Hi everyone!
Thought I would update you on my absence....
Around 10:00 pm last night DH - John had surgery to drain 30 ounces of fluid from around his heart and remove/repair a bit of the wall around the heart. He is doing well considering.
He is still in recovery with a drain and will be moved to intensive care. There was no sign of pneumonia nor lung problems although the fluid may have come from a viral infection of some sort.
It's likely that he will be in the hospital until Thursday or Friday.
And to think his doctors were continuing to prescribe antibiotics for two weeks without an x-ray which would have shown the enlarged heart
As the surgeon said, we would have ended up at the hospital in an ambulance soon anyway because he couldn't breathe at all or worse......
I might be on the DIS later to update all but greatly appreciate the well wishes and prayers!

Willow,
My husband (who is a huge Joss Whedon fan) just informed me he wants to name our future daughter Willow. I am not pregnant yet and cannot even be sure it will be a daughter if and when I get pregnant. We are hoping anyway. My sons are Xander (from Buffy) and Connor (from Angel). I've never known anyone named Willow. The name sounds pretty, but I just want to know what you think of your name if you do not mind sharing. We were talking about Siena for years then he just hit me with the change. I am seriously considering Willow now.
Thank you so much focusondisney and Princess!
We will trust our instincts so much more from now on!
I will update everyone after I see him later today!
Kathy
