Showtime at the Apollo
India has a way of capturing peoples hearts.. In Susan's case it will keep it beating steadily as well.. Here is Mom in bed number 73 at the Apollo Hospital's ICU unit. (one of the top ranked hospitals in Asia) She is surrounded by the sweetest 'sisters' (nurses) who keep her resting, well fed and in good spirits until she has a pace maker put in( scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9 15.) It was a big shock for all of us to find out about her heart but we all feel blessed Mom is in such good hands and has the best care. Pictured is Joy, she is Christian and although she speaks a little English she and Mom can sing Christmas carols together and her sweet smile and attentiveness has made Mom's stay the best of an unexpected situation. Mom is the first patient any of the nurses have attended to who has walked into ICU. All 9 of the nursing staff greeted her as she arrived and wanted to see for themselves the woman who walked in with a heart beat of 37 beats per minute..Namy and Jack sneaked a visit in today even though children are forbidden from ICU.. Jack was visiting long enough to swing on her bed rails and discover a dangling stethoscope. After tomorrow's procedure Mom will be moved to a recovery ward for four days and then will be home on Sunday..
Mom thanks everyone for their love and prayers.
