Field trip to the nursery

Second day home post-surgery…

Field trip to the nursery. Emily is so thrilled that I made them stop so I could take a pic. Ha ha…

We accomplished a lot around the house before Tony’s surgery, but the garden wasn’t one of them because the weather didn’t cooperate. While we were gone, Johanna started preparing the soil. I sure missed having Tony’s help as I worked on it today. I was glad that he was willing and able to pick out some plants for us. Gardening is one of those things we have always enjoyed doing together.

Another good milestone today… we taped a plastic bag over the PEG and Tony was able to shower. (Up until now it’s been sponge baths.) When he was done he sighed heavily. I asked if he was okay and he said it was a sigh of contentment because it felt so good. 😌

Want to help Tony?

Gifts through Venmo go straight to our family and help with Tony's ongoing care and trips to Salt Lake City. Thank you for walking this road with us.

Going through something hard? Give your family one place to follow along.

Telling hard news again on every call and every text wears you out. That's why we made this blog: one place for Tony's story, updates by email, and a simple way for friends to help. I built it with HBA's Funnel Builder by typing what I wanted in plain words. If your family is walking through something hard, you can have a place like this too.
