Mom back in hospital

These last two weeks without Internet have been busy ones for me. Mom had to go back into the hospital a week and a half ago to have the lead wire for her pacemaker reattached. Well it didn't work, they couldn't get it to attach anywhere.....so they had to schedule another surgery to go in under her breast though her rib cage and attach it directly to her heart. More complicated procedure....although I felt pretty good about it, she had the same surgeon John had for his valve replacement. He is a very good doctor and a very nice guy! They had to put her in the hospital 3 days ahead of time to get her lungs built up so she could survive the surgery, her lungs are in terrible shape since she has COPD. She had the surgery yesterday and did well. The ventilator came off yesterday right after the surgery, which we were worried about how long she would have to be on it they kept telling us with her lungs being so bad they'd have to take her off of it very slowly, but she did better then they wee expecting and they took it right out, and the chest tube was out today. She should get to come home this weekend or by Monday at the latest. She is a tuff ole bird!! Thanks to god!
