Yesterday started out as a simple day but it ended up going crazy. Zeb went for a simple eyeappointment to check on his vision. Next thing you know they've told him that he has a tear in his retina which sent us spiraling the rest of the day.
He was told to go see a retina specialist down in Denver which he did. Upon arrival they decided they needed to do surgery right away so Zeb called me while I was out to dinner with Mark. Luckily since Mark was there with me he was able to take me home and then take me down to the retina center so I could drive Zeb home. While we were driving down Zeb called and said the surgery was canceled. Turns out he did not pass the health inspection that he needed to. Something about low sodium and a 1st° blocked artery etc..(Yeah, I panicked) Needless to say we were worried about that and so was the doctor so she didn't want to do surgery but believed that we still needed to get it done asap. Mark was driving me and in the time we turned off onto Colorado Boulevard and went about 5 miles Zeb call me and said he had gotten laser done. They decided to laser it so the tear would not get any worse. By the time we got there, he was coming out and ready to go home.
However, because we were going to do surgery on Monday morning he still needed to get a health clearance. So we were sent
up to Thorton medical center (opposite of our home) where we went into the emergency room and
got a bunch a tests done in order to get the clearance. Can you say 'cha ching?!
Anyway, we got the clearaence so surgery will be Monday morning to attach or fix the torn retina. Apparently he's getting a buckle around it right now and will need to lay on his back for a number of weeks. I'm glad they caught it in time and hopefully all will turn out well.
So today Zeb is going into surgery to fix his retina. This is the first time he has gone under so I was a little nervous but it all seemed to work out OK. Mitch came down and sat with me part of the time as we waited for him to recover from the anesthesia. He was out of it for quite a long time because we saw lots of people coming and going from their surgery. He kept complaining his eye hurt but that's no surprise. I feel bad for the guy. We love you and we are just glad you came back to us.
Well, in Colorado and we do not get the benefit of fresh seafood but we do enjoy it. Kailei's favorite place to go is Red Lobster and so we headed there for her birthday dinner. We ate lots of crab, we had dessert, and we laughed. Here's to turning 12!
We celebrated the Kailei and Sydney's birthdays today. Mom was nice enough to host it at her house because I was a little crazed. My friend did the cupcakes which were fun. The girls just keep getting bigger and bigger. So nice to be with family today. Lately we haven't been getting together enough
