Hi there. Michelle again. A few people mentioned they still enjoyed visiting our website, so I thought I would continue writing. Hopefully I don't become a bore to you...... I've added the picture of my greeting Marisa when I came home on Tuesday - gotta give all 3 equal coverage. I am still on the mend, although my mom has me convinced I'm not doing my breathing exercises enough. My right lung still has a little fluid, and doesn't sound good at all when listened to through a stethoscope. I have now begun breathing in my little gadget every 15 minutes instead of every hour - wahoo, what fun. I don't think the lung issue is of great concern; my discharge x-ray would have alerted my doctors. I think it's just one more thing for me to worry about....
Dave and Dominic went down to the Tiger game with our brother-in-law Craig and my nephews Will and Thomas. I don't know who was more excited, Dave or Dominic. It is so awesome to see the Tigers doing well this season, Dave's been such a diehard fan his whole life - I'm glad now that we live so close he can enjoy so many games during the summer. The girls are spending the night at our close friends, Gary & Ronda Bussa. They have two daughters the same ages as Natalie and Marisa. So that leaves me home alone. My parents came over to baby-sit me. I can think of a dozen other ways to be spending a Friday night, but hey - I will definitely take a lease on life if it means having to spend a few weekend nights hanging out with Earl and Iole. Plus, my parents have been so good to me the last few days - I don't know what I would have done without having my mom around to help with the kids, laundry, meals, errands, my health issues, Reggie, and the list goes on......
Well, that's it for tonight. I do have one final note - just a plug for a website that helped (and still helps) me out tremendously. If you know anyone (or may-be their child) who has a congenital (from birth) heart defect, there is a great organization in PA. It is the Adult Congenital Heart Association and it is a great resource for dealing with CHD as an adult. Their website is www.achaheart.org
Alright, I'll stop babbling......Have a wonderful weekend. Thanks again for your well wishes. Take care, Michelle
