Well, my mom has been at home since Friday and all is well. My brother left back to Louisana this morning at around Five A.M. He was a big help during all this and although we all wish he would have stayed longer I am so glad he stayed as long as he did. Mom…

Today, at around 3 P.M. the doctor sent her home. My truck is the lowest of all of our vehicles (cept for the Corvette) so I picked her up and drove her home. Which was great because I was the one that dropped her off in the first place.She is very happy to be home.…

This morning at about noon they moved my mom out of ICU and into a regular room. This was great because we were no longer on a visiting schedule or restricted to four visitors. Shortly after being moved in her new room, my mom wanted to lay down because she had been sitting up for…

Well, after waiting many many hours for my moms Heart Cath to be performed we got the results. It turns out that she has four arteries that are not doing so well. The doctor could have used balloons to fix them but he said that that would not be the best thing to do. That…

My mom had been experience some chest pains and shortness of breath but she had been very hesitant about going to the doctor, like most of the people in my family, including me, but she finally went and her doctor sent her to the hospital to run some tests. They did some stress tests, ekg’s…
