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...

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!

Good morning everyone, Rhonda here.
Small post before I head out to the hospital. No it's not JD going in, it's my Mom (Mam~ma).
Yes, she is having surgery today, open heart surgery. and yes she is in Houston!
We sure don't mind your extra prayers today for her!
I will keep everyone posted on her condition as soon as I know! Dad will be there at the hospital with her for the duration. So if you can't get a hold of him, you can call me or Mag. If I don't answer my cell please leave me a message, I will call you right back!
Thanks for your prayers!
