Update time

Kelvin had his surgery on Tuesday and it's now Thursday. The surgery went really well and they think that they got everything. The pathology report isn't in yet, but it should be in in the next few days. He's kind of had a tough time, not because of the incision and the pain of the kidney removal (that feels pretty good right now.) but because his shoulder hurts really bad. I guess when they did the surgery they were a little rough on his arm when they were moving it around and some of the tendons were damaged. At least that's what Kelvin was muttering to me after they took the x-rays and finally talked to about it. Of course they didn't say that they caused the damage. We just assumed that that was the reason. (Or they dropped him...that might of done it) Would've been mighty hard to get him back up there though! He's not a small man by any stretch.
He was finally able to have some broth for dinner. And some jello. I think that that was his favorite. He'll probably get some real food tomorrow. Course, I don't think that hospital food is real food. It's disgusting! Scrambled eggs in the morning that are dried out and cold, are not appetizing. But hey, when you have nothing for 2 1/2 days and then broth, maybe that nasty food will taste like ambrosia. (NOT!)
My kids have been loving the meals brought in. They get dessert every day! And they love all the great food. Homemade food every day. They wish Mom would do that. (We have stock in Mc Donalds) They are missing their dad though. I'm missing him too. I don't like to sleep alone. In fact I hate the dark. I am the worst scaredy-cat ever. I don't ever turn off the lights downstairs, cuz I'm always scared something is gonna get me from behind on the way up the stairs. Even now my heartrate is climbing thinking about it. (Think about something else....)
It's Emma's and Joseph's birthday tomorrow and they get to go to the Bosch Store and learn how to make bread. There is a play place for them so I can not feel too guilty for taking them there on their birthday. And then my sister and I are going to take them to Build A Bear and to see the movie "Madagascar" I hope they think the day is fun. I bought them each a gift. A Transformer action figure for Joseph and a Barbie princess with horse for Emma. I know they will love them. And the other kids will bake their cakes for them while we are gone. (I hope)
Kelvin will be coming home on Sat. or Sun. Yeah!!!! Well...talk at ya later!
