Poor little Alexis. I guess it's true what they say -- the genes will out! As with my grandmother, mother, all three siblings and niece, her gallbladder has gone wonky, and is having a coming out party in just a few hours. That used to mean a week in the hospital and six weeks to recover. Fortunately for her, it's now a day surgery, but still requires at least a week of recovery before returning to the workplace. We'll be heading over to Austin shortly for her surgery, and will bring her home with us so we can keep an eye on her for a couple of days, then she can go home and do a bit of work from there for a few more days.
Shortly after she leaves, son Austin and his puppy dog Guinness will be showing up. He has just accepted a job with a company in Austin, and starts work there on Monday. Unfortunately, his sweetheart Areej is a teacher, and must finish out the semester in Houston, plus they need to find someone to sublet that house they just leased after she leaves. In the meantime, we get to enjoy Austin's company on weeknights for the next few months, and spoil his puppy rotten all day long!
I couldn't be more pleased with how strong and independent my kids turned out to be, about the wonderful partners they have met, and that they both have work they are passionate about. Still, a momma misses her babies, and sometimes, well, it's kinda nice to be needed!
