my mom is doing well. thanks for your thoughtsa and prayers.

my dad has told me that they ‘didn’t have to stop her heart’ or anything else unusual. did that scare the shit out of me or what? i didn’t expect to hear that. i guess sometimes, they have to purposely stop a heart during a bypass.

scary to hear though. especially when the patient is your mom!

my eldest sister made it down there tonight. i guess i’ll let her off the hook for being a slacker. my two sisters only live an hour or two from the hospital (provident, in waco, texas. enough with the jokes.) and hadn’t made it down yet.

i’m flying home this friday. i wanted to wait til she gets out of the icu and into a private room. i wanted to make sure that i got a chance to spend a little time with her when i got there. no sitting in the waiting room for an occasional peak in the icu at my sleeping mom. if all goes ok, i should get to help cart her home monday or tuesday.

i’m looking forward to that.
