Holden and Phoebe

Hey everyone, Mom says to tell you that Holden's surgery went really well today. She just talked to Dr. Chanoit and he was able to remove Holden's enlarged parathyroid gland and flush the stones out of his bladder. Holden is in recovery right now and is doing fine. I was hoping that meant my big brother would be coming home, but Mom says they need to keep a close eye on his blood calcium levels, so he won't be discharged until Friday or Saturday. :( I miss him a lot and keep looking out the window for him. Nothing wrong with being hopeful, right? Mom and Dad have taken pity on my poor, lonely state and tomorrow they are going to let me spend the day with my boyfriend, Otis. Thank goodness, because being stuck at home with Mom while she recovers from her icky cold is B-O-R-I-N-G. I need someone to pounce on!
