Surgery

Courage consists in the power of self-recovery.

So, last week Chris had to have shoulder surgery. She's fine.

Here are a few things that were heard around our house related to the procedure:

Elizabeth: (hugging Chris' shoulder) Last time I'll be huggin' THIS shoulder.

Chris: What? Why?!

Elizabeth: 'Cause it'll be all freaky. They're shaving the bone and stuff.

Maddie: Neko's head smells like the hospital because Mom was petting her.

Elizabeth: I somehow want to say a sentence about Mom being home from the hospital to Eleanor so she'll make us cookies. I LOVE her cookies!
