Week One -- Whew

Mom just passed her week one milestone yesterday after the double bypass surgery.  

This morning, when I checked in on her she was talking on the phone, and a little while later when I checked back in, she was sitting up in bed. 

That's a new one, because until just I guess a day or so ago, she couldn't sit up in bed without one of us pulling her up, so the pain from the breastbone incision must be getting at least a little better.

She's also eating very well -- last night, she had some chocolate ice cream to top it all off!

My sister Khristol has been helping out during the days while I work remotely for IBM in the motor home, and especially covering while Dad runs into town for errands, groceries, etc.

Very busy at work, so will make this dispatch short.  But suffice it to say Mom's doing very well, and she very much appreciates hearing from all her high school buddies, chat friends, and others who send along their well wishes.

Finally, her good friend Linda will be in our prayers today as she undergoes her own surgery.  We will have our fingers crossed and you in our thoughts today!
