port surgery today




"Quick and easy," is how Juliana describes the surgery to install her port today at Concord Hospital.  Juliana's sister Miriam came into town for a visit last night.  She brought Juliana to the hospital this morning and they were home for lunch and naps.
We all love having Miriam visit, especially the girls, who took her to the elementary school's spaghetti dinner and read bedtime stories to her.  The rainbow bagels she brought from NYC were also exciting.
It reminds me of when I crashed my bicycle, injuring my face and knocking out three teeth.  My mother came up to help out for a few days, and after she left, Juliana was talking to Flo about clouds and silver linings. Juliana said, "it is too bad that dad crashed and I wish he hadn't, but it's nice that we got to spend time with Grammie." Flo, who was three at the time, thought about it and said "yeah. I think it was worth it."
We are touched by the cards, care packages, special deliveries and meal sign ups.   Thank you.
