hernia, be gone!

Have I told you Paul's extreme weakness for hospital's, needles, Dr's, blood, you get the idea? He has had this hernia since before Van was born. Yesterday we weren't even sure Paul would go through with it, and then it was decided...Paul would finally get it taken care of. He was an extremely good sport, if you couldn't tell from the pictures. =)
Like this on the ceiling is really suppose to help someone feel like they are on the beach or something?Although this is an extremely routine surgery, I was just maybe a little bit concerned when they told me 1 hour, and I found myself still sitting in the waiting room with Van 3 hours later. All of the horrible things came flooding in to my mind. I watched other family members that were waiting for their loved ones come after me, and leave before me. I was very scared. Part of it was my lack of sleep I am sure, but most of it was thinking of something happening to my best friend. I don't think that I have ever been so excited to see a complete stranger in my whole life. Our little Van jumped up and down when they said family of Paul Sell. She cried when we left Paul, and she cried with excitement when we got to see Daddy again.

Little trials like this make you appreciate the things in life more.

I am glad that everything went well. I don't even know what a hernia is. Get feeling better soon! you should have called me, Van could have come and played at my house.

Waiting is NOT fun. Everything does run through your mind. Isn't it just funny how a complete stranger can ease your mind. I'm glade things went well. I hope recovery is quick and easy.=)
