Our amazing Family

Many of you know that my Dad had surgery about 2 weeks ago and my siblings and I all choose to go and help him. I was able to be there for the surgery and about a week after. This was a wonderful experience to be able to use my past surgical experiences. Dad did amazingly well and was an easy patient. I had the opportunity to spend quality time with his new friend, in many different venues and find out for myself how wonderful he is. One of the reasons that I was able to enjoy my time in NM was because Cathy and John took my kids on an amazing vacation to Colorado. Matt was fabulous with helping the kids and many friends took turns with my kids too. While no one wants to ever have surgery, this experience was valuable for me and touched me to see so many people helping our family.
