Jake's Surgery

He's still groggy, and enjoying the drugs, but Jake came through his four hour surgery well.  Here is the self-portrait he posted on Facebook.

We picked him up at 5:15 this morning for check-in at Swedish Hospital at 5:40.  He was wheeled to the OR about 7:45, and was in recovery by about noon.  We were able to see him about 1:30 before coming home.  He may be released by tomorrow evening, or else Sunday, and will come here to the homestead to recover for a few days.  Thanks for all of your good wishes.


Meanwhile back here at home we have set up for Isaac's birthday party tomorrow, and Tom has had a nap. Now we'll make a light dinner and then go back in to visit Jake for a bit.  


Did I say recently that I wasn't sure what to do with my day?  Forget that.

  2. Funny how things seem to crop up to help us with that!

    So glad the surgery went well -- absolutely amazing that he can go home so quickly. Still in my prayers.

  3. Oh yes, the surgery was today. I can see by his picture his personality is still in tact. Only Jake would post a picture immediately after surgery. Hope he continues to do well.

  5. I'm glad all went well. I had to read back a bit to learn what kind of surgery. That sure is a short hospital stay. I'm glad he's recovering well.

  6. Phew! That is such a relief! What a strong guy Jake is to come out of surgery with enough humor to post on FB. Good luck with the birthday party!

  9. So glad to hear Jake's surgery went well...and as far as being 'scattered' well, that happens to me when my days lack structure and schedule. Hopefully, things will settle down a bit for you and you can feel focused once more. Take good care!
