Mother Knows Best

Woke up to rounds and they wanted to send us home. Joseph hasn't eaten much and is having a lot of pain due to the abdominal muscles cramping when he moves. With a 3.5 hour drive home, I was nervous and the momma bear inside was furious. Good thing I'm very experienced at advocating. We decided one more night, which is still one night sooner than I was originally told. His muscles are finally relaxed and pain is under control. He's sleeping peacefully. We should be home tomorrow afternoon! Yay. It's exhausting having surgery and dealing with the pain. And it's exhausting being the mom to the one who is in pain. It will be so good to get home! Here's our bit of a view. I've always loved the mountains of Utah!
