Mom's surgery

Mom had her rotator cuff surgery on Friday.  I'll be honest, it was a pretty exhausting day.  My sister was willing to meet me at the hospital so that I didn't have to leave my house at 6AM, but it was still a pretty early morning.  Mom's surgery went well overall, although it turns out there is a great deal more damage than we originally understood there to be.  The tendons are severely retracted and there is no guarantee they are going to reattach.  Right now it's just a waiting game, and fingers are crossed!

Dealing with my family can be pretty draining as well, and that made Friday evening more exhausting.  I am so grateful to Andrew for taking complete charge of the kids for the day and handling everything.  Hopefully we won't have to continue on this medical trail!
