Highs and Lows

Our week in review, using the "High/Low" system:

HIGHS:
  • Met with Dr. Knox again on Monday.  He went over all of his reservations and such in regards to Steve's surgery.  He explained in detail what he'd like to do and was honest in saying "I'm not 100% sure I can though."  I appreciate honesty.
  • We got a surgery date!!!  August 22nd at 7:00!  Praise God!
  • Steve and I celebrated eight years of marriage on Tuesday, July 23.
  • Steve had a bouquet of flowers sent to me at work-he rarely does that, so it was a wonderful and beautiful surprise! (And get this-the bouquet weighs 16 pounds!)
  • Tanner has done great on her "modified Atkins" diet that she's started on.  It's not always been easy, but she does it without a lot of complaining and is learning about healthy  food choices.
  • The Junior Auxiliary garage sale is over and done with.
  • The weekend is here. 
  • Steve and I's jobs have been very understanding when it comes to all of our absences because of his (or Tanner's) Dr's appointments.  In fact I was told this week that I can make up my time I miss and can even accrue some comp time for when I'm off with Steve after his surgery.  This is a big deal and I appreciate the fact that the PD is willing to work with us.
LOWS:

  • Tanner had a couple of bouts of vomiting this week. 
  • Tanner also had two migraines this week that she had to take the Imitrex nose spray for.  Thankfully the meds worked.
Overall, it's been a great week.  More highs than lows ALWAYS makes the week a winner in my book!!!

Hoping next week is the same way!
