**Wednesday night update on MFM**

Last night, Kali reported that MFM's echocardiogram showed a leak around his new valve. I know I felt very upset at this, and MFM also reported to me tonight that he was extremely discouraged upon hearing this too.

Wait.

Today, they did a different sort of scan, down his throat, to look at his heart from inside his esophagus. It's a great way to see the heart without being invasive.

They saw a very minimal leak, much less than they'd feared. It doesn't need any surgical correction!

So, now he's out in a telemetry unit, with a nice single room............AND: His very own bathroom!

He should be going home very soon.

He asked me to say "HI" to all of you!

Hey, it's great to see you checking in!

How are you doing???

I was just thinking about you today, and wondering how your recovery is going.

I hope you're well!

Sorry to have scared you about MFM!

Next time you talk to him, tell the ol' goat to hurry up and get better. His comedy shoes are a bit too big to fill.

I expected it to go;


So, now he's out in a telemetry unit, with a nice single room............AND: His very own bathroom!

He should be going TO THE BATHROOM very soon.




Totally understandable, that one would expect you to report on that. You know. Given the subject.
