Shhhh

We're very close to having 24 hours without a major event of course, I knocked on wood . If Scott can get make it until midnight is will be his first day out of the OR in 3 days.
I just called SICU and checked on him. Nurse Sara reports that he's resting comfortably and doing lots of sleeping. He needs it.

Date Night
I had a date with the most beautiful person in the world.


When she wasn't scratching her ass she was kicking mine at Hi-Ho-Cherry-o. Lucky kid.

Having had a day to breathe today has been equal parts good and bad for me. Good because I witnessed the scene above first hand. I got my favorite meal in the entire world (Tuffano's tortellini Alfredo) with my best buddy. I could relax just a tiny bit.
Bad because without some drama I had a moment to look forward and see what's on the horizon. I had a chance to reflect on the events of the last few days and re-live a few of the worst moments.
Don't get me wrong the good out weighs the bad and I wouldn't change a calm day for anything but....

Most importantly though, Scott had a good day. Doesn't matter what happens with me, all that matters is keeping him healthy and strong in spirit.

Lots of people have asked if there is anything they can do. I've called in a few of those offers and would like to ask for another if I could. I would love to set up a Flickr type account where everyone could load their photos of Scott. I have a Flickr account but know nothing about how to make it available for anyone to post to. I've been trying to research it for days and just can't seem to find the time. Does anyone know how to set this up or feel up to the challenge?
Photos and stories are such a huge resource to me right now. I know from having gone through this before that we've got a long road ahead. Having tons of photos from the different times in his life would be such a great tool.
Anyone, anyone????


We are loving all the comments. I haven't read him all the horrible jokes that you guys have so graciously provided, I'm keeping those for a bad day. We love all the stories, positive thoughts and brief glimpses into more normal lives. Don't stop now. Lots of hurdles to come - we need you.
If / when they have to take Scott's leg he's going to have the biggest fight of his life. I can feel it, it's like a rock in the pit of my stomach. It's nice to not feel like we're fighting alone.

Simply.... thank you.....
