Couch Potato

Geez! All Gary does is lay on the couch and watch TV! It gets annoying hour after hour watching him veg and not be a productive member of our family! Does he think that major surgery gives him the right to be exempt from all family activity?
Hey, I squeezed out 3 kids, had a bowel resection, hernia surgery (7 months PG) and had double pneumonia (PG also) and I was up doing everything within a day or two! Get going Gary!

After reading the paragraph above to Gary he simply shrugged his eyebrows as if to say - wait I definitely can't repeat what he said here!! Let's pray for his salvation for that comment!

All kidding aside and let's get serious! He is doing GREAT and it is SUPER GREAT having him back home! The kids love him being back and woke up this morning wanting to wake him just to say good morning!
In his words - I am processing nicely! I am sore but not taking any pain meds and I have even done a few loads of laundry and washed dishes! I got the kids ready for baseball, got their beds ready, yelled at them from the couch and I even took a shower and shaved away my Grizzly Adams look!!

Now is a time for healing. We will see the doctors every 3 months for the first year and every four months for the 2nd & 3rd year. Then every 6 months until the 5 year marker and then 1X a year after that point! I think we should have the UCI Urology staff over for dinner to get to know them better since we will be spending so much time with them in the years to come!

We have NEW PRAYER REQUESTS! All of your prayers have been answered so we would like to enlist all of you once again for some more! Most of you seem to have a direct line to our Creator so WE REALLY NEED the following prayer:

1. Continued healing for Gary - everything goes perfect with the new bladder
2. Quick recovery for Gary
3. A job for Gary - Please pray for God to bring Gary the perfect job opportunity - Pray for a company to come his way that desires a knowledgable, loyal, hard-working, wonderful, skilled man to be an important part of their company!
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS WHAT GOD WANTS FOR GARY and we have to patiently wait on the timing of it all!
4. Protection and peace while we wait for Gary to go back to work.

We have 100% faith in our Father that He will provide for us - healing, peace, patience, and a job. Look what He has done so far! He placed all of you in our lives and for that we are eternally grateful and you could never realize how much we cherish your support and kindness and love and awesome meals and everything else!! Thank you thank you thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

PRAYER WORKS! Please remember that!

Love,
L&G (G is back!) YEAH!!!! I just love my hubby!
