Prayers are Welcome - UPDATED
Those of you who know me know that 1. I am not big on organized religion, and 2. I am not a non-believer. That being said, I am not averse to praying when needed. So, I am not being a hypocrite when I say that prayers are welcome.
Mom is having her heart surgery this morning, and I'm a bit worked-up about it. I'll be waiting to hear from my sisters on her condition after surgery while I'm at work today. It helps knowing she's at one of the best cardiac units in the world, at one of the best hospitals in Boston.
Some of you know that she had made some decisions late last week that I respected, even if I didn't like them. When she spoke to her cardiologist yesterday, she changed her mind. I'm glad she did.
I will keep you posted. Thank you for the prayers.

Thanks to EVERYONE for your kind words, prayers and thoughts. Mom's surgery went well today, but we are still waiting a few days before we declare it a victory. For now, she's doing ok, but please keep the prayers coming. I will keep you all updated on her condition.

My entire family's prayers and thoughts are with your mom, yourself and your family. WE pray and hope all will be well and wish her a speedy recovery. Hang in there Ann, she'll be fine. God Bless.
You don't even need to ask! I am already praying for your Mom and I too, will be looking forward to your post letting us all know you received the good news that she is fine!
Waiting is the hardest thing to do. Hopefully, you will be able to stay busy to keep from going crazy!
I'm much like you on organized religion. We've talked about your mom, so you know I'm hoping with all I have for the best...
I'm sending my thoughts and prayers to both of you.
Prayers for you and your mom
I definitely believe in God and the power of prayers. You will definitely have mine. I'm looking forward to the good news from you that she's alright.

My prayers go to your mother sisters you and family. Prayers help. I had a stent put in last Thursday prayer helped me get past the worry and I believe helped the Dr. do a good job. Had to have...I'm here:)

Regardless of what “you” believe, believe in your Mom and her choices in life. I know she believes in you.
Just saw this now. I am glad it went well. It sure has to be hard not being able to be there. My prayers are with you and her for a quick recovery.
I wish her a full and speedy recovery..I will continue to pray for her...as I understand your anguish... My mom just passed away and I'm still in denial... It all happened so fast
