For this can of hairspray. I bought it right before I got married...SIXTEEN years ago. My girls get the biggest kick out of it. AND, I think they've used it more than me....for dance recitals. Now that my girls are done dancing, this just might last me a few more years. :)
For Becky Billin. She's like Ben's second mother. I'm grateful for the countless ways that she serves Benjamin and my family. We are SO lucky to have her, as a friend AND as a caregiver.
There will never be words adequate enough to express our love and thankfulness, but know how lucky we feel to have you in our lives. We love you B.B!
For Junior and his incredible talent.
I've never met anyone with a more infectious smile than Junior. Come meet him...you WON'T be sorry.
(don't you just LOVE this picture? Crazy hair day)
I'm thankful for EVERY MINUTE I've had with him.
Stevie spent the evening in the ER.
Kayla?
SMILE!
I know...it's flattering.
This is post-sugery 7 days.
Still having tenderness at the site.
As if THIS isn't exciting enough?
I got to have the STOMACH FLU too!
Totally FUN!
It was 3 solid days of bonding with my toilet.
GOOD TIMES!
Steve told me he's moving into his closet.
HE thinks if HE tries HARD enough...
And THIS poor chap?
The surgery went really well. Dr. S told me that it took longer than anticipated because he was having a hard time locating my vocal chords. So instead of 90 minutes, it turned into 3 hours. He did a great job though and is 99% sure that my thyroid is non-cancerous. There is a 20% chance that I'll need medication to regulate my thyroid function, but I won't know for a month. I'm praying that I'm in the 80% category. 
Here is the infamous blown IV. See how SWOLLEN my arm is? It didn't even last 12 hours. I just can't fiure it out. Thankfully they were able to get another one in my opposite hand fairly easily.
The next few pictures are of the allergic reactions I had to the sticker leads. Itchy, itchy, ITCHY! (and they were only on my body for less than 4 hours.)
I'm home...48 hours later and I'm back in my own bed! :) Final results coming to a future post near you.
