Good thoughts for K

Our K had an emergency gastrotomy in the wee hours of last night. The surgeon cut open her stomach to remove deer bones that she found at the lion kill carcass. He also dealt with bones in her intestines.

Her surgery went as well as possible, and she'll probably get released from the hospital just in time for my surgery. Life around here hasn't been serene and won't be for a while.

K and I will be recovering from our major surgeries together. Your good thoughts for my little girl would be very much appreciated.

  5. Hence the old phrase 'it never rains but it pours'. It's strange thing about blogging that people we've never met can, and will be, so much in our thoughts.

  8. Woo, K, we thought the biggest challenge of that kill was the huge kitty cat watching you - not the kill itself. Recover quickly girl and know that there are lots of Herd paws crossed for you - and your mom - in surgical week.

  22. Hey there KB
    Life is never simple - always extreme it seems. We are really sorry to hear about K! What a terrible trauma it must be for you all.
    We will be thinking of you both and saying prayers, holding thumbs and generally just trying to uplift you at this immensely difficult time.
    When life is taken out of our controlling hands, its best to just go with the flow and to remember to just "Be gentle on yourself"!
    With all our love
