Road Trip

Right now I'm in the car with Willis for our road trip to Louisiana. We just stopped in Atlanta for a little food and we are back on the road. We are headed down for Ashley and TJ's wedding. We are both in the wedding so tomorrow will be a busy day of helping with last minute details. Ashely and TJ have been engaged for 2 years now and we are sooo excited that the time is finally here. I will definately post pics when we get back :-)

Surgery, Birthday and the 4th!

Busy 4th of July weekend in the Whitley household. On Friday the 3rd I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted. Very easy surgery, no complications quite honestly I don't remember any of it nor was I in pain at all that day. Mom had come up for the weekend to help me and Willis while I recovered. We had sure heard some horror stories of wisdom teeth. On the ride home from Charlotte Willis blacked out while driving. It definatley scared us all. We are so thankful that mom was with us and able to help us get the car off the road safely. God was definately looking out for us. We got Willis some Coke and a Honey Bun and he immediately started to feel better. He had skipped breakfast that morning and we believe low blood sugar was the culprit. He did go to the doctor and that was his diagnosis as well. The rest of the day we all hung out at the house and even went for a stroll in the neighborhood.
Saturday the 4th was mom's Birthday. I woke up feeling fine and not much swelling so we decided to have a cookout. Daddy was off work so he came up and our good friends Ashley and TJ came down. I wasn't able to enjoy the burgers or hot dogs but mom did make some of her potatoe salad and it was awesome! It was a lot of fun having everyone over and I'm thankful that I felt up to it. Here are some pics from the cookout.

Abby loved getting to play outside

Sunday I woke up a little more swollen and not up to doing much. Lot's of laying around. Late that afternoon I started to have a migraine and nausea which lasted through Monday evening. So Monday I basically layed around all day. Tuesday I woke up feeling fine. I had to go to my follow up appointment with Dr. Marashi. He told me everything was healing great...Yay! I have not had to take the strong pain medication since monday morning now I'm just taking some ibeuprofen as needed and no more nausea thank God :) Dr. Marashi did tell me to take another day off work so I am home today. I will go back to work tomorrow but at least I am able to eat now. The next couple of weeks are going to be busy as well with Ashley and TJ getting married...so excited!!! I'll keep you posted...
