                 It's a wonderful life.

   This is my first blog post and as many of you know my life has changed dramatically in the past two months. Two months ago my husband was electrocuted and in an instant our lives were forever changed. 

   John lost his big toe and part of his second toe on his left foot. His right foot was

completely disfigured and bones and tendons were exposed. His stay at the hospital was a month long. When John came home life changed even more. I became a 24/7 caregiver. That included dressing changes, antibiotic administrating, showering, toileting, and everyday tasks. That all seems overwhelming. Honestly every second makes you feel unprepared and incompetent. But everyday goes a little smoother. 
       
   Yesterday was another big change, (below the knee amputation of his right leg); but God knows what we need and gave us peace about the decision we had to make. 
It's going to be a life full of changes. 
This is our new life and it is beyond  wonderful.
