Birthday Party
Well, about 2 weeks ago when we found out Geo's mom needed the coronary bypass operation, we told her surgeon, okay, fine, but she needs to be home by her birthday. We said hospital birthdays are no fun. Well, after a major surgery with a lengthy recovery, we are just blessed to be able to celebrate another birthday with McMom, period! So today we decorated her room, invited a few friends over, and had "high tea" with scones as the birthday pastry of choice (great idea, Andie!!!). Mom seemed to love it and we were all happy to celebrate the day with her. And her surgeon stopped by and was happy to wish her a happy birthday as well. I won't mention that we broke about every rule the Critical Care Unit has, but it's all for the patient's well-being, right? ;)
FYI: the broken rules include 1) no more than 2 family members visiting at a time, 2) no food or drink in the room except patient food, 3) actually, breaking the first rule felt like breaking two at the same time, because it was mostly friends visiting and there were 7 of us there at the same time. Mom's nurses have been wonderful and her nurse today was a doll for letting us entertain mom this way and they even bought her a balloon and a sweet little angel for a present. We are so spoiled!
Enjoy the pictures!

I'm so glad McMom is doing well. That's a huge surgery. The scones and tea sound wonderful! I bet that really made her day.
