busy weekend

Sorry, I know I have a lot of updating to do.

Michael is doing much better recovering from the MRI his head swelling has gone down and we are almost back to 100%.

We will get the full report today. Dr. K called us on Friday to give brief overview. He said that Michael's LPA and RPA are small (as they knew before) This will have to be repaired, he thinks it can wait until the next open heart but will be monitored closely. If not he thinks it would just require a trip to the Cath Lab for them to put in shunts.

He was pleased with Mick's Aorta and will continue to watch it. We will get more detail today and update. He did say he was not too surprised by anything that he saw.


Michael had a great relaxing weekend and was glad to stay home to get caught up with rest.


Poor Uncle Sean was rushed to the Hospital on Sat. night. he had to have his Apendix taken out at 1 A.M. Sean is such a trooper he had been living with incredible pain for five days and thought it was just his IBS. Then his dr. advised him to go to the hospital and sure enough he had to get is apendix taken out. He was in the hospital for two days and now is with my parents recovering.
We were so happy to hear Sean is doing much better and is only in a little bit of pain.

I was very worried and said I was going to go up to see him. He said after what Mick has been through this is nothing, I am fine! We look forward to see him next weekend at my cousin Brian's graduation party. Hopefully he is fully recovered!

Sorry have to run to work I have so much more to update on Mick's bday party and this past weekend! Mick met Cousin Cole, had his first BBQ, and trip to CP zoo.


Love to all

No more Connolly emergency surgeries! Goodness!

But glad to hear that everyone is doing well and recovering/relaxing again.

Grandpa Tom Connolly would be so happy that Sean got his apendix out -- there is a "Connolly apendix curse" you know!!
So glad that Mick is doing well -- can't wait to see all of you in Ct. next weekend!
Love to all - Nancy

The Connolly's have had enough medical dramas. Let's hope that after Ed gets his bionic knees and Michael has his next surgery we'll all be healthy for a long time.
Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers for Sean. He's a very good patient.
Love to all.

It was so wonderful to have all of you at Brian's party. What a great time Michael and Cole had playing in the pool. Just want you to know that Michael is even cuter in person! You are wonderful people.

Love and God bless,
