This is fantastic news to start a weekend, Paul! Your mum's in my prayers, as are you, for continued positive progress


Terry - what an awesome guy!

Glad she’s ok. My mom has been fighting cancer for 5 years and it’s been pretty nasty. I feel your pain.

Thank you all so much for the kind words. My moms heart has been sinus rhythm for over 50 hours, Pulse and BP normal, and she is coming home tonight. She is tired but we are all relieved


Oh I’ll end up getting that car someday, but the first person I am going to take for a ride is my alive-and-well mother.

So sorry your mother had to go through all those procedures and anxiety. You’ve been brought up right and the attention you paid to your mother will come back to bless you many times. As to the MKC be thankful you’re not in it yet. Mine started with an MKZ which led to an MKC and now Continental . Now I want to Continental with all the tech package . Heads up display yes!!!
