i slept okay last night, though the hospital noises were minimum.. i knew it was a strange environment. i couldn’t help but wake up every couple hours thinking, “where the..? ooh..”
country omelette (& sour cream!) with pancakes.. delicious!
mom went into surgery at about 11AM this morning. it didn’t take long, and she was out (around 2PM). everything went smoothly; however,they ended up doing a quintuple (5) bypass instead of quadruple. even so, the doctor said everything is looking good so far.
while waiting for her to settle into the ICU, i went and ate breakfast at ihop. dad stayed in the waiting room.
it was a good breakfast, but i was lonely. i really wanted my mom. :(
anyway, i’m home for the night (to sleep in my own bed!).. hopefully i sleep well.
thanks again, everyone. i know i say it a LOT, but i want you to know how much i appreciate your support.
sorry my blog has been so melancholy lately; it’ll perk back up soon, i promise!

it’s 10PM now; mom’s surgery is at 11:30AM tomorrow.
she’s on a strict clear-liquid diet, though i couldn’t help but sneak her just a bite of sugar-free chocolate. she was craving it so bad.
leslie the lemur, here to keep me company!
dad and i will be staying out of town for the night. i think i’ll sleep in mom’s room (i’m blogging while next to her IV machine.. it purrs like a kitten..), but i’m not sure yet. dad got a hotel room, but the way he snores.. i’d much rather sleep here. ;)
while on her walk, mom and i stopped in and gave a little girl down the hall a balloon and stuffed bunny. she’s about 3 years old, and resembles “lilo” from lilo and stitch. mom originally met her while walking yesterday. we’re not sure why she’s here (& didn’t push the subject), but thought we’d brighten her day. she gladly bounced the balloon up and down, and giggled. the bunny was a big hit as well. you know how i am with gift-giving.. lol!
just thought i’d share some photos from the day; things are going well so far, and i hope it continues.. (the prayers/good juju/thoughts are working!) thanks again, everyone. i’m looking forward to having something else to blog about soon, as you can imagine..
