Friday found everyone at the hospital early and then I went in around 11'ish as I was planning on a couple day trip to Seminole since GG would be in surgery for what turned out to be 11 hours. She did survive the operations which turned out to be three separate ones. Nancy said she looked good in the recovery room considering what she had gone through. The next 24 hours will give the doctors some indication if she is some what on the road to recovery and will survive. It seems first they had to rebuild the aorta as it was dissolving. They used vessels out of her legs and chest; then two by-passes in the heart its self and then several areas where veins were taken from her body to make these changes, yikes and to think at 88 she lived through these surgeries. We had enough folks who were praying for her survival and it seems to have been a success so far. There is the chance she may have suffered some lasting effects from the operations but only time will tell.
I had an uneventful 4 plus hour trip back to the homestead. I met up with neighbor Dan and friend Patrick who saw me come into the drive. We chatted for a while then I got busy checking on the house since its been empty for nearly three weeks. We have had some rain finally and the grass is over grown and the high heat has just about done in any garden thats left. I did pick a couple jalapeno's pepper to take to Amy and Tyler's for supper as they had me over for grilled chicken on a bed of salad and baked taters, yeow it was so good to have home cooking again. The grand kiddos where happy to see me and gave me lots of love and hugs.
I'm still having some chest congestion but found a bottle of Robitusion and took a good shot of that and went to bed around 9:30. I slept a little better in my bed but woke up around 1:30 coughing so I took another shot and that seems to have quieted down the urge to cough. I'm back on my vitamins and supplements since I had run out a week a go and I truly think that made a difference. It's 6'ish in the morning(sat) so I already have a load of laundry in the machine and I want to get a haircut before noon, go to the library and then mow the yards before having supper with the Cool Peoples Club up the street at the Botbyl's around 6'ish this evening.
I want to attend Bridgepoint Church in the morning then head out after lunch for Miami to relieve Braden who is driving his mom Betsy and Nancy back and forth to the hospital while GG recovers. I'm not sure how long we can keep up this routine but sometime we will just have to leave GG in a skilled nursing facility in Miami until we can get her back to this area. Prayers are coveted, LATER
