a blog by Peachy
Just wanted to let everyone know Peach made it home today!
She had a good overnight stay at the hospital, put on comfy jammies from Lyla, Sutton, and Cooper to wear as she left, and promptly fell asleep in the car as we drove home.
She’s happy to be 10 pounds lighter, in bed, eating soup, and directing me as I write this blog 🙂
A few photos to share:
Thank you again. Sister wants me to tell you she has never felt so loved.
Sister is out of surgery and everything went well! HOORAY!!! We’re in her room now and she is smiling, though a bit groggy.
She’ll be staying the night at the hospital tonight (mom is staying with her) and then should be ready to come home by midday tomorrow.
It will be a couple weeks of recovery, but we are all relieved and happy that the surgery is behind us.
Expect more posts and pictures in the days to come!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Sister asked me to write a post as surgery got started, so here I am, writing from the waiting room of the Seton Northwest Hills Surgical Center in Austin, sitting next to my mom and brother.
In the lead up over the last 24 hours Sister has been as she has for this entire journey: brave, funny, calm, and a little weird per her usual self.
Yesterday she kicked things off with 8 shots of nuclear dye in her boobs. FUN!!!
Then we FaceTimed with Coop and Lyla and Sutton and she opened gifts and cards from all the littles of our family.
We had a GREAT pre-marathon carb-heavy dinner at Via 313 last night and did one last glamour shot session with her boobs. This was our favorite (just a classy amount of cleavage) –
And then of course she made us take a lot of selfies this morning at home and at the hospital.
As she was wheeled off to the OR, we laughed and waved and I reminded her to 1) say hi to Dad for me (we have a feeling he’ll be a little closer in her dream-like state) and 2) that she’ll hopefully come out and respond like Charlie did to his flu shot earlier this week – “it didn’t even hurt.”
Thank you all for surrounding and enveloping and lifting her up with your love. We couldn’t possibly be more grateful.
More soon –
Sister
