I must say that I have a greater appreciation for nurses. I admire their desire to work so hard to make such a difference in people's lives. They have such an impact on people at some of the most powerful times in one's life and the lives of their loved ones and friends. We have some angel nurses in our lives right now and the list is so long I won't mention names in fear of missing one. You all know who you are and I am very thankful to you all. There are some who go above and beyond and Rick has quite a few of those. Then, there are the ones at home and even ones who are friends from high school who continue to help us and support us. Many thanks to all of you!
The surgeon's and cardiology team are exceptional and this U.W. facility is outstanding in patient care. I just can't say enough to cover in all the ways. Many thanks to all of you who have given Rick a new life and hence given all of those who love Rick the gift of having him continue to be in their lives. He is an inspiration to us all and you just wait.................. he will continue to surprise us as he continues this journey. I am so blessed to have this man in my life and love watching what a difference he makes in all the lives he touches. He is a great man and is an awesome patient by the way.
Thank you for continued prayers and support. (-:
