The surgeon was just in, the chest Xrays looked great........the right lung looks great.............JACK IS GOING HOME...........
I gave the surgeon a hug and said THANK YOU......... we will see him again in 3 weeks.......
NOW to wait til everything last little thing is taken care of, at least I was here when the surgeon came in and gave the GOOD TO GO...............
Jack had him sign his pillow...........
I want to try to do some stuff....it will be a couple of months....but the pillows they give to the heart surgery patients are made by the auxiliary here at the hospital...they are a rectangle 16X12...with 2 straps on it....the one Jack has is sewn, and stuffed very full so that it is nice and firm yet soft.....I think I may crochet some and bring them here for them to use......I could make them in cotton so that they are not a "static" danger like acrylic would be....I could also make them in different colors and maybe even put a heart on them......It would be wonderful if I could get LOTS made for them, and to even maybe find other hospitals that deal with heart surgery to donate them to.............Heart hospitals will now have a very warm place in my heart........They saved my husbands life, before it was really in danger, and now he will be around for many years with the kids and I...........NOW for myself to go get a good exam done, and make sure that I am good to go....Need to get the booby squeeze done, the female yucky exam, cholesterol checked and such.....there is no excuse to put it off anymore..............
I am just about done with Brooke's blanket, and then I need to get Williams done.............They will be done for Christmas, as long as no new BUMPS enter my life and keep me from them........
Hope you are all safe and warm.......Have a blessing filled day........

They give out heart pillows here too. My husbands pillow was made with material and shaped like a heart. I brought it to the hospital with me when I had my surgery last month.
Now making pillows is a wonderful idea... but it's NOT a must do right away. Get your life back to a routine, fix up some other things you have been meaning to do... then as you have a spare moment work on A pillow. (NOT 50 just 1).
Remember not every Good idea is a GOD idea. And not every Good idea is a must do now idea.
That is just wonderful new!!!! I am so happy that he will be home with you all for the holidays!!! My prayers are still with you all as you make the transition from hospital to home though. Remember to take it easy and don't take any of the grumpies personally! If it gets to you take a minute to step back from it all, even just five minutes, and say a prayer and remind yourself that he is healing!
Pillows are a wonderful idea!!! That would be cool if you could maybe make one or two each month next year!!! Is there a special reason for the two straps on Jacks? Or could we just make regular 16x12 pillows?
That is so wonderful Wendy. I am so glad to hear the good news. Yeah for you and Jack. I will keep you all in my prayers and hope that you have a great blessed filled week.
*Hugs*
Oh happy News! Jack will be home for the holidays. Yeah!
WELCOME HOME JACK!!!!!!
Wendy, I'm so happy for you.
Wonderful Wendy, It is so good to hear your optimism come back.
The hard part with all its' uncertainty is over and what a blessing to have the surgery behind him and Christmas around the corner.
Even if there isn't much under the tree you have so much to be thankful for.
God bless you, Jack, Brooke and William. I pray the new year brings many new opportunities.
Many Hugs and much love
Diane
