Wednesday

Finally got Mom home.
The cardiologist was hesitant to let Mom go because her BP was higher than she wanted. I assured her that if she let her go home her BP would drop. All vitals save BP were good. Cardiogram looked good. Mom was ready, no pain other than sitting around waiting. I relieved Jamie around 2:30 p.m. so he could head back to LR. We finally left the hospital around 3:30 p.m. Dad ecstatic to see Mom and Mom was ecstatic to see anybody without a white coat and stethoscope. The checkout nurse could not believe that Mom was in no pain. She gave us a prescription for pain meds but unless something changes we will not have to fill it.
Jamie and I were mis-informed about all of the test results on the melanoma. We do not have an all clear on the lymph node yet. The patologist has not read it yet and we will not have a definitive answer on it until Tuesday.

Jamie, thanks for taking the lead on this episode and for extending your stay to be with Dad and running the hospital show! I have a wonderful family (even if they are mis-guided on their politics). (Jib Jab).

Eph.3
[14] For this reason I bow my knees before the Father,
[15] from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named,
[16] that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with might through his Spirit in the inner man,
[17] and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
[18] may have power to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth,
[19] and to know the love of Christ which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fulness of God.
[20] Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think,
[21] to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, for ever and ever. Amen.

God is good!
