So after all that rah rah be happy stuff ... let me follow up with the details about my best Valentine's Day EVER (so far)! I GOT ALL SORTS OF HUGS AND KISSES from some hot little blonde guys (I think one of them may have had a fever) :-) I got a call from Jonathan telling me they were heading this way and would be in Spokane on Friday. As luck would have it, I had Friday off, so I took off after work, lickity-split, for Spokane and we met up just east of Coeur D'Alene at a timeshare place. It was so fun to see the boys and see how big they've gotten, and hear all the words Bowdrie knows. Over breakfast Bowdrie told me I'm funny, and this afternoon he told me he loved me. Awww ... I am loved!
Dad update: Dad had surgery today to try to fix the damaged vocal chord and whatever else is causing him to choke so frequently. He made it through surgery just fine and here's mom's update: Jim had his surgery today and the Dr thought he should spend the night but Jim wanted to come home and I think he'll feel better if I'm around. The nurse gave him some juice to see how his swallow was and he choked up and the juice went flying.........so guess things aren't quite fixed yet, but at least we hope for a good recovery. He didn't panic so that was a very good thing. The cut is right in the front of his neck and is probably about two inches long, but it looks great........he has a neck collar on and a little drain which will come out tomorrow when we got up to see the Doctor.........Dr Edmond is a great guy and Jim seems to like him so that is half the battle. Anyway, we hope this will help him with his talking and swallowing and we'll have good things to ...
