Standing In for Dottie

I am tonight's guest blogger for Dottie. I am her husband, Joey, and she had a procedure done on her heart today. It was done through her femoral artery and would have been a outpatient procedure. She thought that she was going to be able to go home but when the final blood pressure check was taken while she was standing, the blood pressure dropped and she felt light headed. They will keep her overnight and we will come home first thing in the morning. The procedure itself was a total success and the cardiologist thinks that once she is fully recovered, she could be cured of migraines. We are all very thankful for the wonderful thoughts and prayers and appreciate all of our family and friends that have helped Dottie during all of the medical procedures that have occurred this month. We had the best medicine ever with both of her children by her side and Chris and Christen have been wonderful. I want to take this moment to say Thank You to all of the men and women serving in the armed forces, their families and friends that are keeping the homefires burning and may God Bless them and may God Bless the United States of America. Dottie will return to her regular posting tomorrow.

Sincerely,

Joey San Martin

Joey you are a great stand in!! Thanks for letting us know about Dottie's procedure. I am ever so thankful that she is doing well. My prayers for continued healing and that the migraines are gone forever. Nothing heals a Mother's heart better than having her children and husband by her side. God Bless You All!

Love and Prayers,

Thank you for taking the time out to fill us in. I am very glad that she has made it through the surgery and that she had both of her children safely by her side. I know that in itself made a world of difference. Will continue to keep your family in my prayers.
God speed,
Barb
