    Mimi, I hope you will be with your son(s) and are able to spend time with Don, even if it's at the hospital. Get some good Asian food, if you're not able to eat turkey! Go for a ride .

    (((Mimi))). I so wish it were otherwise.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Gosh, everyone's been having such an up-and-down time with hospitals lately. My friend is still in the hospital... things are still very scary (kind of par for the course for a heart transplant candidate, I guess), but it's better than the very, very, very scary month-or-so he just made it through.

    Being in the hospital over the holidays stinks even more than usual. Hoping to spend some time with him this weekend.

    Mimi and Don, I'm thinking of you all the time; I just know things are going to look up Now!

    Catrin and Mom - SO sorry about more surgery. I'm sending all my good thoughts your way - at least the ones that aren't going to Mimi and Don!

    Please hang in there all of you.

    My mom's surgery seemed to go well, and she should get out of ICU today and back to the "step-down" unit. This time she has a drain and THREE chest tubes, she only had 2 last time... Hopefully this will be the real beginning of her recovery. As hard as it is to watch her go through this, it is even harder to imagine what it is like to be the one going through this...

    Mimi- I'm crossing my fingers for you and Donald. That sounds like one very nasty original surgery. Here's hoping!!!

    Happy Thanksgiving (or as happy as you can make it!).
