MICKEY UPDATE
We made the 130 mile trip back to Oklahoma City VA on October 31st for Mickey's
follow-up on his double bi-pass heart surgery. We left the house around 6 a.m. and were there by 8:30. First to the lab for blood work, then to EKG , and then for an x-ray of the heart. We also had an appointment with the Heart Rehab person who we were suppose to see before he was ever released from the hospital but since he was discharged on Columbus Day which was a holiday we didn't get it. We were happy to learn that the care and things we had been doing the past 3 weeks were correct :o) !!!After these tests were done he had a 10:30 appointment with the Heart surgeon.
Here he is with the adorable PCA, Bethany, who was the first person to talk to us on our first visit, back on September 12th, about having the surgery and was the person today who read all the reports and examined him.Everything was perfect!!! The picture of his heart is perfect, his EKG read just as they wanted it to, his lungs are clear & healthy, and his blood work was all good, except the kidney was a little high but nothing that concerned them. 
This isn't a very good picture, due to the sun glare, but this shows him leaving with his newly repaired heart and a clean bill of health. HALLELUJAH
This is Mickey as we began his first outside walk. We were to start walking at 5 minutes a day and gradually add to it each day until he is walking at least 30 minutes. Yesterday we walked 14 minutes. We are adding a minute or 2 a day. The weather here has been delightful and making it very easy for us. As it gets too cold we will begin going to Wal-M*mart to walk.Thanks again to all who prayed for us, and especially with us, during this path. We are only 2 days shy of it being one month since his surgery.
JESUS is our healer...and He uses Doctors and He supplied us with the very best!

Horray to good health!!! God is the best healer isn't He???
I am glad you is doing better.
What an answer to our prayers. Thanks for the update, I've been so curious to know. I even had a dream that we talked on the phone. Maybe one day soon we'll have to do that.
Praising God with you for the great report.
