Mommy update

My mother is out of the hospital in what I think is record time -- two nights in ICU and five nights in the hospital!

She looks fantastic and is ready to go on with her life.

She's staying with my brother, Fred, for a few weeks. He has a walk-in shower. That's important because she really can't step into a tub right now.

And he's got a big-screen TV she can sit and watch all day.

We're really happy -- and relieved -- that she came through the quadruple bypass so well. We can't say enough about Dr. Jeffrey Travis, who did the surgery. He's really the best. And the staff at St. Francis was outstanding, especially Marie and John in ICU. They were really wonderful.

I want to thank all of the people who either came by, sent notes and delivered flowers to our sweet, precious mother.

We appreciate that more than you'll ever know.

Thank you!
