"A business man boards a plane, takes his seat and opens his laptop. After a few minutes in the air, he hears a voice say 'Nice Tie!' He continues working and, after a few minutes, hears the voice say 'Nice shoes!' He looks around and cannot tell who is speaking to him. Again he hears the voice say 'Nice suit!' He rings the call button and says to the flight attendant 'I'm sorry, but I keep hearing strange voices tell me that I'm dressed nicely.' The flight attendant responds 'Oh, that's just the peanuts - they're complimentary.'"
Her doctors all said that they would love to bottle Liz's positive attitude today and share it with the rest of their patients. We're expecting to come home tomorrow afternoon, and will spend 3-4 weeks recovering at home. This won't be easy - Liz is not to use her arms except to lift a fork or remote control for 3-4 weeks.
The highlight of Liz's day was talking to Harrison, who was at the Lego Store with his Aunt Celeste, Uncle Tee and cousins Kennedy and Colin (and Carter). Harrison loved hearing his mom's voice and learning that the surgery was over and that she was doing well. We hope you enjoy the picture of Harrison talking to his mom tonight.
Many thanks for the prayers and support - it has been overwhelming and uplifting to know that so many of you are with us in spirit every day on this journey.

Aw - what a cute picture :) Thrilled to hear the good news, and sending continued love and support your way, Liz, for a speedy recovery from surgery. Thinking of you all!
ReplyDeleteSO glad to hear that the surgery went well. I've been praying for you, Liz (and for Mark and the kids, too, of course), and your medical teams and anyone else who could possibly have an effect on the surgery and your follow-up treatments. Hang in there, Woman! We're here for you and yours! Love and very tender hugs!! Michele
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful of you, Mark, to keep us all posted. God's prayer warriors were certainly at work for Lizzie during her surgery and will continue to support her throughout this process.
ReplyDeleteLoved the picture of Harrison. Blessings to all.

Hi Liz (and family),
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear the surgery went well! Have been thinking about you and praying for your speedy recovery. I've had a few folks (other than preschool social workers) ask about you, so I guess it has leaked out. Is it okay if I send an e-mail to the rest of the staff telling them of your illness and your surgery went well? I know many of them would like to post a blog message or send you well-wishes.
I have tons and tons of movies....I'll send you some. What is your favorite genre??? Who are your favorite actors and actresses? Let me know at slbrowning@fcps.edu.
Bless your heart....hang in there Liz!
Take care,
Sandy
