Pakka's right total knee replacement went well today. He was in surgery about 2 1/2 hours as predicted. The doctor said he has only seen 2-3 other knees as bad as his. Tonight when we visited him he had no pain at all but was having quite a bit of itching from the pain medications which they were trying to get under control with other medication. Quinn was hesitant to see him because he absolutely did not want to see his incision... even though I told him it would be all wrapped up! ...He plopped himself down in a far away chair when he walked in to his room but it didn't take him long to figure out that he wasn't going to see too much and he lightened up a bit! Ha!
Today was the kid's last day of school. They were only there from 9-11:25. Madison's class spent their morning helping Mrs. Hartsough move her classroom down the hall because she is changing rooms for next year. Sound familiar Amy? Quinn's class also cleaned. Madison spent the afternoon at a classmate's house and was a bit disappointed in her afternoon. I guess they couldn't agree on something to do, everything Madison wanted to do was an automatic "no"... I know there are 2 sides to the story but this is her version anyway. Quinn spent the afternoon with Nate. He had fun of course. Madison has a special request for next year already... that I take a vacation day from work on their last day and make the day fun! Ha!
Tonight they visited Pakka in the hospital and then they stayed by themselves from 7-9:15 while I went to a board meeting at church. They did great! They had their showers done, rooms picked up and were both laying on the couch reading books without the TV on when I walked in. Tony is working.
Well, I have so much to do, so I'll let you all go.
Love to all, Leah
