Today is Scott's birthday. We have so much to celebrate! Some people groan at the thought of birthdays and getting older but I think each year that we have on earth with our families is something to cheer about and be thankful for! I've never been more grateful for a birthday than this one for Scott. I really wasn't sure he would make it to 38 early this year.
Last year on Scott's birthday we had to be at the hospital early in the morning for Scott to have a hernia repair - minor surgery. It was a LONG day but he came home that evening. It was a pretty crappy birthday! For the next 3 days after the surgery Scott felt absolutely awful! He hardly moved. Finally, he was feeling so bad that he went to the emergency. We found out his kidneys were shutting down due to low cardiac output and he was put on very serious IV heart medication. That was day one of 6 months in the hospital! The hernia operation was "the apple that tipped the cart" for Scott's heart. So every birthday without a surgery is a good one now!
I think I'll always be grateful and happy for each birthday from now on. I only have to consider the alternative - NOT living another year.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY SCOTT! I'm so happy you're still here!
