Thank you all for the prayers, they definitely were answered!!!!!
After numerous tests they determined that there was no further damage to my mom's heart. In fact, they think that it was so mild that if it had happened just a few years ago, they would not have been able to detect it. They've made so many advances in their tests over the last few years. Mom has been home since Tuesday and getting a lot of rest.
Cheryl, we've been told that 9 bypasses is the limit. (for the uninformed, not 9 surgeries, but 9 veins bypassed). My mom has had 2 surgeries with 7 veins and they told her on the last one that they would not be able to do any more, even though she's not up to the 9 limit. I don't know why they cut it off at 9 but that's what they've told us. Don't want to scare you, but maybe you should discuss it with John's doctor. Maybe John's case is different?
Debi, thanks for the picture. I have a similar one but mine didn't come out as good. I also have one of Todd's son Destin feeding Trevoy. On a sad note, Geddings, the server pictured, is no longer with
DCL. I don't have all the details but I believe he has hired an attorney so it's not pretty.
To everyone else, let me take this opportunity to thank this wonderful group of people for getting me through a very difficult year. Thank you for the laughs, the tears, the drinks, the games, and the prayers. I love you all! Happy New Year.
Thanks stating how we are all feeling!!!
