Beautiful! Thank you for posting.

Good news Crissy. I know you're ready for your own bed!!!

So glad you are finally home, sweet, home.

Chrissy, so happy to hear you went home. You take care of yourself and keep a close eye on those kidneys. Praying for a full healing. I can't even imagine being in a hospital that long. What are they doing for you as far as home care and follow ups? Love and Huggles from me to you.

Hugs Chrissy!!

I'm on extended spring break (2 weeks early). As of now, we are supposed to go back on April 6th, but I'm guessing that will change.

Its great for me to have the extra time as my DH had quintuple bypass surgery on the 11th. He came home on Monday after a week in the hospital. He was admitted 2 days before surgery due to an unstable blood clot on the "widow maker" and 95% blockage on all the arteries. Cardiac immediately admitted Craig was admitted to the hospital and started on IV Heparin trip. The surgeon they cariologist was at a different hospital, so on the day before surgery they transferred him by ambulance to the other hospital on Tuesday afternoon. The unexpected school closure is giving me 3 weeks to be with DH. I was off all last week and had planned to take this week off. My oldest daughter was going to come in next week but with all the Covid-19 that has been cancelled. For now, we are happy to be hunkered down at home. He is allowed to go for walks outside with me. I'll also go to the grocery store as needed, but not making any extra trip. Lots of stuff I can do in the house. Doctors are really pleased with DH's progress, but he'll be off work for at least 4 - 6 weeks.

Chi - DH and I redid our wills in September - the total estate planning. We last wrote out will in 1989 when I was pregnant with my second - now we have 3 grown children. Kids aren't on any account yet. My DH and I were on our folks accounts before they passed away. As time comes, we will change the accounts and add their names. Our kids are all very mature and responsible and they would never touch the money without our permission. But I don't think we need to do that now. DH and I are young - he is 64 and I'll be 64 in 6 weeks. Baruch hashem, we will live long lives.

Everyone stay safe. Karen

Wren - that's great news!!! My BIL (DH brother) had quint bypass in 1999 at 47. So yes I am positive that he will be here for years to come. Between my BC and DH family heart history, my 3 kids have been dealt with some lousy genes!!! At least I know what the kids need to do preventative for both BC and heart. And DH being 64, is older than his brother and father!!
