Marks Birthday...

On the Monday before my surgery Chloe came down with MRSA again. Dr. Hoverman wanted me to be tested if I tested positive we would have to postpone the surgery until after I had taken the antibiotic. So Tuesday morning I got an order from Dr. Hales and got tested for MRSA. We didn’t find out until about 3 pm on Wednesday that the preliminary said I was negative, so the surgery was still on.

The night before my hysterectomy Chris & the girls came over for Marks birthday. We had a bbq with cake and ice cream. At the end we remembered that we wanted to give me a blessing but the girls were done so Courtney took them home. Mitch ended up coming over so he stayed and helped with the blessing. Chris did the anointing and Mark gave the blessing. There was a peaceful feeling throughout the whole blessing. He blessed that the Dr. with her knowledge and skills would also be aware of things throughout the surgery and to be able to make good decisions as things presented themselves and how to handle things. He blessed me and the family with many other things but that is what stood out to both Mark and I. We both felt confident about our surgeon and her skills especially with the blessing.
