Brad's SURGERY!

Brad has his surgery yesterday morning. We were prepared for about a 2-3 hour surgery that was finished in an hour and a half!!!!! WHOOPEE! OF course, that is in part b/c Brad is so fit and trim!!!!!!!!!!! They gave us one of those PAGERS like they have in resturants and it was so funny when it went off---we would have to go to the desk for updates!  Anyway, the doctor (Matt Davis who is sooooo sweet BTW) told us that Brad's hip was "just gone". He said he couldn't believe it and was so glad Brad went ahead when he did to get it replaced. When Brad was in the recovery room he opened his eyes and looked at Nat. She said, "What can I get you???" and he said, "a kiss". That's just Brad! SO SO SO precious. Never thinking of himself.......He did great, had a little too much pain medicine and was zonked and they had to reverse that but he's doing fine now. Once, when he opened his eyes, he started to cry. He said, "I can't believe my hip isn't hurting!" God love him. He has been dealing with that constant pain so long and now the hip wasn't hurting!! Now, the INCISION is a different story! It HURTS! (He said he knows how MIMI felt now!) but he is a trooper! ........Here's a few shots from yesterday! BTW, he is poking Natalie's belly button in recovery, we were trying to get him awake! HAHAHA THe first pix are on the way to the hospital and the rest are "in order" of the day's events! (that is Jack Hinnen, our minister from RIVERCHASE CONTEMP. Service: (SonDay Live): goofing off with Natalie in the waiting room and then, today, Katie taking HER BOY to school. We are fixing to go see Brad! Gotta Roll! THANKS SO MUCH for EVERYTHING! For the calls/cards/food! We love you all! By the way, Katie saie he was a PERFECT ANGEL yesterday!
