Happily at home

I am home and feeling exhausted but so relieved. They got in there and found out that it was a big blood clot. So it has been removed, and I am all cleaned out and a new IUD was placed in. I had a fever and aches right before surgery but they knew it was due to the other illness that is still being figured out so that didn't stop anything.

I didn't get to ask her anything about the blood clot because she was gone when I woke up, but I need to go back in for follow-up and will ask her all about it then. I am just glad it is out of me and didn't go un-noticed. That is a relief.

Now I am home and have so many dear friends taking care of us so well that I am filled with gratitude and also a little worried about how long it will take me to pay everyone back for their generosity and kindness! :) Love you guys for all the support, well wishes, food, playdates, and love.

Thanks to my in-laws too for keeping track of the crazy boys all day while we were out! They are always in such good hands with you two. We are lucky.

I am getting light headed sitting up to type this so I better go lay back down, but I just wanted to check in for anyone who was worried.

I feel relieved and once I am healed from this "adventure" I look forward to solving the other mystery and being back to normal ASAP!

Love you and thanks again for making me feel so supported and cared for.

Heavenly Father has a plan for all of us and that includes the angels he places in our lives who are our dear friends and family.

Steph, remember you don't have anyone to pay back, the Lord has that taken care of! They will receive blessings from Him for their willingness to serve, and He is grateful that you are allowing them the opportunity to serve so they can receive all of the WONDERFUL blessings he has ready to give to them for their faithfulness and selflessness.(some are too afraid or proud to ask or let others serve them in times of need). You just work on resting and recovering so you can get back to full health and be the Wonderful mommy you are to those Beautiful boys! And...when you are in full health and all is well again you will then be ready to be His hands and answer someone else's call/need for service because you will remember what a blessing it was in your life when others served you and you will show your gratitude to Him for the help and service He sent you, and you will be a blessing to someone else in their time of need. So glad you are home recovering and really hoping the other stuff can be figured out and you get answers that you need. Praying.

I'm so glad you made it safely out of surgery. I thought about you all day. I hope they figure out what's making you sick soon too so you can enjoy good health again. It's so awful trying to be a mom while being sicky. Love you friend!

man, i hate it when i think i comment, and then i don't see it when i come back and reread the comments. all i said was hallelujah, glory be. i have increased faith that you will find the cause of your other health issue, but hate that you have to endure it in the mean time. love you so much.

Stephanie, you don't need to worry about paying anything back. You've already paid it forward!
