Work and Recovery

Things are hectic at the beach house. Not out of control, I must say, just hectic. Trying to get a grip on the "schedule" and perform service calls so my return to Baptist Desoto Hospital will happen in a timely fashion. Please contact me if you have pending tasks that need to be addressed. The new theme for a few days is 'around the clock' so don't worry about putting anything off. Let's get stuff done. Again, do not hesitate to call. Even if my presence is needed at the hospital there are very capable techs standing by that will help.

Mom Update (via brother Dan): Mother sat in a chair and ate breakfast this morning. She is very alert and acts like someone that had heart surgery yesterday. There is some pain, but this is to be expected. They are working on alleviating the pain which will work to accelerate the speedy recovery we desire. The ICU nurses are just awesome. I know I am waxing mushy towards gratitude, but your well wishes and encouragement mean so much to the whole family. Everyone has been super and understanding in our time of need. These have been blessed days.

"Constant attention by a good nurse may be just as important as a major operation by a surgeon."
