It has now been a week since my (Jacob) surgery. I came home from the hospital on Friday (May 1) and have been recuperating since. I was able to watch my kids play sports on Saturday and attend church on Sunday. I am doing fine. I
have mild aphasia. I don’t know how permanent it is yet because
I’ve only been out of surgery for a week. But for now, I can communicate, read, and write well
and most people wouldn’t even know that I have anything wrong with me.
Physically, I need more rest, but other than that, I came out of this latest
thing in pretty good shape.
I just wanted to make sure I thanked all the people who
helped us over the past week. Most of all, I wanted to thank my parents,
in-laws and sister in-law Claire, all of whom made a superhuman effort to come
down here to be with us. I’m also thankful for all the thoughts, prayers, and
words of support conveyed electronically.
