Surgery

Surgery went well but waking up did not. I have never before responded to the anesthesia like that before. The medicine made me so sick I was dry heaving/throwing up from the time I left the recovery room until about 10 pm. That was definitely not in my plans! I had the whole night planned out including Scott finishing his day at work and going to a meeting to my mom watching a volleyball game! Thanks Kristin and Katie for filling in for me on Thursday. It was nice to know even though things weren't going as planned, I had great friends filling in for me. My mom was great and left at 7 to get the kids and put them to bed. I finally left the hospital about 8 pm, 4 hours later than planned! I did get downstairs this morning to update but I am very tender and this will be my one trip down! Thank you all for your prayers and help! I appreciate everything you've all done!! It will be a couple more days before I update on the soccer games!

Out of Surgery

I just talked to Scott; Kelly is out of surgery. Everything went as planned and really well. She will be in recovery for about 45 minutes before they thought she would start waking up.

Surgery

As many of you know, I am having surgery tomorrow at 12:30 pm. Please pray that all goes well and there's no complications. I am pretty calm about this but the closer it's getting, the more nervous I get. I have been getting sicker each week and now almost everything I eat makes me sick. I have a lot of great people offering to help! My mom is taking the day off to take care of me so Scott can work before and after the surgery. Kristin and Katie are getting the kids after school and my friend Mandy is bringing a meal on Friday. Jen was going to on Thursday but the surgery's so late I didn't think I'd be eating. I feel so blessed to have such great family and friends willing to help out! Thanks everyone for your help, I'll update as soon as I'm feeling better!

Goal!! (#2)

This week was Megan's turn to get her goal! She has been so good this year and so close to getting her first goal. Last week Aunt Sara and Uncle James watched Cody get his first goal and Megan told them that she'd get one this week when they came to watch her. They are good luck for the kids! She was so happy when she got it, it was so cute.

Cody didn't do as well this week in his game. It was like he was in slow motion! He would run and then just stop after a little while. I don't know if it's because he was up so late the night before watching the game. Maybe next week, he'll have a little more energy! He was so funny though yesterday. Those who know him well, knows that he will say things that you just laugh at! Yesterday he got to his game and was playing against a kid in his class, Brock. Brock's mom saw Cody and said hi. Cody looked at her and said how did you recognize me with my gloves on? It's like he thought they made him look completely different or something! After Megan's game, he was talking about his goal. He told us that the ball just popped out in front of him and he decided he'd get a point for his teammates! We laughed so hard and laughed even harder when he asked Megan if she decided to get a point for her teammates also! Hope you all got a few laughs in from him!!

Homecoming

Tonight was the Jenison's homecoming game. We watched the parade after school and forgot the camera. It really wasn't much but it still amazes me that in the short amount of time the parade is, the kids still end up with a bunch of candy! After that we went to eat and then went back to the high school to watch the game. Megan and I went to a tastefully simple party and then joined the boys at halftime. I really don't think I could've taken much more than that. We left with almost 9 minutes left in the last quarter and it was almost 9:45. Cody has a soccer game in less than 12 hours! He should be lots of fun in the morning. When we left the game, Jenison was losing 30-13, they scored the first 13 pts and then apparently decided they were done! It was kind of funny going to a homecoming game for a high school we didn't go to, but they kids enjoyed themselves and that's all that matters right? Stay tuned for pictures of the games tomorrow, maybe we'll actually do things right and get pictures of Megan with our camera for once!
