Hump Day and Heart Surgery!

On Wednesday, April 13, I saw this while driving down Center Street in Orem. How fitting for a "hump day." Crazy happenings, huh?

I was taking a lunch break from keeping Keenan company in the hospital when I saw the camel.

He had open heart surgery on Monday, the 11, to replace his aortic valve. It's crazy to think that someone as healthy as Keenan had heart surgery. We've known he's needed the surgery for a few months now. We were just waiting for my break so I can help him when he comes home. He's recovering very well because of his healthy body. Modern medicine is a miracle. On the same day Keenan had surgery, uncle Mike was riding his bike and had a shooting pain up his head. He got off his bike and called 911. He was flown to the hospital and had surgery for a brain aneurism. Scary stuff. My sister Kristen said her take-away from Monday was "Stop exercising." Yes, 2 of the 3 most fit people in our family were in the ICU. Scott Sykes was spared any life threatening stuff this week.

By the way, all the staff at Timpanogos Hospital loves Keenan. He's so nice to all of them. The staff is fantastic.
