Update on Moms

Mom: Had four (yes FOUR) stints put in her heart on Wednesday. She spent the night for recovery and is now home. She's feeling pretty well, but not great. The stints have reopened a valve that was completely closed and a bit calcified (so that's good), but it looks like it might just be the first step in her road to a healthy heart.

Bonus Mom: Beginning to prep for round two of chemo; now we know what to expect. A burst of energy (thanks to the white blood cells they pump in for the occasion!), followed by a few really haggard-ish days, and lastly followed by a slow return to normal. Her first big clump of hair fell out this week, so Emily (bonus sister) came over to do the honors and shave it all off. I haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it looks great :)

Thanks for your continued prayers!

Oh my gosh...answered prayer! Hearing that Janie had her successful sergery is such a relief! Thanks for letting us know! As for Jane...she looks so very stylish no matter what. So I am pretty sure that she will make a shaved head be the "thing" in 2009!

Very glad to here your Mom(s) are doing well.

My Dad had 7 stents put in last year; it does get better!
