had a great family get together yesterday..3 out of 4 daughters, 3 grand kids, 1 SIL..kid #4 was still 'enroute and did not arrive 'till late..oh yea, I was there too..BUT, Dee was not with us..she is in hospital, recovering from open heart surgery..she is doing well..went emergency room Sunday nite with breathing difficulties, and after many tests, a damaged heart valve was found..valve was also infected, so it had to go..was scheduled for Friday, but the docs did not want to wait..surgery was done Tues. afternoon..doc said all went well and she has a new valve, and the infection was removed..our kids were all on their way to see Dee at the time they moved up surgery..Dee is doing well..she is out of cardiac care, and might get to come home on Monday...not sure about that tho..hope..those are the details..it has been a hell of a week for sure..camp, as you might guess, is iffy, at best..not much more to say, certainly when things slow a bit the sight of Dee's kids was awesome, she lit up like a XMAS tree..our kids live in NJ, TEX, and SOCAL, so it is a big deal thanks and keep your family,and friends too, close to your heart always bill
