July 1st ~ New Month

Champions keep playing until they get it right...

 July begins with our mom doing great after surgery. 

Her doctor and her medical team call her the miracle lady.

  They keep saying how they have rarely seen someone her 

age heal so fast.  I call the hospital everyday as well 

since leaving NC, and they tell me the same thing.  

Last night I was told that our mom had a "step-down"  

What this means is that she is no longer in the ICU 

ward because she's doing great.  According to her doctor 

if all goes well she will be discharged today.  We were 

hoping she would be in a tad bit longer.  Just to 

get stronger, seems as if she's already there.

I cannot stop saying how relieved and happy we are

 at her progress.  Our dad also gives us daily update.

  My dad who never wanted to text is not a great 

texter.  We love him so much.  He is the best.

The month already started great as far as our mom's

 progress.  Unfortunately though Michelle and family 

will not be able to come visit us. Arvid and I are so 

disappointed, but things happen.  Time will tell.

As the new month begins I can't wait to see how 

it unfolds.  Can't wait for our mom to be back to her 

"normal" self, but most of all it begins with thankfulness 

and gratitude that our mom is doing so very good.  Arvid is

 still shocked at how fast she is going to be discharged.

A good day to all and may July be good to us all.
