It's a thank you God day!

Today was one of those days when you pray several times, "Please keep your arms around my loved one, God  & make sure everything turns out okay." In my case that was my daughter, Stephanie and I prayed that many times today.  Routine surgeries like a hysterectomy {when they happen to other people} really don't seem like much of a crisis, but when it's somebody you love having general anesthesia, surgery and everything that goes along with that....it seems like a really BIG deal and your mind takes you to extreme places. Thankfully, God was with us today as Stephanie had her surgery....everything went well and tonight when I called to check on her....she was resting comfortably...with a morphine drip, I might add....but comfortably just the same.

Thanks to Mary & Joel, her brother and sister-in-law....we were able to be with her in the pre-op and right after surgery....it's great to know the right people in the right places. Look how "official" they look with their badges and all. Thanks guys.

Knowing she was okay, I left the hospital and drove up to Anaheim Glover Stadium, to watch Tyler play in the County All Star Baseball Game. North All Stars vs South All Stars. He was the short stop for the South and after the game {he hit a stand-up triple} there was an awards ceremony honoring two players. Tyler got "player with the most hustle" award, big trophy and total recognition among All Star players, fans and MLB scouts. It was a great honor. This was the only game I can remember that I was the only Rahmatulla fan in the stands. I got a photo of Tyler with his trophy...he was happy but worried about his mom and was on his way to the hospital to see her at 10:30 tonight after the game.

Again, thank you God for all the blessings in my life!
