At Home and Happy

Life is good. Surgery went well and Caleb is keeping Chris and Cannon busy.  It is nice to be home and to hear the sounds of a babbling, bustling 2 year old with Grandma right behind him.  Before surgery we had to take Gma to the chocolate fountain so we've got a couple pics of our outing.

Here I am in all my post-surgery splendor.  The drain was removed this evening.  Fortunately we have a friend who is a nurse because even though the doc said Cannon would be able to take it out, he wouldn't have had the stomach for it.  I wouldn't have had the stomach to take something out of his neck either, so we breathed a sigh of relief to have our nurse friend stop by and take care of that little task.
