No room at the inn - make that beds at the hospital so Mom is still in the basement recovery area, but comfortable and watching the news.  She gets sprung tomorrow afternoon.  I just went out to buy her a treat for being so good.  They let her have the procedure without general anesthesia.  Heart rate is up to 81 steady beats.

Gram is good

Gram came through her surgery. Mom hasn't seen her yet but the doctor says she is doing well.

Pacemaker Scheduled

The Bionic Woman will be getting her Pacemaker on Monday afternoon at Cooperstown hospital.  I am  taking her in for pre-op at 10 with her surgery scheduled for 2 pm. It takes from 2-4 hours and I will post information here as soon as Mom is in recovery.  I plan on staying overnight and, barring that predicted blizzard or flood, bringing her home on Tuesday.  The hardest part for her may be the restriction on food and drink starting Sunday night.

Says it All

David is Fine

I tried to get David to post, but you know how busy kids can be.  It seems he has a crushing amount of homework every night.  He was tickled to have been the focus of everyone's concern - thanks everybody.  The antibiotics seem to have done the trick.  We're waiting to see if there will be any scars!

I am having a great day today.  Ben and I planted a burning bush for Alex and Molly, Vicki, and I made applesauce. Family members stopped by which made my day. Thank you everyone.

Bionic Woman Soon to Appear

Our Matriarch has found that she needs a pacemaker in order for her heart to keep up with her body and will be having the (minor) surgery soon.  Here's hoping for a quick return of energy and activity - and just when I could almost keep up with her.

How is David G?

We hope David is better and the mystery disease is resolved.

I heard about a lot of fond memories being told about Alex on Sunday. I'm sorry that I was unable to attend. I thought about him and all of you there. After talking to Sonja tonight I could see Alex looking over at mom and her now famous footwear. In his typical unimposing and complimenting voice he said, "Cool, Gram"
