Hello faithful readers and friends, Campingdad is back to the blog. It really is hard to fathom and summarize the last two weeks of my and our family’s life. Two weeks ago today we were on the Oasis of the Seas getting ready to dock in the Bahamas. We were with our friends and family. Seven days of sun, beaches, laughs, memories created, and relationships to build and strengthen.
Then Monday night, personal disaster. The pain. The vomiting. The fear. Complete bowel obstruction and probable failure of my ostomy. Here’s a brief summary of the next twelve days:
Medical evacuation...private plane…pain meds…G-tube…emergency room…pain…x-rays…iv’s…nurses…doctors…sleepless nights and restless days…surgery…bloodwork…wound vacuum…Noah arrives and leaves…Andrew arrives and leaves…Nathanael and Ruthie arrive…more x-rays…vital checks around the clock…so many texts/emails/calls/messages…trying to sit up and walk…trying to get home…flights booked…all of that and so much more.
And finally, on Friday around 1130AM, we made it home. And now, recovery and healing.
