Jer is the new hero in the house. He has turned the boys on to the wii, particularly some Mario Bros. game. They are only allowed to play this for their screen time when Jer is home as I tell them I don't know how to set it up. Well, tonight Walter told me this wish. When I asked him why, he told me so "you could set up and like playing Mario with us." He is all truth.
This is my first normal week since our vacation and my surgery. I went to the doctor today and he said all is looking well. My only orders are not to run, jump or lift anything substantial for two more weeks. Thankfully the boys have been quite understanding. They have asked when I'll be able to again frequently, though. I do miss picking them up and twirling them around, etc.
If nothing else, this whole incident has reminded me of what an amazing family and group of friends I have. I have received phone calls, flowers, meals, cleaning services and help with the kids left and right. I certainly feel loved. Thank you all.
We've been fortunate to have Jer around a bit more than normal with all this, too. The only stinky thing about it is that reality is now here and he is back to Steven's Point...Monday through Friday this week! Argh! I don't think I can compete with his level of energy and fun, but for these two angels, I will try.
