nothing short of completely amazing. He has brought me meals in bed, kept the house in perfect order, he did all the ironing and even bought me flowers! I am so thankful for him and for the good man he is!

The girls have been wonderful. Every time I woke up yesterday there was some sort of surprise waiting by me bed. One time it was slippers for my feet, another time I had a bag of cookies by my face. Every time I was throwing up, they were right there rubbing my back and getting me washcloths. Olivia checks in about every 10 minutes. Sometimes it's to ask me if I feel okay and others it's just to give me a kiss. I have two little angels and I am so thankful for them.

My wonderful neighbor made the best bread and brought a loaf of it over. Whole wheat cinnamon raisin bread. It is delicious. And my dear friend brought over cinnamon rolls that could put Cinnabon out of business!

We have had so many phone calls checking in on us. Friends and family just checking in to make sure everything went okay.

I am so thankful for modern medicine. For good doctors and surgeons. I am thankful for technology and everything that comes along with it!

And while my mom wasn't able to be here... I have felt her love! She calls to check in and I know she has been praying for me. Her, my dad and sister sent the most beautiful flowers. I have felt the prayers in my behalf from everyone. Thank you.

So, here's to angels who are placed in our path to watch over us and to protect us. Here's to a great support system that I can always count on! Here's to being in good hands. And here's to going through menopause at age 30! Hey.. at least the hot flashes will be here during the winter months!!
