Dear So and So

(((Mimi & Don))) (((Catrin & Mom)))

Sending healing thoughts & prayers to you & all who need them.

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.

[Catrin]

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...

Donald had more than twice that many tubes!
good news, they have a plan. if the shunt pump works, he might be coming home next week!!

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!).

Dear family:

The next person who starts a sentence with "I need you to..." is going to find out what I really think of you. "Could you," "would you" - those are both acceptable. What you need or think you need is irrelevant.

Dear self:

Deep breath. Remember why you're going at all (the family you actually want to see).

Mimi, I hope it works! You can have a Thanksgiving do-over when he's home.
