So Says He
March 15th, 2008 by Sonja

UPDATE – Saturday early afternoon … I had a voicemail from LightMom at around noon. It was crackly and hard to hear in the noise of the ice rink. But I think GrandPea is to be discharged today. He will go back for stress tests and further follow ups. But for now all is well. Apparently during the high drama yesterday a doctor asked him if he knew where he was and he replied, “Well, I know I’m not in heaven.” So, through it all his sense of humor was intact. Today he’s up walking around and reading his beloved NYTimes. So all must be right with the world. And LightGirl scored a goal in the game her team won this morning! As Scarlett O’Hara might say … Today IS a betta day.

*****************************************************

Today saw some changes afoot in the LightFamily. We packed our bags and took it on the road.

I’m writing in a hotel right now. LightGirl is playing in a hockey tournament this weekend. She played as goalie in a game tonight. They lost. Pheh.

During our travel time (which took far too long due to rampant Washington DC traffic) the GrandPea was undergoing some rather routine surgery. Nothing terrible and none of us were too worried about it. He was mostly kinda wigged out about the spinal he had to have. I tried to tell him (having had one during labor) that it’s not so bad.

LightMom just called and said that well, the surgery is now small potatoes. GrandPea’s heart stopped in the recovery room and though they got it started again, they really don’t know why it did that. So even though The GrandPea doesn’t think it will do much good, would you please say a prayer for him and his doctors and even the LightMom. Pray for wisdom for the doctors and peace and comfort for my mom and dad.

    Thanks, Patrick … I’m more than a little wigged out by this. One of my good friends (“Tall” Mom) dad is also in the hospital with heart related problems this weekend.

    And, the lilac bush that GrandPea gave me the first spring we lived in our house is finally going to give me some blooms this spring. I’ve waited SIX years for this. It was a tiny little stick in half pint milk carton when he gave it to me … a shoot off of one of his bushes at home. So …
