~Barbara Jean's Heart ~

My sweet 77 year old mother decided to celebrate spring with undergoing open heart triple bypass surgery March 1st. She's tough~~~and is recuperating hopefully getting out of ICU later today. She has a long eight weeks + at least ( her heart surgeon says) recovery, but won't have to undergo any more stenting procedures and her prognosis sounds like she will feel better with more energy. Keep her in your prayers~ She has already told Shelly, my youngest sister that this will be the last surgery she every wants to have!!

When we saw her off to the OR at 6:00 AM yesterday morning-I felt pretty calm and so did she that she was in the "Lord's Hands". Apparently she is still very much needed here with her great sense of humor and generous spirit! She loves her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren so much~.

Hang in there mom - you are a courageous, brave lady!!
