Mom Update

I cannot say how much I appreciate all the kind thoughts and prayers from you. Thank you!

Mom is, as I write, in the catherization lab, undergoing the procedure. I spent the afternoon with her - she was fine, except that she was hungry (they didn't let her eat today.) Her cardiologist said that she had a blockage.

She's in Robert Wood Johnson General Hospital, which does 50 of these procedures a day. Which means she's in the right place.

I spoke to my brother.

The procedure went well. One artery was 75% blocked - there's a stent there now. Others were 30% and they're not worried about them. She'll spend the night there, of course, and be home tomorrow, to go on bed rest.

I'm exhausted. Utterly exhausted. I'm scared about a three hour drive I have to make tomorrow - or maybe I'll push it off until Thursday when the weather is better.

(But I got to meet my stepfather's granddaughter Nikki and her very sweet girlfriend, who came to visit my mother. Because I have a wonderful mother whom everyone loves. And I liked meeting these two very much.)
