whew....
This was an emotional weekend....
Phone call Tues. that Jons granddaddy was put in the hospital for heart tests....would keep me updated.
Tests come back that open heart surgery is needed for a triple by-pass. wow.
I take a paid day Wed. to be at the hospital all day with Jon and the family. Surgery is scheduled for Thursday. Wed. night we find out that surgery has been rescheduled for Friday morning.
I take a paid day Friday to be at the hospital again with Jon, because I've noticed that between Wed. and Fri. he's been trying really hard to keep it together. We got there to see him before they took him back and then he was gone from about 10-3. We got to see him at 5:30 for the first time, and he was still knocked out, but just seeing him and kissing on him, knowing that he came out of it o.k was comforting for everyone.
I've never seen Jon like that before and it sucked that I couldn't do anything to bring him out of it. I knew that all I could do was be there for him to cry on and for comfort.
We went back Saturday morning and got to see him awake and it was such a miracle. He completely skipped the special unit floor and went straight to a private room, which is a BIG DEAL and shows how well he was doing.
After that loooong day, Jon and I had to say "goodbye" because he left for school Sunday morning. I know it's not far away, but its' still gonna be an adjustment to not see him throughout the week, etc....He will come home on the weekends when he can, but thast not anytime soon, due to meetings this weekend he has to be at. Distance makes the heart grow fonder right? :-)
