18 Days Post Surgery

We have now reached the number of days that Joel was in the hospital for his last heart surgery in 2005. But this time Joel was hospitalized for about a week pre-surgery, too.
Joel's lungs looked cloudier this morning but his INR reached 3.4. His day was much like yesterday, except that Papa had to leave this morning.





Papa went home, picked up the other little kids, brought Timmy to Janina's for the day (so Lora could catch up on homework) and took Ella and Lucy to the university hospital for ENT appointments.










He said Lucy was very good and Ella was pretty good too. Those ear exams aren't easy for the little kids.
Again, thanks to all who are going out of their way to help our family keep functioning! God bless you!
