6 Days (from the Wife)

We are so blessed with so many friends and allies as we go through this adventure. Many want to be helpful, asking what they can do.

For now, we don’t know:

  • How Chris will feel after his surgery
  • We are expecting a resurfacing and partial replacement, but more significant work could be done if more damage/cancer is discovered.
  • We don’t know how we will be when Chris goes on disability (lost wages, etc.)
  • How quickly he will recover.

Chris has lost a substantial amount of weight – almost 30 lbs as of yesterday. I think he is looking good, but he is stressed out.

Things we do need help with:

  • Once Chris is home, visitors will be nice – change of pace and give me and/or Matt a break. He’ll have games, etc.
  • Minor errands – prescriptions, groceries
  • Letting the animals out for walks.

We are eternally grateful for:

  • Lina, who is helping us keep the house clean
  • Steve, and John who offered to mow the yard while Chris recovers
  • Scott, who helped get some pet sitting services donated
  • Jen and Sam who’ve offered to sit Matt occasionally for some breaks
  • And all of the prayers, good wishes, healing thoughts, etc. It couldn’t hurt.

We are blessed in having you in our lives. Thank you.

As we move forward, I will be taking photographs of events.  Stay Tuned.
