2013 has been a CRAAAAZY year for the Mertins family. Our year started with Chris turning 40 and then a week later ... he ended up in the hospital for 10 days. Chris has battled diverticulitis for 6 years and this year it got the best of him. For all that know Chris - you know how stubborn he is. The MD that met us in the ER at the end of January told him that he was septic and needed to be operated on immediately. Chris said he wanted to wait it out and try to heal on his own then have surgery in April. To the doctor's surprise (mine too), Chris did it. In late April, Chris had a bowel reconstruction and has a clear bill of health now. This has been a crazy year so far. I am ready to update this blog with pictures of the fun times that have transpired since January.
Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers. We are truly blessed to have such wonderful family & friends around us.
