Time seems to be whipping by lately. I cannot believe that Christmas is next week. Our short time left here in Texas seems to be running out fast. I did at least squeeze in some Christmas cookie baking with the girls today!
Tom had his surgery last week, followed by 5 days in the hospital. He is doing great, and recovering well. There is a great deal of pain, and his poor abdomen looks as if someone took a knife AND a baseball bat to it, but it is within the realm of normal for the surgery. Most importantly, all the plumbing is now functioning normally.
I am so grateful to God for pulling Tom through this whole thing, and for the doctors that He used to heal him. I'm not sure I could have held up as well, if I hadn't known that God would take care of him, no matter what the outcome.
And I have to say, the girls have been just awesome through this ordeal. Kelsie kept a level head when I had to rush out in the middle of the night to take her dad to the ER. All three of them patiently waited for hours on end, with no family around, to find out whether or not their dad would be ok. They have taken care of themselves (and the house) like mature young ladies, and have been very understanding when they haven't been able to go and do much the past couple of months. I've been very grateful for what great kids we have.
So now, the counting down really begins. A few days until we list the house for sale. One week until Christmas. Eight weeks (roughly) until we move. I have a feeling that I'll blink, and 8 weeks will be gone.
