That takes a lot of "Gall"
Paul began with thinking he had the flu, then thought it might be food poisoning, then his heart! After a trip to the Urgent care clinic, and being sent to the hospital emergency...a CT scan turned up the culprit. It turned out to be a very sick gall bladder. Usually surgery for this would be laparoscopy which is 3 small incision, but his gall bladder was like tissue paper falling apart, so they had to do it the old fashion way...open him up with a 10 inch incision to clean it out well. He was in the hospital 5 days. We are so thankful to God, that this did not happen in China. As it is, he should be moving pretty well by the time we go. Jordan's position on the trip has just changed from tourist to luggage carrier! Paul is recovering well at home. Glad to have a shower! and medicine!
First look after surgery
Travis and Jenny bring lunch and visit. No telling jokes...ok guys!
Liquid only diet...jello...mmmm!
Sophie was glad to see daddy without all the tubes in his nose, etc. Notice Paul holding onto her arm to keep her from bumping him!
Funny face picture...although Paul looks in pain! That might not be made up! =)
Passing time in the hospital room...watching Mary Poppins.
Daddy is tucked into his own bed tonight!
Breakfast next morning is oatmeal. Breakfast for 2!

THIS does not look fun:( Recover well, Paul.
Sakes alive! What a scar! God bless you as you recover.
Wow. I didn't realize it was this bad. We'll keep you in our prayers.
That scar is something.
