Mom is going to have an echo stress test this morning. We should know later today whether or not she is strong enough for surgery.

On a lighter note:
Here is a copy of an e-mail from Deanna, and then Uncle Ron's reply:

Hi Aunt Jane,

Thank you so much for keeping us updated on Grandma. We really appreciate you and Uncle Ron being out there. I know it's a lot for you guys. I just wanted to send this picture of Ally and Vern holding a sign for Grandma. I don't know if you can put it on your blog or not? Grandma hasn't seen any pictures of Vern yet, so hopefully she can see this. Do you have wireless internet? Anyway, our thoughts are with all of you. Talk to you soon.

Love,
Deanna

p.s. Sorry you are stuck there with Uncle UGLY!!!!!!!!!! :) I hope he's not scaring any of the other patients! ha,ha

"It's amazing how the doctors and nurses (especially the nurses) took to me. I've already done 3 brain surgeries and 2 heart transplants, using only my pliers. Remember when I grabbed your toe with the pliers???"
