Update

Well, it's done and it went well. We woke up VERY early this morning and got Jeff to the hospital by 5:30. They took him back to get him ready for surgery and we (his mother and I) got to sit with him before they rolled him back to the OR. His surgery was supposed to start at 7 and take about 2 hours, then an hour for him to wake up from the anesthesia. After that, he was going to be rolled into a post-op room until he felt well enough to go home.

At 7, they rolled him back to the OR. Terri (his mother) and I decided to go to the cafeteria and get some breakfast. We sat, ate and talked until about 8:30. Then, we went to the waiting room. At 10:30 we hadn't heard anything, so Terri went to the volunteer at the desk and asked her about Jeff. She checked and Jeff was still in surgery. At 10:45 we were led to a consult room and told the doctor would come to talk to us. Dr. Sharma and Paul Tanner (the guy who will be making the prosthetic ear) came in and told us everything went well. They didn't actually start the surgery until 8:30. Jeff needed an hour to wake up from the anesthetia. So, back to the waiting room we went.

Around noon, Jeff was being wheeled to the post-op room, and we got to follow. I cried when I saw him because he was all bandaged up and he looked so out of it. He was in the post-op room until 2:30. Then, we were able to take him home.

All he wanted was a veggie omelet and water. So, we got him home and settled. He took his pain killer and drank some water, ate his omelet and tried to rest.

Look at how tired he is. At 7, he decided he wanted to try and sleep. So, I got him all settled for the night and headed home.

He thanks you all for your prayers and love.

Jeff's surgery

Jeff has to be at LDS Hospital at 5:30 in the morning for his surgery. They are putting 3 pins in his head to hold the prosthetic ear. Please keep him in your prayers.

I need to go to bed. I have to wake up in a few hours to get him to the hospital.

Theo's day

Thanks to Joanna giving Theo his lesson on Thanksgiving about brushing teeth, she found a cavity in his mouth. We went today and had the tooth taken out. The dentist said the roots were gone from the tooth and his adult tooth was right underneath it. Too cute, when they went to numb it with a BIG NEEDLE they told Theo to close his eyes cause they were gonna spray in his mouth and they didn't want it getting in his eyes!! HAHA

Happy Thanksgiving!

Here are some pictures from the East Coast Donbroskys!

She's so cool, all the 10 year olds say so.

Well Well

Well, no posts since Halloween! Come on now! Well, Mike and I just celebrated our one year anniversary! Can't believe it. We celebrated it with him going to the Dr for the cysts(or whatever they are)on his head. We go back to the Dr on the 9th of December. Find out if they are bacterial or fungal!! EWE!!! He has like 6-7 of them now! He blames the new blood. Could be! We just moved into our new place. Trying to save every penny so we can buy this place in a year. Pray for us, I am!!! I don't want to move for a long time. Moving from Timken, THE LONGEST WE HAVE LIVED ANYWHERE AS A COUPLE(3.5yrs), has made me realize, clean everything, EVERYTHING, once or more times a week. Ugh, the place is a mess. It isn't horrible, but I am embarrassed of it. I told Mike, we should have moved after a year, wouldn't have been so hard:)

Halloween!!!

Just a few pictures captured of Halloween!! Sorry about the eyes being closed Kat!!
