SURGERY AND A BABY...

My mom had surgery this morning at 9:00 am. She was so freaked out last night that she couldn't sleep at all, and to top it off everyone knows the irritation of not being able to eat for 24 hours before surgery. The surgery was supposed to be about an hour and a half, but close to three hours later we still hadn't seen the doctor or heard anything! My dad was a little upset. He ended up having to call the e.r. nurse to get a heads up and she told him that she had been out of surgery for about 45 minutes. Not cool! That only made things worse, then he got mad. People's minds start to wander at that point and you start to think of the most horrible things possible. Needless to say, he will be attending the post op appointment with my mom to speak with the doctor about that. On top of all of that, my sister went into labor this morning.....................IN CALIFORNIA! My dad is going to leave this afternoon to go see her. She hasn't had the baby yet so maybe he can still make it. Don't things like this always happen at once though? Anyway, all is well as far as we know. By this time tomorrow my mom should be a little bit more alert, Brandice and Matt should have a baby, and we will have a precious new niece!!!
