THE 2nd SURGERY (Simeon)


My Mom-Mom and me after my 2nd surgery

Dr. Woo and me.  Look at his hands!

Going into the second surgery on Monday I was excited because I knew that I would eat again!  The doctors gave me anaesthesia again but I didn't see anything strange this time.  I was a little concerned that I was going to get struck by lightning in a lightning storm because Dr.Woo was using titanium rods to rebuild my spine.  When I woke up from surgery back in ICU I opened my eyes and saw my mom-mom from Philadelphia, I felt sad and happy at the same time because I couldn't reach up to give her a hug but I tried.  My first meal was pancakes and scrambled eggs and it taste delicious and looked exquisite, I ate that meal so fast.  Then Kaci the physical therapist came by, she sat me up then stood  me up, it hurt more than you can imagine.  I knew I had to work hard to walk again. So I had physical therapy two times a day. Once in the morning and in the evening, it was painful but when Daddy came we had bible study about being strong and courageous, that gave me motivation and made me want to reach my goal.  I received lots of money too. Two weeks later they let me out of the hospital because I was walking with a walker.  I was thrilled to be at home with my whole family. I slept so good in my bed and thanked God for Thanksgiving. I'm counting my blessings.....


"Have I not commanded you?  Be strong and courageous.  Do not be frightened, and do not be dismayed, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9
