A short update...

It is somehow 1 AM right now, although I'm not sure how in the world it could possibly be that late. Anyway, as a result, I am going to make this a quick post.

There was no way for Mike to try and kill my mom again today because she is on 100% room air today! Huzzah!

She had a visit from one of her best friends in high school, whom she hasn't seen in almost 30 years. On top of that, her cardiologist from Burlington made a special call to her cardiologist in Davenport to check on her progress. The Davenport doctor asked her exactly "who she was down there." It's unusual for a doctor to follow up personally on a patient that's been transfered. Once the reins change hands, that's sort of it. Out of sight, out of mind. Dr. Lazar (Burlington cardiologist) calling Davenport to check on her made her feel pretty spiffy. She also found out that the hospital in Burlington is holding her job for three months in the hopes that when they re-evaluate her heart functions down the road she'll be deemed fit enough to come back to work. It's one thing to retire and another entirely to have retirement thrust upon you, but why worry about something that you have no control over, right?

Well, I'm off to bed. Take care.

Miracles happen every day and Linda is living proof of that. I am ecstatic that she is recovering so well and so rapidly. Tell her to keep up the good work so she can hurry home to her puppies. And I at this end will continue to pray for her speedy recovery.
