Morning Update:   Day 4 -
I talked to Mom this morning and she sounds much better! She is still in a lot of pain of course and her O2 was a little low, so they have her on 1 liter O2 for now and did an x-ray at 5 am. She has been doing everything they ask of her because she wants to get home so bad! She told me she keeps thinking about JD and that if he could put up with what he puts up with on a daily basis, then she could do it too!! She was so happy to see Meghan last night! Thanks Meghan for going to check on her and Pops! JD is so mad because I won't take him to go see her. But I refuse to take him into a hospital unless he has to go! He will get to talk to her tonight on the phone, that will have to do until she's home!
Keep the prayers coming for her please. We need her Home and Completely Healthy!!!!
Don't forget to send her an eCard Greeting at this link...

Update:   Day 3 -
Mom is still in a lot of pain today, but on the road to recovery! We certainly appreciate all your prayers and well wishes. Please keep them coming! She is in her own room finally and dad is still with her.  She is in the Texas Heart Institute in Houston at St. Luke's - tower room 1127 - and you should be able to reach her or dad at 832-355-2414. You can also send her an eCard Greeting at

all you will need is her name Joan Spain and room #1127 tower. I am sure that would put a smile on her face! They are saying she can be out of there as early as Tuesday, please pray that happens for her! We need her well and back at home!
Thanks again for all the prayers! Rhonda
