Friday updates

* My grandmother had the heart catheterization tonight. Praise God! She does not have any blockages. She did not have a heart attack last week as previously thought. She has had a heart attack in the past but it could have been months even years ago. She has some heart damage. Most people’s hearts function at 60% hers is functioning at 25-35%. The doctor has changed some medication she is on and added some more to manage this condition. He said because of the heart damage she may be prone to an irregular heartbeat. Another specialist is going to come in and see if she would be a good candidate for an internal defibulator (it sends a shock to her heart if the heartbeat is irregular). That would be done at a later time. The doctor is going to keep her in the hospital until Monday or Tuesday. Her kidneys aren’t functioning like he would like them to be (she has had problems with her kidneys every time she goes in the hospital). The doctor is going to have her get up and walk tomorrow which should help her kidneys.

* Bennett is feeling much better. He and the Wildcats had their first home game tonight and they WON 20 to 13!!! Bringing their record to 5 and 0 -they are the only undefeated team in their conference. Way to go, boys!!!!

* The kids are spending the night with my paternal grandmother, Mimi, tonight. I know they are having a great time. They are excited about the hot, continental breakfast she'll be cooking for them in the morning.

* Tom and I enjoyed a nice Mexican dinner at San Jose. No date night is complete without a trip to Wal-Mart. Now it's time to watch some movies we rented.

* Thank you to all of you for praying for my brother and grandmother! Our God loves to hear from His children. He is especially fond of each of you!!
