Home from Charleston

Well we are home from Charleston and Hunter's surgery. Everything went wonderful. The doctor said that it wasn't as bad as he thought that it was going to be and they didn't put a plate in or do a bone graph. Hunter is VERY disappointed that he doesn't have the titanium plate in his head.

We arrived in Charleston Tuesday night really late. We got two hotel rooms since our cousin, Scott, and his four kids were meeting us there. They didn't arrive until around 5:00 a.m. so we didn't get to see them until after the surgery. We left for the hospital at 5:30 a.m., checked in, Hunter put to sleep (which was really funny), waited around during the surgery, went to Hunter in recovery, and then left the hospital at 11:00 a.m. They discharged him that quick. Amazing!

They did send the tumor to pathology for testing, but the doctor said that he is quite sure that it was plain and simply a growth and nothing more. It hadn't gone through the bone like he thought so instead of all that hardware in his head he just has a divit. You can see where his skin goes in. Yuck!

After being released from the hospital we went back to the hotel and relaxed the rest of the day. On Thursday we headed back to North Myrtle Beach with Scott and family in tow. Scott rented a 3 bedroom 3 bath ocean front condo for....get this...$108.00 per night. Can you believe how cheap it is? Since it was big enough for us all our family spent the night over there last night and we will again tonight. Ronnie and Scott are going golfing tomorrow morning so I am going to try and figure out something to do with the kids. It has gotten rainy and chilly out so I don't know what we will find to do.

Besides Hunter's successful surgery another great thing happened today. English came home!!!!! She will be here until January 3rd. I haven't seen her in so long! We will be sure to take pictures and post them in a couple of days.

This is a great Christmas. Hunter is fine, English is home, and we get to spend Christmas with my parents. If you haven't heard this lately...God is so good!

If I don't get to post again for a few day know that I hope you have a wonderful and blessed Christmas.

Love to you all!
