8/14/09 8:00 pm

Mom is resting comfortably in CICU (Cardiac ICU). As of 7:30 pm, she had not woke up. The doctors assure us that this is completely normal with someone who just had heart surgery, especially someone of Mom's age.

Dad and I were able to see her at 1:00 pm. She looked better than the doctor had set expectations for. She was on the ventilator and had a really neat "warming" air mattress. I have got to get one for winters in Kansas! (The air mattress that is, not the ventilator!)

Because she was unconscious, Dad and I left to get some rest. (Bob had a work meeting to attend and Tom has a cold.) If she is awake, we plan to go see her at 9 am. Otherwise, the next visiting hours are at 10 am Saturday morning.
