Update on Evie Nearly Five Months After Surgery

The story's not over just yet. She has an appointment with a surgeon who works on electrical irregularities of the heart in about a week and a half to determine if there's anything he can do to help her.

And, we'll see what comes out of that.

But, for now, things are going well.

Evie takes a boatload of medications every day, something I didn't anticipate before the surgery. Without them, I suspect, she'd be living but without much quality to her life.

But, they are working.

The insurance I have through my employer pays enough of the cost for the medications to allow us to still survive financially, though I can't begin to imagine what we'd do if we had to pay the retail price for this stuff.

And, they work so well that the cardiologist is saying that the surgery to correct the electrical problems almost certainly not worth its risk.

Anyway,...

Evie's back at her part-time job. She visits mom regularly, though mom's sick now and, in her dementia, she doesn't always want to be visited.

And, she walks Laddie, often between 2 and 3 hours a day.

And, she's doing cardiac therapy, which exhausts her but is building up her stamina.

We're content, all things considered.

And, very thankful for your prayers and support and for God's mercy and grace.
