So far so good ... if "so good" means that momWolf still hasn't had surgery. She's not cardiac stable yet. When I showed up to visit today she had three additional IV pumps (for a total of five), and has bags hung for hydration, nutrition, two different antibiotics, heparin, and nitroglycerin, not to mention shots as needed for pain, short-acting insulin, and a couple of oral meds for good measure.

She might actually be doing better than I at this point. Her blood pressure is lower and she's sleeping better.

We still don't have a date for surgery, but the nice Surgical resident in today seemed quite encouraged over the softness and lack of tenderness in her abdomen. Mom has been having some episodes of angina at night, but I can't get anyone to tell me if there are any EKG changes.

Thanks to everyone for the prayers. I had a devout friend tell me today that since God is all knowing and exists outside of time, He'll make sure that the prayers are applied at the proper moment.
