Mom's Recovery Continues At Home

Hello all! Mom has been home for two days now and is glad to be able to recover in comfort.  He recovery continues to go well.  This is a slow process, but mom is one of the MOST patient people I know! She continues to take things slow while waiting for a follow up with her cardiologist next Tuesday.  Prayerfully, mom will be able to come off of some of the new cardiac meds that she was prescribed due to her arrythmias in the hospital.

Home health care has been arranged to visit a couple of times a week to help with anything that needs to be done (dressing changes, flushing of the feeding tube etc.) Physical Therapy will also be visiting her a couple of times a week to assist her in gaining some of her strength back.

Unfortunately, mom has developed a little bit of a cold which has been making her a little more tired than usual.  This too shall pass. We pray that it does not develop into anything beyond that of the common cold.

Mom is scheduled to follow up with the surgeon on February 21st. If at that time he is pleased with her progress and eating, he will remove the feeding tube!

As always, thanks for the prayers, thoughts, and well wishes!!! We will keep you posted!!

Will
