hi, how are you today?

as of yesterday, mom can no longer (even after she fully recovers) lift heavy objects due to her heart, nor can dad.

silly me. this morning i told mom that she looked skinnier (her arms especially) then she replied, in her own way (just in a weaker voice than usual), when was the last time you've seen a person get fat while in the hospital?

haha. that was funny.

mom is beginning to take this medicine that better helps regulate her blood flow into her heart. the reason for this wasn't what i expected to hear. the something valve that keeps the blood from pumping backwards back into the heart is wavering, as though it can't decide whether to stay open or closed - which is dangerous for mom. (technically the valve should only open when the blood passes through. other times it should remain closed)

from now on, mom's heart and i will undergo some crazy endurance testing. it is EXACTLY as jesus says in luke 6.

46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?

47 I will show you what he is like who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice.

48 He is like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built.

49 But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete."

this is the test. all i know is that heart and i are going to endure, YEA YEA!
