Sunday Salon is hosted by Deb at Readerbuzz
It’s Monday! What Are You Reading? is hosted by Kathryn at Book Date
The last eleven days have been a lot. Wyatt had three brain surgeries within seven days, with lots of recovering in between. He is sitting here now eating breakfast and talking like the chatterbox that he is, and I couldn’t be happier to hear it. I posted about his surgeries here and here if you want to read about this amazing kid of mine.
Reading:
I am reading The House in the Cerulean Sea, although admittedly I haven’t had much opportunity to read lately. What I have read so far though I love. I am also reading The Wild Robot to Wyatt at night before bed.

Book Review: Emily Wilde’s Encyclopaedia of Fairies
Wednesday (I think) Coffee Catch Up
A Little Window Shopping Serotonin Boost – Garden Edition
Wednesday (I think) Coffee Catch Up – Part 2
Watching:
Not a lot. Billy and I haven’t been able to concentrate well lately so we are rewatching When Calls the Heart. It is just a really easy show to watch. Before the surgeries we had started Ted Lasso though and were loving it!
And that is it from our corner of the world! How is it going in your world?
Three surgeries in seven days is a lot. I’m glad that Wyatt is recovering well from these. Talking up a storm is always a good sign!
I know you haven’t had time to do much besides focus on your son. Sending good thoughts and prayers for Wyatt and your family.
He is a wonder. He is practically back to his normal little self. Lol. Loud and singing and dancing and being silly.
Thanks Deb.
My second child was in and out of the hospital for the first 2 years of his life so I know how emotional that is. Glad Wyatt is doing better. Praying for him and the family.
Thank you Vicki. It really is so hard, isn’t it? Just your heart laid open.
He is doing better and better every day. 🙂
It was the hardest thing I’ve ever been through. And they never could tell me what was wrong with him. He finally just got better, without the drs. helpbut with a ton of praying!
Oh my gosh!! That is awful!!! How absolutely scary!
That is a lot of surgeries in a short time. I’m so glad he’s doing well. I also watch familiar shows when I can’t concentrate. It’s Gilmore Girls, usually.
Yes! I love Gilmore Girls too! That’s another comfort show for me. He is doing better and better every day. 🙂
That’s a lot of surgery on a special body part (Is the brain an organ?). You deserve an easy week!
That is a good question! I must google that! It was definitely a lot. Wyatt is doing better and better every day. 🙂
You have had a very hectic and scary week! Hopefully things will smooth out and you will find time to enjoy family and books.
Thank you Laurel-Rain. We are starting to settle back down over here thankfully. 🙂
Such an emotional week! Sheesh! Sure hope things calm down a bit! At least you’re in the middle of one good book – loved Cerulean Sea and hope you do too.

Thanks Terrie!
And yes, I am loving Cerulean Sea. It is just the book I need right now!
I’m sorry to hear that your son had to have so many surgeries in such a short time. That’s probably so scary. I hope he’s recovering well! Have a great week!
It was very scary and a lot to take in. And even harder for him – although he is bouncing back and getting better and better every day. 🙂
You guys have all been through so much! Continued prayers as the recovery continues. Take care.
Thank you, I appreciate the prayers for my little guy!
I am so glad to hear Wyatt’s surgeries went well and he is doing better. I hope that continues to be the case! I can only imagine how frightening this all has been for you all.
The House in the Cerulean Sea sounds so good! I have heard such good things about Klune’s books and hope to read them.
I hope you have a good week! Take care.
Thank you. This has been extremely stressful and scary! But Wyatt is a wonder, and is doing better and better every day.
I know! That is how I feel too. I have heard so much about Klune and I am glad I am finally getting to his books. I am enjoying Cerulean Sea so far!
Wow, went and read your updates, praying for you all! When Calls the Heart is a great show to watch and relax with! Have a great week!
Thank you Cindy. And it is! I am such a Heartie. And my husband is a trooper because he watches with me, and it is not quite his speed. Lol.
So many surgeries in a short period of time. I’m glad Wyatt is doing well. I hope you have a great week.
Yes, it was so scary! He is doing better and better every day. 🙂
Oh my you have been through the wringer! And your son sounds like such a trooper. Sending lots of good vibes and prayers for Wyatt and your family
Thank you Greg. It’s been intense around here. Wyatt is definitely a trooper!
Wyatt is amazing!!! So glad to hear he’s talking up a storm. Hang in there, Mom!!!
He really is! He is talking and playing and pretty close to his normal little self. 🙂
Wow you had a crazy week. I hope Wyatt is feeling much better and that you are too.
Anne – Books of My Heart This is my Sunday Post
It was a rough one for sure. He is doing well, better every day!
So sorry your family has to go through all this. I hope Wyatt feels much better now and that you can relax after all the stress
Thank you. He is doing well – I think he bounced back quicker than his father and I did. Lol.
Wow! That was a lot. I’m glad Wyatt is back on the mend and I’m sending him and you all the best wishes.
My comfort show is Call the Midwife — which probably wouldn’t work for everyone. Watching strong women care for strong women works really well for me.
A few of my friends love that show! I have heard such great things about it.
And thank you Joy. He is acting so much more like Wyatt, every day. 🙂
I hope Wyatt continues to improve every day. I really hope you and Billy can begin to wind down from such a traumatic time soon. I cannot begin to imagine your feelings. As for comfort shows, it would probably be a baking show because you just have to glance up every once in a while and at the end to see the finished product!

Thank you Marsha. It’s been intense. Wyatt is pretty much back to Wyatt but I am so jumpy and nerved up most of the time right now.
And oh yes!! The British Baking Show is another one of my comfort shows!! I don’t watch many others but that one is a definite cozy hug.
Oh my. Three brain surgeries in seven day! Bless your heart. I can’t imagine how stressful that would be as a mom. I’m happy to hear that Wyatt is awake and chattering away. It must be music to your ears.
The House in the Cerulean Sea seems like the perfect read for a time like this. I described it to someone as a hug. I hope Wyatt continues to make good progress!
It is. While we were in the hospital and he was so still and quiet it was so hard, because he is a constant chatterbox, and so loud normally. It was terrifying. So I am happy to hear him!
It is absolutely the perfect book right now! The book I needed. I love little Theodore!
After the last week you and your family has had you need to do some rewatching and hiding under blankets! Between all the stress and people that’s just too much. I’m so glad Wyatt is doing better and hope you are all getting lots of rest and gentle days.
Thank you Katherine. I was going to start school this week, but I am thinking..maybe one more day off won’t hurt.
