I don't know how many of you knew that Jeff was having gastric by-pass surgery today. He came through just fine and was resting comfortably when I left him. The decision to have this radical surgery was not a whim. We have been going through the process to get approved for more than a year. As a result of being over weight, in the last few years Jeff has developed diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol. He also has a lot of achy joints. This surgery and the resulting weight loss will help him to be much more healthy and will extend his life by many years (God willing).
Josh went with Jeff and I to Mason City where the surgery was performed. We are both exhausted after only getting 3 hours of sleep last night and then getting up at 2:45 a.m. to get Jeff to the hospital by 5:30 a.m. We took turns driving/sleeping coming home this afternoon because we kept getting drowsy. It has been a long day and I am looking forward to falling into bed in just a little bit.
I'll work tomorrow morning and then head back up to spend the afternoon with Jeff. He will come home some time on Friday. Keep praying for his recovery and the change in lifestyle that we will be making. Thanks!!
