update & thank you

mom took a couple of short strolls this evening. it's a lot of effort... a lot of effort... but she's doing really well. her oxygen levels are coming up - her reading was high enough even after being without the oxygen for awhile (to take a walk & such) that they turned down her oxygen thing (how'd you like that technical term?) she'll still be there several more days. the doctor wants to be sure and take things slowly and very cautiously. sounds good to me. i believe that the third time can be a charm (i mean, i am the third child), but i think two surgeries is plenty.

thank you for all the prayers. we do very much appreciate them. within the next couple of days i may even start picking up the phone and returning calls & such. bear with me, i'm trying. :)
