We were able to bring my DH, Tim, home from the hospital at 12:30 p.m. on Christmas Eve day. Our daughter, Audra, and her family arrived at 1:00 p.m. to have our Christmas celebration. I took Audra and our two granddaughters, Heather and Amy, to pick up our puppy at the breeder. She is an 8 week old bichon frise, and she is just precious. After much debate on her name, I decided to call her Molly. The name Dixie was in contention, but we decided that we didn't want her to remind us of my DH's appendix operation and the Christmas that wasn't much of a Christmas.
Tim is doing as well as can be expected after an open appendectomy. He is on antibiotics for the next 10 days and pain meds as needed. His follow up to have his staples removed is in two weeks. He is still on a soft diet, and we have to introduce food back gradually. He does not have much of an appetite, so it's been soup, jello, eggs, mashed potatoes and toast. Tim is also diabetic so it's a real balancing act. At this point it looks like we will be canceling our New Year's Eve cruise.
Now on to the good news.... Molly slept the whole night through in her crate and we didn't hear a thing out of her. What a blessing! I take her to our vet tomorrow for her puppy check up. She is absolutely adorable and we are really enjoying her.
Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas!
