Dad came into to see Mom this afternoon and complained of heart pain and high blood pressure. Mom was immediately alarmed and insisted that he see the doctor. Anna brought him down to the emergency room and he was admitted. They took an x-ray and ran an EKG but all his resting numbers seemed normal. They are currently running a stress test to see how he reacts to stress, but they hope to let him go home tonight.
Meanwhile, Mom calmed down once she knew Dad was receiving the medical attention he needed and recognized that open heart surgery would no longer be necessary. Later she saw a physical therapist who showed her how to get out of bed. Mom was assessed and she will be taken care of by a physical therapist with the nickname "pitbull." This sobriquet made Mom a little nervous.
Then she was visited by a social worker, which was positive. Mom was able to share with her how her faith helps Mom manage stress.
She hasn't been have too many opportunities to rest. Otherwise her cheeks are now red, which is positive.

Hi Joanne,
Your daughter told me about your condition... I am so sorry to hear that you're having to go through this tough time. Stay strong and optimistic. All will be well soon, and before you know it you'll be back in classes. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that you are well soon.
Regards,
Susanne
