God continued to give my mom a smooth transition to her home for the next week or so. She is in the cardiac unit in room D598 and has gotten terrific attention from the clinicians and staff. We were able to work out an agreement to give her an uninterrupted night’s sleep which will help tremendously.
Tomorrow will be a day of hydration to get her kidneys back to their best before surgery around 8:30 AM on Wednesday. She’s encouraged and comfortable but eager to get this valve replaced so she can return to the activity level she typically maintains. At this point she gets out of breath just walking five feet. This surgery is more than welcome!

Thanks, Brian. Still praying. Give her my love.
