Heidi's home!

Thanks to Karen who graciously flew Heidi from Nashville to Texas for the weekend!!  

Heidi landed in Dallas at 5 pm.  She and Daddy went to eat with Karen because the ICU was shut down between 6:00 and 8:30.  They ate at Chewey's.  At 8:30 they all went back to the hospital to visit with Mom. 

Heidi said, "Mom looks 100% more like herself!  She looks GREAT!"

Daddy said, "What a fox!  She was doing well.  Her spirits were good.  She is doing fine.  She is doing much, much better than yesterday.  She was beginning to speak in whispers."  

I am not sure these words would be the exact ones that I would use to describe Mom.  But, she does look a lot better than she did just after surgery.  

Mom told Heidi she loved her.  Mom is whispering and seems to still have a sore throat.  

We will all go to the hospital and visit tomorrow.  Thanks for reading!

  1. Amy, I enjoyed our visit tonight, and look forward to seeing your mom Monday. I hope her throat is better and we can "chat" awhile. You have been so kind to take the time to update all of us through this blog. Prayers continue for all of your family.

  5. Thanks, Amy for keeping us all updated with your posts. Your Mom will also be so glad there is a record of events for her to read some day. Her memories will be very vague, and this will help a lot for her to fill in gaps.
    I know your life is very hectic between family, going back to work, and hospital visits. Take care of yourself!
