My OH friends are the best!

Our daughter did well with the colon surgery.  They did discover an additional issue with her small intestine trying to create its own bypass, so that was surgically corrected too.  We left Des Moines to come home (2 hour drive).  We're both really tired. 

Sister-in-law passed about 1:20 this afternoon in Omaha.  We wish we had been there to help her husband and children cope, but just couldn't be.  We looked through pictures when we got home and will drive them to Omaha (also 2 hours away) tomorrow morning so he can have them when he goes to the funeral home. 

*Sigh*  Life sure delivers some blows sometimes. 

Thanks to all of my wonderful OH friends for your kind words and prayers!

So glad that everything went so well for your daughter and so sorry about your sister in law.   Life can be really challenging at times,  and you have double trouble right now.   Try to be good to yourself in these hard times and continuing prayers for your daughter. :o) Jeani

Wanda, I am so pleased and relieved that things went well for your daughter and wish her a speedy abd uneventful recovery and hope this helps resolve her health problem. It sure is stressful to be in that waiting room and then doing all the traveling. I used to live in Omaha and made the drive between Omaha and Des Moines a zillion times. Know where all the rest stops are. Hope the roads were not bad and glad you are home safely.

And please accept my condolances on your sister in law. A loss is never easy whether expected or not. We will all be thinking of you. You are going to be in for a busy couple of weeks (of course you know that) so don't forget to take care of yourself by taking your vitamins and whatever supplements you need and doing your protein. Your husband and family will need your strength and I have a feeling you are a very strong lady. Its kind of you to take the pictures back to Omaha. Those gestures mean a lot and will not be forgotten. And know that you have done right by all of your family throughout this ordeal and thats the most important thing.

Check in when you can. We'll be thinking of you.

Diane

My condolences for your sister-in-law. I hope she is at peace, and your family finds comfort in being together tomorrow. I am glad your daughters surgery was a success.. big hugs!

great news on your daughter, pleased they were able to also fix another issue at the same time...

condolences to all your family for the loss of your sister inlaw, I wish you nothing but the best over the up coming days.

When it rains......it pours!  Glad your daughter is doing better.  My condolences to you and your family for your SIL.  My thought are with you at this time.

I'm glad to hear your daughter's surgery was successful, and I'm sorry about your SIL. You've had some stressful days recently. I hope your daughter recovers quickly. Hugs.

I'm sure glad to hear how well your daughter did and equally sad about the loss of your SIL!  What an emotional run you've been on - be good to you!

Life surely does squeeze us sometimes. I guess that's how we know we are still in it, huh?

YOU ARE LOVED!  FORGET THAT NEVAH!!
