So sorry that I haven't been posting on here. As many of you know, for the past 3+ weeks our family has been walking through a health trial with my Grammy B. Here's what has happened...
On Saturday, May 15, while traveling from Louisiana to attend our Dad's surprise 50th birthday party, Grammy experienced heart problems and went to Eastern Maine Medical Center where she had a mild heart attack. At that time, the doctor's felt that that her condition was fairly mild, so Grampy called that night and told us to go ahead with the party and not to tell Dad until after he had enjoyed the surprise element of the party. That was hard to do, but we did. Our family traveled to Bangor on Monday, May 17, to be visit with Grammy while she waited for her Angioplasty procedure. The doctors tried an angioplasty, but were unable to fix the problem that way because her condition was much worse than they had originally thought. Two of her main arteries were over 90% blocked and another smaller vein also had significant blockage. On May 18, Grammy had a triple by-pass surgery.
Since then, there have been many ups and downs in her road to recovery which we have documented on a prayer blog for her. Penny's Progress (See, I have been bloging recently, just not on here!) We went and had supper with Grampy & Grammy on Friday. They are staying about two hours from here at a B & B while she continues her recovery, then they will probably be coming and staying closer to us for about a week before heading back to Louisiana.
We are so thankful for all the Lord has done for our family during this time. He has been so faithful! Thank you to all who have been praying for us.
