Well...my mother's surgery went really well on Wednesday. I got to the hospital around 6:00 on Wednesday morning and was able to see her before they took her into surgery. It started at 8:00 and the doctor came out to see at exactly at 9:00. He told us that the surgery itself went well and he was able to remove the disk with no problems. However, he was extremely concerned about my mother's weight. We all are worried about her weight, but as crazy as it sounds, I was really glad to hear the doctor say that. I hope this is her wake up call! He said that her skin on her back is starting to break down because she is skin and bones. He suggested having her see a nutritionist, which I think is a great idea, because she needs someone to tell her the appropriate things to eat to gain weight. She is about 93 lbs. right now, which is not what a woman should ever weigh! Children weigh that...actually, Ethan is about 85 lbs., and he is only 10!!!!
She was only scheduled to be in the hospital for one night, but she was having some issues this morning. She starting getting nauseous and had a killer headache, which they said sometimes happens for those that have spine surgery. They wouldn't let her go home until she was 100% better, which is good. So she is in there for one more night. She was doing much better when I saw her tonight than she sounded on the phone this morning. So, hopefully she is on the mend!
I was so tired yesterday from getting up so early and the fact that Brody didn't sleep well the night before last. His right bottom tooth has officially broke the skin so he has been teething alot and I think they are bothering him right now. We put Baby Orajel on them last night and tonight so I hope that helps. I went to bed right after I fed him and when my alarm went off this morning at 6:00, Ted turns to me and says, "Did you get up with him last night?" I said, "No, did you?" He said, "Nope!" We both couldn't believe it since he had woke up the past 2 nights! He slept until 6:45 this morning, which was great! :) Let's hope this continues!
Here are few pictures from the last couple of days! Hope everyone has had a great week! Tomorrow is Friday! YAY!!!

I am so happy the surgery went well. I agree, I think a nutritionist is a really good idea. Sometimes it takes someone else to tell you what to do before you do it. Other then a family member that is. You are lucky Brody likes that baby Ora-gel, Samuel hated it. Once I put it on him in his sleep because I thought he could handle it and he woke right up screaming. I haven't put any on since then. Have a great weekend.
