Holiday Blahs!!!

The last 2 days have been kinda funny, I think it's the "Holiday Blahs!!!". Usually my Mom flies down to spend Christmas with Phillip and I. We always have such a good time, there's always some kind of adventure that we go on! This year she's using her time off in January to go to North Carolina instead. A few years back my mother had a very bad episode. She had an aortic aneurysm, basically her heart was seperating. She ended up having a ton of very intense surgery @ Deborah Heart & Lung Hospital in New Jersey. A synthetic aorta, a by-pass, and more... This was going horribly wrong! The Doctors stopped the surgery and had my sisters and I come into the surgery room to say our good byes. When I held my Mom's hand... I knew she was under, but when we spoke you could see a tear run down the side of her face. That's when I knew she wasn't giving up. Let me tell you, Myrna is a fighter! She's been through so much in her life yet continues to have the soul of a Saint.

After the ordeal at Deborah, my sister Laura pulled some strings @ DUKE Medical to have her moved there. I think it's #4 in the country as far as heart specialists go. The team there was amazing! This move to DUKE was definately the right choice. I thank God for Laura! Mom still has her daily things to take care of health wise, but she's doing great... She always positive about life, always social, goes out with her girlfriends to the casinos in Atlantic City. She's also Cyber-Mom and loves to hang out on http://www.Pogo.com playing her games and chatting! I just wish she was closer! Not only is she a great Mother... but I adore her as a person.

Ok... I feel a tad bit better that I blabbed about my Mom!

All hail Myrna!!!
