Good morning, dear Deplorable FRiends.
I just posted this update on the prayer thread for my Aunt Peggy.
I’ve missed all of you very much and can’t wait to be back here on the TFT.
In the meantime, life calls.
***hugs*** to all of you! (exit, when I get back you’ll have some serious competition for the bacon!)
Update:
Aunt Peggy’s heart attack was very bad.
A stent was put into one of her arteries the when she arrived at the hospital the evening of her heart attack.
The family was told that the attack was a bad one and that her chances of survival were 50-50.
She’s very strong and she survived. Thank you all very, very much for your prayers.
Now for the extended sobering facts.
Because of the severe damage to her Aunt Peggy’s heart, her case has been referred to a heart transplant team at a different hospital.
She’s 78 so a transplant isn’t an option but a heart pump is.
Her new doctor told her and us that with a heart pump she could have ten or twelve more years. Without a heart pump she has six months, max, so she has begun the process of testing to see if she qualifies for heart pump surgery.
Once again she’s facing 50-50 odds because that’s what her new doctor says that her chances are of qualifying for heart pump surgery.
Thank you all for your prayers. Your prayers and support mean so much more than you know.
I’d like to ask your continued prayers for Aunt Peggy.
Sorry it’s taken so long to update. I got home on Monday and have been unpacking, doing laundry, resting, and repacking for my inevitable trip back to Texas which could happen at any time if there’s a problem.
Hopefully I’ll be going back in a couple of weeks to be with Aunt Peggy for heart pump surgery.
I appreciate your prayers and support so much and eventually will be thanking each of you dear FRiends individually. You are wonderful people and I wish I could thank you in person. :-)
Even more, I wish y’all could meet my Aunt Peggy. She’s a real sweetheart and you’d love her very much. She’s that person who has the big wrap-around porch with (no kidding!) at least thirty fold-up chairs stacked along the porch’s back wall because so many people stop by so often.
Aunt Peggy is beloved by many and now she has her first great granddaughter - four months old - who she adores and who looks just like her.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, and I’m praying for all of you!

Thanks so much for the Aunt Peggy update, dear Pax.
Praying so heard that the doctors will be able to perform a miracle for sweet Aunt Peggy.
You need to be sure and take good care of yourself.
This is so stressful for you and you know stress is a killer.
Be careful.
Looking forward to having our funny zany Pax back.
Miss you!!
Thanks for the update on Aunt Peggy.
And good to hear from you, pax.
I miss your tapping foot.
Prayers continuing, for dear Aunt Peggy.
