That's what will be on the front of our half marathon shirts! Karin, do you like that better? : ) I'm sorry to report that the Ogden Half Marathon is now full, so if you didn't register, it's too late. : ( You are still welcome to come and be a screamer at the finish line, if you want. And I'll still get you a shirt if you want! Now you don't have to get up before the sun, like the rest of us. If you're downtown by 9 a.m., it will be (maybe long) before any of us cross the finish line! : ) So, you just let me know and I'll add you to my Finish Line list!
I went in to see the plastic surgeon today because part of my belly incision is red and a little swollen. She felt all around that area and says a Hemotoma has formed. Sounds scary, but it just means that there has been internal bleeding that is "gel-ing". I have to massage it (OUCH!) as much as possible to encourage circulation in that area. Eventually it will break up and get absorbed into my body. She said removing the drains probably caused it (just the thought--Ouch, again!) and as long as I break it up, it will be fine. I think I'll delegate that one to Mat. : ) I can't stand to touch it.
It's dinner time around here, which means my fever is on the way back up. The last two or three days I've been fine all day, then in the evening it goes up to about 100.6, I take Ibuprofen, it goes away, and I'm fine the whole next day, until dinner time. Ugh. Mat's parents have been here much of the day helping with the kids while we went to the doctor, now she's making dinner (smells good!) and they've cleaned a lot! I am so grateful for the help we've received from family and all of you. We're getting through this because of the hours and hours so many people have spent here helping us out. I wish I could say we were through needing help. We're not. It will be a long road yet, but we'll get through it because we've had, literally, dozens of people offer to do whatever it is we need. THANKS!!! We love you!

You can just add my name to that list. I'm ready to pitch in and help out.
Thank you so much for sharing everything with us. I like being able to see how you are doing. You guys are such troopers! What an example you are for the rest of us. Keep on keepin on and know that I think about you and pray for you everyday. Love, Wanda
I do like that saying, but my hubby was looking forward to wearing a shirt to cheer me on that said "I support the Boob Brigade" I thought it was hilarious! I'm glad I took your advice to sign up early, now I just need to make sure I get to the right place on time, with all the necessary gear and the necessary attitude. Keep me on track, will ya??
Good luck and with the healing process and I am glad you have angel helpers.
Love ya tons!

Colleen, I was looking forward to it too! I thought it was hilarious, but I had a couple people that were less than excited (including Isaac!), so we came up with the other. Isaac loves that one! Thanks for your encouragement and love. Maybe if the weather ever clears up, we could arrange a visit? Maybe in March. : ( Talk to you soon!
Love, Kim
I would LOVE that! And maybe by then, I will not have at least one child who has the sniffles or something. We want to be germ free when we do come to visit!
I understand Isaac's viewpoint - I just appreciated the cleverness of the first. Apparently our off sense of humor is what makes us such good friends. I think you've come up with a great alternative. I will be happy to wear whatever you decide to put on them - it will be great!!

Hi Kim - do you "do" esssential oils? I have one (cypress) that helps circulation. Let me know and I will bring you some for your tummy.
Hi Karen!
Is "I don't know" a good answer? I don't know anything about them, but would be willing to try it out. This lump really hurts and I want it to go away! Right now I'm just using baby oil to massage it. I'll try to call you later. THANKS!
I am glad I was not the only one who was "less than excited" about the old logo, thank you so much for changing it. I like the new one so much better! :)
If anyone wants to meet me at the rec center on Saturdays to prepare for the half-marathon, let me know (karincronin@gmail.com). I want to increase my walking distance gradually but Saturdays are the only days I have that much time.
