Surgeries & Tornadoes Galore.

The past few days have been interesting to say the least. Sunday night around 10:30 Alberto jumps out of bed and yells from the bathroom that I need to take him to the ER. For a second I thought it was a joke until I saw the seriousness in his face. One of his previous injuries from the Army flared up and caused some internal bleeding. It all happened so fast, no warning at all. Monday afternoon he had surgery. He had a bit of a complication last night and is doing as well as could be expected. While he was in recovery some pretty serious weather started happening. Luckily we were in the room that had the only TV so I was able to know what was happening. 39 tornadoes hit Oklahoma and two came way too close for comfort to where we were. Gabriel was at a friends house and was in an underground shelter thank goodness. And the recovery area at the hospital is pretty much underground too, so it was nice to know we were all as safe as we could be. When we got home the only damage to our house were the backyard fences. They are completely torn down. In my friends neighborhood they had hail the size of grapefruits if not bigger and got some holes in their roof. See picture below. It is INSANE!!! Oh, the joys of living in Oklahoma.

Also, today one of our great friends and one of the best guys I know had a very big deal surgery. We just got off the phone with him and everything went well. He sounds good and seems to be in good spirits. We love him very much and hopefully soon we will be able to take a trip up to see him.
