Mom at the rehab center

Update on Mom. On Febuary 6th, Mom didn't feel well. The next day she finally went to the hospital and found out she had a heart attack. That night she had a balloon pump inserted next to her heart and found out that most of her arteries were badly blocked. On Febuary 10th (Brian's birthday) she had open heart surgery (5 bypasses). She did really good in surgery but was not stable and had some bleeding so that night she had a second surgery. They opened her up again. Looked at her heart and stopped the bleeding. It took her a long while to wake up. Slowly, each day she got better and better. She was released from the hospital on Febuary 15th and is now in a rehab center. At first she was really weak and couldn't sit up or even walk. She is making very good progress and will go home when she is able to resume normal everyday tasks.

As you can see she is doing really good.
