I've stopped at my own house to get my mail, and then I'm returning to my mama's, so I can be with her dog.

Her heart is very weak. They had to do a 4-way bypass instead of three. They also have to keep her completely sedated, because the little bit that she was awake, she heard them discuss her condition and panicked. We can only see her for 10 minutes every two hours, and not until tomorrow. She has two private nurses in the Cardiac ICU, and other special "goodies". The first 24 hours will be critical.

I wish I could tell you that I'm holding up well. I'm not - me, the strong one, the one who never cries. I've had two major meltdowns and have fainted. (How belle-like!) Anyhow, if you're familiar with the 91st Psalm, you know how in the last part, the Lord talks directly to you? I wrote that out, as a conversation between the Lord and my mama, and they have it taped to her bed so she can see it. We've always referred to it as her psalm, as it's her favorite. I've been singing that song, "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High, Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty..." so I can drive.

I'll try to post more, hopefully on a better note, from my mama's. I need to see to Buffy.

My mama & brother send their love and thanks for all the prayers. We covet each and every one of them, and I truly love my sisters!! God bless you ALL!!
