Shea's surgery was successful on Wednesday. She was very brave, and I was so proud of her. The actual procedure only lasted 45 minutes. She now has a large pin that goes from one end of her bone to the other. She woke up feeling groggy, thirsty, and ORNERY! The orneriness lasted for 2 days. I was ready to clobber her, but I was trying to cut her some slack. Thankfully, she seems to be snapping out of it.
She traded her sleek, purple cast for a big lumpy awkward wrap and will have to wear it for the next couple weeks. Once we see the doctor to remove the stitches, they are going to fit her for a removable cast that she will have to wear for the rest of the summer. By Hilton Head, she should be ready to swim and bike ride and build some awesome sand castles.
About Me
- Sandy
- My name is Sandy. I married my husband Nick in July of 2002, and we have four children. Taylor was born in 1994; Shea was born in 1996; Isabella was born in 2006 and Nicholas arrived in February of 2008. Taylor and Shea are my children from my first marriage. After my divorce, I went back to school full time to get a 2 year degree, and waited tables at night. Nick was the manager of the restaurant at the time. We developed a friendship, which turned into much more after both of us had moved on to other careers. I had graduated from school and accepted a job in the legal department at a company that handled corporate collections. I told Nick that I would not consider marriage until I was secure in my job, and had purchased my own house. Shortly after those events, Nick and I were married. Since the birth of Isabella, I have become a stay at home mom, and absolutely love it. We have a blended family, and 2 sets of kids in completely different stages of their lives; but somehow, the six of us have become a solid, happy family.
