30 Days Later

I must begin by apologizing to everyone who has been checking this blog. I dropped the ball after we were discharged from the hospital, forgetting that many of you were keenly interested in what was going on as Rosie began her journey to recovery. To all of you I offer my most sincere apologies.

Let’s take a journey through the past thirty days for you.

Rosie and I traveled home to Zephyrhills, FL on the 29th of February after spending a couple of days in St. Augustine wrapping up time with our kids and finalizing some items to finish off Rosie’s business relationship with Gerber. We had a very relaxing and uneventful drive home and began the process of navigating her healing journey to recovery. The support and outpouring of love from each and every one of you began right away. The image above represents a delivery that arrived from one of Rosie’s friends and coworkers.

Inside the box we found handcrafted chicken noodle soup, Asiago rolls and chocolate chip cookies that were just what the doctor ordered from a comfort and healing perspective. Rosie enjoyed the soup and surrendered the bread and cookies to me.

In the coming weeks we received fruit baskets from my coworkers, homemade cookies and wonderful things like neck warmers, blankets, candles and hair ties from cousins and other family members. The cards, calls, well wishes, prayers, and nonstop love have been a comfort and encouragement every step of the way thus far.

Rosie is in good spirits through the discomfort, pain, and life altering changes that she is dealing with daily. I want to thank all of you for keeping her upbeat and moving forward. I will keep up the day-to-day, mundane support while those of you in our circle of family and friends keep her spirits soaring.

God Bless and Keep you. We love you all with our whole heart. Thank you and enjoy this small collection of photos from the past few weeks.

With Love and Warm Regards,

Mr. Rosie The Cleaner

MONDAY MORNING – 0600

Since the accident on Friday Rosie was a bit discombobulated with bodily functions. As of last night everything is functioning properly. It is amazing how we celebrate small things in times of crisis. We are grateful and feeling blessed with the smallest of victories.

Brianna and Preston were here to visit yesterday and that helps keep her spirits up. They are always a source of joy and normalcy.

For now we are on regular meds for pain and things like blood thinner due to some damaged blood vessels and surgery prep. We are expecting feedback today from the neurosurgical team regarding the path forward.

Rosie is in good spirits and I remind her regularly that her job is to be focused on Rosie. I will fight the wars beyond that and we will all share the job as prayer warriors, supporters, and well wishers for her.

She loves all of you and is constantly reminding me to be certain I update this or that person. People are a priority for her. Even in her own crisis.

That’s all I have for now. More once we here from the doctors today. God Bless you all and keep those prayers coming.
