Friday's Symphony in Three Parts

Part One:

Happy Birthday K2! 24 years ago, I was the size of a small planet! No time to find and post that picture this morning... but it's all true! You were my largest baby and had tons of dark, dark hair. Over the years, you've been quirky (shoe and sock issues anyone?), sweet, fun, high maintenance and have succeeded in mastering one of the most vibrant tempers I've ever seen. With the graduation from nursing school on the horizon this summer, this is your year! Happy Birthday Bug Lynn!

Part Two:

K3's 3rd surgery is this morning. This will be the removal of all 4 wisdom teeth, the harvesting of bone from the right wisdom teeth sockets and the second bone graft on her front lower jaw to replace the bone she lost following the accident. This is hands down the most painful sugery she is likely to have, with the longest recovery time. We picked up all her meds last night and Madeline is ready for some heavy duty cuddling to speed the healing process. I'm really happy that we are finally getting this step done!

Part Three:

While I have the next few days off to take care of K3, I'll be working on some of my own projects which were derailed at the time of K3's accident. At least that's the plan... we'll see if it fits in with K3's needs. Following her previous surgeries, I found I only had time to keep one of us fed, bathed and medicated and that someone wasn't me! But I've got this process mastered now (ha!) so we'll see. I don't know if I'll be able to fit in blog time, but I'll try!

Have a lovely, lovely Friday!

AG out!

PS ~ The third photo (Puget Sound) was taken at 6 last night, looking west from Redondo past Maury Island with the Olympic Mountain range in the background. The Olympic Mountains can also be seen from Victoria, British Columbia!

Good luck with the surgery, K3! I hope it's not as bad as it sounds like it will be and if it is I wish nothing but healthy thoughts for you.

AG, you will be no help at all to K3 if you get sick so if you get a second or a minute, try to remember to feed/bathe/clean/rest yourself. I will be thinking happy worry-free thoughts for you and TOG.

Take care of each other. I'll keep you in my prayers.

Best of luck to K3.....she's much braver than I would be:) Perhaps I would feel differently if I were being smothered with love from Madeline!

Happy Birthday to K2! Isn't it funny that you just KNOW what their personalities are going to be like by the time they hit age 3??!

Good luck to K3... She is in my thoughts!

Thinking of all of you! I know she'll come flying through!
Let us know how things are going.
Hugs!

I haven't been keeping up with K3's progress, but I'm here to wish her -- and you -- the very best outcome and speediest recovery. Take care of yourself, Mama AG, and your load will be a tiny bit lighter. And happy birthday to the very lovely (looks like her mama) K2!
