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.

We just left Chris for the evening. He seemed comfortable and was quiet. The great thing is that although his heart rate is still high, about 114-he is in a normal sinus rhythm. His p-waves were regular. (whatever that means) The nurse showed me on the monitor what she was talking about-I knew it was good because the nurses clapped when they saw it! Chris really likes the swabs soaked in cold water. I told the nurse he would have me soaking swabs and putting them in his mouth all night if he could. I told Carolyn I probably needed to change my name to "Swabbie." Seriously, Chris is stable, his heart rate and blood pressure are good. Tomorrow may bring a few small changes, but for right now he is comfortable and doing well. Thanks for all of the prayers and words of encouragemant. Take Care. Mary Jo (a.k.a -Swabbie)

Hi Chris, Jo and Carolyn,
We are praying that today brings more good news. May God continue a healing hand on Chris. You are in our thoughts always.
Love and prayers,

Good morning! I am unsure what
'p-waves' are, however I am delighted that the nurses were clapping. Thank you for taking such good care of Chris 'Swabbie'. We look forward to your next update on today's progress.
Lots of love,
Carolyn and Reid
