My Dad has had that surgery (and so had my brother!) and it was so stressful!! For that reason, too, I'm also extra relieved that my Mom's heart is good.

I'm so glad to hear the surgery for your mom went well, but I know it's unnerving and unsettling to not know what's causing problems...and to be separated by distance. I hope things get figured out for her, and I wish I could offer some comforting words to you, but I am atChellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09609853657737544251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847226686813011212.post-67559444639142876722010-04-30T22:47:55.671-04:002010-04-30T22:47:55.671-04:00Thanks, everyone.

It's looking hopeful that it's something minor and pulmonary that something like an inhaler would help. Fingers crossed. <br /><br />Yes, lbs, you TOTALLY get it.

I was the only one up here that could care for her, and Carlie had just turned 1, so I left my sweet husband every day for hours during schooling, etc. for months to just BE with her and Grandpa. It was a huge sacrifice for Jeff, but now, 8 years later (and Grandma's gone), my grandpa still cries Melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04291997288212844822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4847226686813011212.post-64798796904130002382010-04-30T14:10:04.236-04:002010-04-30T14:10:04.236-04:00Although I'm not in your same situation, I can...Although I'm not in your same situation, I can relate to what you're saying and the feelings you're having.
