Pearce Pastures: Where did I go?

[jodief100]

for yoru son.

for the hay. we got lucky. about a 30 mile radius around us had plenty, outside of that was too dry.

That is awesome, that you found such good hay at such a price!!!!
I am spoiled, because we hay about 400 acres of land every year, and sell most of it, but I get to pick the cream of the crop so to say, to keep for my sheep and horses!!

Sorry for your son Pearce. Everything will turn out just fine. You've got lots of people here praying for you and your family.
btw good for you on telling them NOW. You rock.

Also that's great news. In the areas where hay is scarce the price can be a backbreaker. Luckily we have alot of hay here and for cheap too. Record rain year for us.

How did the surgery go, thinking about ya today

 

[Pearce Pastures]

Home and kids are napping. No surgery today.

We went to the office and met with the surgeon (he was so thorough and had a great bedside manner). He took a look at him, talked to me about what he thought and then called in a second doctor to get confirmation on what he thought. So here it is...

He does have a hernia and also has that communicating hydrocele thing going on and it will need to be repaired. However, he also has a partially undescended testicle! Not sure how that was missed over the years of check-ups and whatnot but I guess in way, his hernia was a good thing since without it, they might not have caught the other issue in time to save it. Doing the other repair requires the assistance of second surgeon who specializes in pediatric urology so they are scheduling up a date for both surgeons to operate at the same time so that Elliott only has to go under once. I feel pretty calm about it all surprisingly. I'll be a wreck on surgery day but he will be okay and for now, he is acting like his normal self.

Thank you. Nice to have some support here.

Oh so nice. Got a barn full of hay and some happy critters. I gave them a few of the busted bales after we finished tossing and loading the loft and they were going crazy for it. Very nice stuff, barely any thick pieces and they were huge bales. And now, some fried chicken liver, salad, and time to put my feet up.
