Helpers

I just want to say a big thank you to my parents for coming out for my surgery, helping me recover, and helping with the boys.  They came the night before my surgery and stayed a week with me.  I literally couldn't have made it without all their help, so THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

Mom and Dad were my nurses 24/7.  The pain meds didn't work for me so I had a couple of rough days, and they took care of me the whole time.  I couldn't make it up the stairs, so they brought a bed with them and stayed with me in the family room at night, helped me walk, gave me my medicine, cooked me food, got the boys on and off the bus, played with the boys, and just helped in any way they could.  This allowed Matt to go to work, and not have to worry about anything at home.  I have the best parents ever and am so thankful that they could be here with me.  I missed them as soon as they left, and am counting down the days (as always) until we will see them again.  We love you guys!

Thank you also to Jeremy, Cindy, Adelin and Chloe who sent me flowers, and everyone who called and texted to check on me day after day.  I am so blessed to have so many wonderful family members and friends that I know I can count on, and always make me smile!  I really appreciate all of the prayers and well wishes.  Wednesday will be two weeks since my surgery and I'm headed back to work that day!

Since they hadn't seen the boys, they brought their birthday presents with them.  Again, I failed at taking a picture with the boys and my parents, but I do have a few pics of the boys opening their presents.  The boys love their presents, so thank you for those also.  

I also want to give a shout out to our wonderful neighbors.  One of our neighbors shoveled our driveway, sidewalks, and front steps multiple times when it snowed after my surgery.  And, five other neighbors made us meals.  We had dinner covered for over a week thanks to the food that they brought us, which helped a ton.  We are blessed to live in a great development with the best neighbors we could ask for!

Thank you for all the help everyone!  We love you!!! <3 p="">
