* We were right next to her hospital bed, trying to stay positive...but we were terrified.
Chili Pepper & Josie generally stayed IN her bed, but they also did rounds to

* Josefina's 1st heart surgery replaced her Mitral Valve & it took her over 3 yrs to recover. This heart surgery replaced her Tricuspid Valve; this time she was feeling great within 3-4 months & driving again.
