Surgery for Tree

Tree had surgery today. Everything went fine and she is recovering now. It was minor surgery--in and out of the hospital in the same day. Tree is of course in terrible pain and is currently drugged up to the gills so that she can sleep. It took some serious maneuvering to get her comfortable. Hopefully she will be better off tomorrow.

Our friends who live just down the street from the hospital were kind enough to babysit Spark for most of the day so that I could be with Tree in the hospital. When Tree was in the OR or other times when I couldn't be with her, I would run back to take care of Spark, feeding him lunch or putting him down for a nap.

By the time we collected him at the end of the day, he was seriously starved for our attention. I had to keep him up an extra hour just holding and cuddling him so that he could get enough "us time" for the day to consider going to sleep.

I'm not sure how I'm going to take care of both Tree and Spark at the same time tomorrow. Neither one is going to be satisfied with only partial attention. I've got my work cut out for me. ;)
