My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

OT - My son's surgery

17 years ago

Since several of you were aware my son was having an arterial bypass, I thought I would let you know the outcome.

Surgery was a great SUCCESS!!!!!

He had the surgery Friday morning. They had to bypass over 8" of artery in his arm. I just had to grab his right hand as soon as he got out of recovery. It was warm for the first time since he left the house July 13th.

He was released from the hospital Saturday morning. (A little quickly in Mom's opinion.) He went straight from the hospital to a crawfish boil. I had warned him to just stop by for a short time. However, he decided to stay until after dark. Yesterday and today, he's been tired and little more sore than expected. But, he did what he wanted and not what Mom advised!
