I'm Home

Well I am home from the hospital. I came home on Saturday afternoon. The surgery went well and I am feeling well. They had to take a little more than we had originally thought, but all is well. I am now at home resting and taking it easy. Ashley is here and helping out a lot. Thank you to everyone for your well wishes and thoughts during the last week. It was greatly appreciated. I will be sure to fill you all in a little more later on.

We are Finally Getting Better

Well the month of February was a sick one for the Bernhardt Family. I feel that I have had a sick child home with me almost every day. I guess when you have four kids that is what happens. The germs just seem to keep getting passed around. Todd started it all by getting strep for his birthday and then it all went downhill from there.

Well we were all well for vacation week two weeks ago, and then Eric had the stomach bug last week and then Todd had it over the weekend. So I guess Todd started it and ended it. Everyone was back at school today and everyone seems to be healthy. Can I just say that I am sick of the snow as well. We had beautiful weather all weekend. The kids were riding their bikes and we took long walks. Then we woke up this morning to it snowing!!!! I was not a happy camper. I will be very happy when spring finally arrives.

Well I am hoping that March is a little better for us. My niece Ashley is going to be coming to stay with us for a week at the end of March. She will be here to help with the kids while I am recovering from surgery. Yes, I finally have to have surgery for my Crohn's. I will be going in on the 19th and they will be removing about 9inches of infected intestinal tract. I should be in the hospital for a few days and then have to have help at home for a week. I will let you all know how it goes when I am back home. I am sure that I will have the time to write on the blog since I will just be taking it easy for a week.

THINK SPRING!!!!!!!!
