Grandma Olsen

Another surgery in the family :( Grandma Olsen (my mom) had surgery this morning. Although it makes us all nervous when anyone has to have surgery, this one will hopefully be a good thing. Mom has been in pain forever it seems like and she has kind of been getting the run-around from doctors until now when she was finally told she had bone spurs, which was causes a pinched nerve. They had to go in through the throat and kind of move everything aside to go in and fix everything. It sounds so weird and scary that they actually have to cut your throat open!!! Yikes!!!
Me, Allissa, Colton and the babies went down to keep my dad company and to see my mom when she was finished with the surgery. She was really out of it and seemed to be in alot of pain. It is so hard seeing my mom like that! It was just a few weeks ago, Bruce's mom was in the hospital. I'm hoping after this, that everyone can stay well for a while.

She should be able to go home tomorrow and actually get to rest. While you're in the hospital they are in checking on you so often that you barely get to sleep at all.
