happy birthday jason
it's not the first time he has spent his birthday laid up from a surgery.
he had his acl replaced a couple of days before his 25th birthday,
little did we know that there would be many more surgeries to come in a short time.
i had forgotten about them.

wind, wind go away
literally in sweats all day, every day,
and it's been windy.
i thought our house was going to blow away.
back surgery is a slow recovery & i'm trying to remind him of that.

it's a miracle!
this is the hardware they removed from his body.
he still has 5 of the green ones in him that they didn't want to remove because the bone had grown around them.
my cousins' wife's sister lives in logan in this beautiful home!
she graciously let me come and go to eat, sleep, & shower at her home as i needed.
i'm so grateful & i LOVE her kitchen.
WARNING- explicit picture below.
remember this?
this picture was from Jason's back fusion in 2008.
i jinxed myself when i said...
"OUCH! and I've got to change his bandage. Some of this stuff I'm not sure I signed up for but I'd do it again if I had to."
here i go again!!
it's easier this time around though...
been there, done that, & it is so much better than expected.
family, friends and faith are such a blessing in our lives.
thank you, thank you!
we are on our way home tomorrow.

back surgery
We are in Logan, Utah right now. 2 hours away from home. Jason is having another back surgery tomorrow morning. We found out in August that his fusion in 2008 didn't work so they are redoing it. Replacing old hardware, removing cages, removing a growth on his spinal canal, replacing bone (that had disinegrated), going in through the back, the front, and back again. Six hours in surgery, a week long hospital stay. Scared, nervous?? Yes, very much so!
Thanks to my family and friends who are helping at this time of need. Frankie is in Kaysville with my sweet Aunt Karma (my Mom's sister). Baylee, Griffin, Avaree & Weston are at home with my cousin, Lana, who just had her 7th baby a month ago!
We are so blessed. Please keep us in your prayers. I will give an update sooner than later. I'm praying that everything will go well. We need it too. We have had some rough years dealing with chronic pain.
Here goes...
