Tis a New Season- Part 1

I think blogging is often a secondary thing for me. I tend to blog consistently when I see God moving in BIG ways in my heart, my family and my world but I don't blog as much when I see God moving in little ways. My intention for this blog from the beginning was to share my heart with my friends but more importantly to share my heart with myself. It's neat to have an official written record of how God is moving in my family.

On Thursday, Jon awoke me early... like 4:30 am early saying he needed to go to the hospital. I awoke Leigh-Anna and the three of us made our way to the local hospital. I called his parents to come and be with me. I called my mom for support and eventually to come be with me. By 7:00, I was told his blood pressure was "stroke victim high" and they needed more testing but thought his gall bladder might be the reason for his pain." By 9:30 I was told it was his gall bladder but they couldn't do anything for him until they got his blood pressure out of the red zone. They admitted him to the hospital, pumped him with medication for blood pressure and the waiting began. I don't know about medical stuff so I was thankful for a mom and a mother in law to help me ask questions and explain things to me. By 6:00ish, they had the blood pressure under control and scheduled surgery the following day for the removal of his gall bladder. Fast forward to 12:15 am on Friday, the surgery went well... gall bladder was removed. It had literally fallen apart when they took it out. Seems as though it should have been removed years ago. (How many years ago? I was afraid to ask.) They decided to keep him one more night to monitor blood pressure and pain levels. Fast forward again to Saturday morning... I arrived at the hospital to see my husband eating breakfast: bacon, eggs, grits... etc. I knew we were in the clear when he asked for his cell phone to play games. I also knew we were ok when he looked at me and said, "How are we going to pay for this?"
