Although this blog started out as a daily update on Chris Johnson's heart surgery, I am using it now to post about the happenings in my life since Chris died. You can email me at mjmj57@bellsouth.net.

Carolyn & Reid-I'll buy your "e" and use it in Treats-because that is what we are getting today. Chris came off of the ventilator at 9am this morning. He looks great and is coughing well. Jody, his nurse said she was getting a recliner for Chris because she wants him out of bed. His breathing is sooo much easier than the last time they removed the vent. They are taking out some of the different lines-the ones in his groin so he can move about better. Dr. Puga was in to see Chris and gave a big thumbs up on his progress. He also said they would talk about turning down the Flolan (the medicine in the pump Chris wears) Chris gave a big thumbs up on that. Today will be day of Treats and surprises and hopefully no tricks. Happy Halloween everyone! MJ

Sounds wonderful! We are all so glad that Chris is progressing nicely. (Nobody said it would be easy) Yes, Chris will have to start getting up and doing his breathing exercises. The last thing he neeeds right now is to develop pneumonia. All of you are in our thought and prayers daily. Tell Chris we expect to see him back in KY at the earliest possible time! Take care. Love Annette & Dot
Dear Chis, Mary Jo, Carolyn,
This is just the best news we have heard. Way to go Chris!!!!
We are all praying for you daily and love getting reports like this.
We love you, Frankie and Chuck
Guess he took my dare about getting up and cancelling my vote. Glad to hear the good news. It's only going to get better.

GOLLY!!!!!!! This is great, just as I knew would happen, it is very apparent that he is truly a fighter and that is what it takes. So delighted and am so glad we have had this site! I check often to get the updates, then pass them on to several others. My prayer are still lifted daily. Anne
Good news Mary Jo. Sounds like you are doing a good job of nursing Chris back to health. Keep it up!
