Update and Welcome

-
I know that many of you are new to our blog, so welcome! Justin and I enjoy blogging about our lives, but I know that many of you have just joined us for surgery. So, please stay tuned for the rest of our lives as well!

Justin is doing well. He has rested most of the day. He also sat up in a chair for an HOUR! He said his chest pain was fine, but he couldn't get his neck comfortable in that chair (because he wanted to SLEEP!) He has been a great patient and has his normal humor. He also has comments that make little to no sense and probably won't remember most of this!

Funny Comments from Justin today -
  • Mrs. Anita was talking to Justin and finally said, "I think you're sleeping, so I'm going to leave you along. " to which Justin replied (With eyes closed) - "I can multitask!"
  • Mom was cracking jokes by his bed and said, "I guess you don't think this is funny." And I said, "That's ok, right Justin, that is how we talk at home." Justin said, "Yeah we make jokes about your mom all the time."
  • Yesterday I stepped out to eat lunch with my parents and Justin asked Mrs. Anita where I went. And the he said, "Go tell her that I said she is not to leave this hospital without her mom and dad."
  • Yesterday the nurse asked how he was doing and he said, "I feel like I just had my chest cut open."
  • Today, one of the doctors asked how he felt and Justin said, "Like a million bucks" (Obviously sarcastic!)

Praising today for a GREAT day! Lots of rest, Little pain, Able to sit in a church, prayers are being answered!

We love you all and ask that you thank the Lord for his progress and continue to pray for his healing!

We really enjoyed reading those great comments. Tell Justin that he had us rolling. Jason's fav. was the one about feeling like he just had his chest cut open. Mine was the one about your mom. We'll keep praying. Love ya'll.

Well you will notice (assuming I get internet and get to post this blog) that it is in fact 12:17am.  If you know me at all, you know that I am not awake at this time by choice!  Also keep in mind that it is technically 1:17 where I am. Let me walk you through the day  . . . Mrs. Anita and Mr. Jimmy arrived in Ecru around 8am to pick us up.  The ride to the Memphis airport was quick and talkative.  We arrived at the airport around 9:30.   We unloaded all the bags at the curb and the men went to park the car.  Just trying to get a jump start on the day, I went to the ticket counter (where there was no line!) to see if I could get us checked in.  The man let me check all the bags and bumped us up to an earlier flight.  He was afraid that due to the weather, our 12:45 flight would be delayed.  When we got the gate we found out that the flight we were put on was also delayed.  The original flight was late getting to Charlotte, ...

First, I would like to welcome our new blog readers to our lives online.  Because of Justin’s heart situation, we have some new readers to our blog.  I would like to encourage you to follow after this is all over with as well.  This is a fun way for Justin and I to share about our “interesting” (although you may not think so) lives! Health Update – Justin and I talked to and received an email from Dr. Gupta, the doc in Tupelo who is taking care of us.  He said that he is sending all of Justin’s info to Dr. Landzberg in Boston.  They should receive the info by Friday and hopefully review his info by Monday.  Dr. Gupta is expecting to hear from them by mid-week at the latest, hopefully by Monday or Tuesday.   So, Justin and the rest of the family are just in the waiting stage.  It reminds me of Dr. Suess’s book “Oh the Places You’ll Go”.  There is a page or two about the “waiting place”.  You can tell from the pictures in the book a...
