Get Well!

Grandma Schaalje got a knee replacement at the start of September, just after we left. So Jackson and Amber made a surprise get-well e-mail for her to read when she got home from teh hospital. These are the pictures taht were in there...
... I Love You...
... listen to some tunes...

... relax...

...when you feel the pain, sad or blue... (they're out of order apparently)

... get lots of rest...

Mom made it thorugh surgery fine and was home within a few days. She is healing well and can get around the block pretty easily.

However, it was a bit of a gong-show for Amber's parents for a bit. Shortly after Amber's mom came home (and was unable to drive from the surgery) her dad had a gallstone attack and was hospitalized for a few days. His gallbladder was then removed a few days after he had recovered from the attack. He too is recovering well now, and says that his appetite has come back a bit now. That is a very good thing since he hasn't wanted to eat much since his treatments.
