Mom Update

My Mom had some additional tests done this week and found out that she is going to need open heart surgery to repair at least one valve, as well as a bypass. I can't believe this is the outcome. She seems way too young to be having all of these issues and I honestly thought that if anything needed to be done, it wouldn't be that! I thought she would be more upset than she is, but she's actually handling it very well. I think she's just relieved to know what is going on and can now prepare herself for it. I still have my fingers crossed that after this is all done, that she will have more energy and more motivation to live a healthier, happier life. She deserves that and I can't stand to see her the way she is now...especially after growing up with a Mom who was completely different! We're not exactly sure when she is going to have the surgery, but she is meeting with the cardiac surgeon today to get more details. I hope all of her questions get answered!
