Second year Day 78 - Friday March 1, 2013

Today I took Stephany into the doctor for her post op checkup today.  She's doing so much better!  Of course, the whole getting dressed for the first time (in other than p.j.'s), going to town riding in the car, sitting up without her legs elevated for the first time at the doctors office thing, etc was a little hard, but things are getting better and will continue getting better.  She was pretty tired out afterwards. The doctor released her for travel.  Her incisions were looking good, although one of them needed another steri-strip.  Today we got to see Dr. Rogers partner, who happens to be our bishop, Bishop Taylor.  He was very kind and supportive.  He spent time explaining things to us, about the whole cyst thing. I was able to ask questions about how Bridgett lost her ovary and fallopian tube and that was good, since I've had questions for over two years and the surgeon who did her surgery was in Utah and we never met him.  While we were there we got to see Sharla, who works with the doctors.  Her mom, Joanna Eddington, is married to one of Mark's cousins and so that is a special bond for us.  We just love Sharla (who doesn't, right!).  It was so nice to sit in her office and just chat while we were waiting.  Too soon the nurse came and took us to the exam room, but it was fun while it lasted, right Sharla!  We also got to see Brook, who is Dr. Taylor's daughter.  Bridgett was fine at home with Tyler.  I've been busy over the past few days, trying to catch up on things that have been waiting for the past several months, while also taking care of the girls.  By evening I was very tired, and went to bed by 10:00.  There's lots to get done tomorrow, especially since it appears we will be leaving to Utah on Sunday:)
