A Rollercoaster of a Day

Jess was in a great mood this morning-- as if having extensive surgery the night before was no big deal. Later, she got measured for a custom orthotic that will brace her back. It's very likely that she will have to wear the brace the rest of her life, but on the plus side it will help prevent other vetebrate from collapsing. A little bit after two Jess starting got a bad headache. They were able to get the pain under control, but in the meantime Jess got sick to her stomach. There was a long stretch of time this afternoon and tonight that we let Jess rest. So, while she rested, we went out to eat with Jessa's cousin(Krista), Katelyn, my mother/father in-love, my Aunt Terry and my Uncle Ron. I love my family. Then we came back and waited around a bit-- the nurse finally let us in about 8:30 and we stayed until after 10. Jess was feeling much, much better, so we ended with a high point in a rollercoaster of a day. By the way the blog posts the time in Central Time, so it's late but not as late as it posts. Thank you for your prayers and good night.
