Since the 11:00 visit, there are no changes. Dad is getting ready to head back for the 1:00 visit. Mom's cardiologist stopped by after hearing about Pat's emergency. He was shocked that she was back given how great she had been doing since her previous surgery. He recapped with us all that had happened. There were no additional surprises that we did not already have knowledge of.

He did say that it was a miracle that Pat recognized something was not right with her body. She payed attention to it and as a result, she and the medical staff are where they are today rather than the mortal alternative. It is also a miracle that this happened as it did because she and dad were planning to leave for a two week trip out of town. Thank you Lord.

Dad is jokingly whispering to mom when he visits her that she needs to wake up so that they can go to the beach to rest and recover. I love his peace and sense of humor about the whole thing. We all just want to see her baby blues opened once again, but we must wait while God does His handywork to restore mom's body so that she can be that same feisty, energetic lady we all know and love.

We don't expect there to be too many more changes to update you about today, but should anything occur, I will provide details. We are simply waiting for her to respond to current treatment which could take another day or two. Otherwise, look for another entry after 8:30 visit to ICU.
