For those of you who don’t know–but I’m sure that you all do–my mom has had triple bypass surgery. I have been updating people by email, but I thought it might be a good idea to do a post as well. She was in the hospital 11 days. She would have been home in 10, but the pulmonary specialist decided not to come in to discharge her until the next day. She is doing really well.  Last week we stayed with her round the clock, but this week she has been on her own during the day when she has been here (I say when she has been here because she has had two doctors’ appointments this week already and has another one tomorrow). We are taking turns staying with her overnight. She saw the surgeon and the cardiologist. She still has some fluid on her lung, so we are coming to Lexington tomorrow to get that x-rayed and drawn off. She also has to have some blood tests. They seem  satisfied with her progress.  I think she will feel even better once she  can breathe a little better. The physical therapist is coming to the house; she has been  doing exercises and going on walks to the mailbox, etc.  She is still using the walker–it’s kind of a security thing. She is still a little worried about her throat because it still hurts–wonders if that is normal.  The doctors don’t seem to be concerned. Her incisions are all healing up very nicely. She’s a real trooper and is making every effort to make her comeback sooner rather than later. A real believer in the power of prayer, she is so grateful for the prayers of those who have offered them for her. So am I.
