I cannot begin to tell you how much every single comment meant to me on my blog last night.  I am too exhausted to do anything other than surrender to my exhaustion tonight.  I am really encouraged about the possibility of this surgery, today was incredibly difficult in terms of breathing.  It was hot and humid and I could hardly breathe.  I want so much for something to get better.  I have an echocardiogram Friday and it is my understanding that I have to have cardiac testing and stability before even being considered for the surgery so this is a good thing too.

This is my last night with my daughter visiting and I need to try to enjoy her if I can stay conscioius.

I love each one of you and your comments and support lift me up and give me great hope.

Thank you again and again and again!

Ellen
