Steussy Children

Moms_gonna_make_itThis photo was taken at 8:30pm Sunday night, October 25. At this point, we had for the first time substantial hope that Mom might pull through (she did, incidentally).

At Indianapolis International Airport. On the way home.

I’m going to live to be 100 if I have her genes. Dang, she’s recovering quickly.

Family members, go to the Steussy Family group page on Facebook for more details. Wow.

Flying home tomorrow with no worries.

Mom is going to be OK

Monday, October 26th, 2009

Update. We’ve met with a series of doctors this morning. After hearing Mom had 12 to 24 hours to live on Friday/Saturday, we are in an amazing place. We’re looking at a situation where Mom could be discharged from the hospital as soon as early next week. If you haven’t received the details, please email me.

Sunday with Mom

Sunday, October 25th, 2009

Mom is SO MUCH better. She is now eating and drinking, and no longer needs the oxygen mask. A picture tells a thousand words. Today is football Sunday, and Mom’s Colts are playing. Beating the St. Louis Rams right now 21 to 3.

Thank God for Skype

Saturday, October 24th, 2009

gabi_skypeI’ve now spent 24 hours in Indianapolis.

“You look older,” Gabi tells me. “I am older,” I reply. And she can see me.

For anyone who has not tried it, video Skype is one of the wonders of the universe. The legendary videophone, available for free, anywhere in the world – all you need is a webcam. I propped up my laptop in the overly-sumptuous lobby of the hospital where Mom is, and talked with Gabi (and Veronica) for half an hour. It was almost like being there.
