Hernia surgery

Robert had hernia surgery yesterday.  We've known for about 3-1/2 weeks that he had a hernia, but it had stopped bothering him so we weren't terribly concerned.  He finally saw a surgeon last week and he scheduled it for yesterday so that Robert might be able to compete again by the end of the cross country season.  Everything went well and we were home by mid-morning.  He slept most of the day and is handling the pain fairly well.  My mom came down last evening while we went to Thomas's cross country meet and she thought he looked as though he was doing well.  He tried going to school today, but I received a phone call to pick him up after just two hours.  Tomorrow is questionable, but we are hoping he might be able to make it through half a day.  We are also hoping that tomorrow being the beginning of September brings a healthier month!
