Hello friends and family, we have been so lucky for all the miracles we have received thus far, and today we were blessed with yet another. Today's surgery went very well, and the doctors came out with huge smiles on their faces! They were happy to report that my mom no longer has a breathing tube in her mouth. After preforming today's operation they successfully completed the tracheotomy. This is basically a small hole in her throat that is covered by a breathing tube. Earlier today her urine out put was much less then they wanted. This gave them a slight scare because her kidneys were still functioning and nothing else appeared to be wrong. After some time they realized that there was no real problem and were able to continue on. The surgery set for Tuesday is to set my moms broken leg. Thank you once again especially for all your prayers! They seem to be working so don't stop now! We are grateful for every gift God has given us this far, and look forward to a full recovery. God Bless.

Maureen- it's hard to believe that it's only been a week since I jested and said that you should learn by my example "not to exercise" -it seems like half a year. Clearly you are the one who has the right idea- your physical and spiritual strength has proven to be unstoppable. It has simply amazed Rich and I. Although it is no surprise- Dennis, Jennifer and the O'Connor and Martin armies have been simply omnipresent, unified, strong and incredibly gracious and focused. They have all virtually wrapped Liam and Ava in bubble wrap. The Guastellos find it to be a lesson and an example to live by. We look forward to talking to you about it. XO Kathryn
Well if I didn't believe in the power of prayer before I am a full beliver now. Thank You God for helping Maureen.I would gladly give all I have for her to be okay and I prayed like never before. I will never again pray for a selfish thing again.I am humbled and grateful to God. For those of you that know me that is something.
Again thank you God.
Our hearts ache for all that Maureen and her family has been through this past week. We are thrilled to read about her amazing progress. Jenn, you write so beautifully. Your updates mean a lot and we love the pictures. Cathedral High School (your dad went there) is also praying for your mom. Love, The O'Gradys
Dennis, Jennifer,Liam and Ava, I'm so sorry for what you're going through right now. I'm delighted that Maureen is making progress She's a strong woman and she'll get through this. Stay strong and I'll be there to see you as soon as I can. Love, Steve Colette and Shane
Such wonderful encouraging news. Moe, you ARE a medical miracle and hopefully the huge circle of family, friends and fans sending their heart-felt prayers and positive energy is encouraging your speedy recovery. I will be thinking of you for your next surgery and hope you are able to communicate with your family very soon. God bless you and keep you mending quickly. I can't yet imagine the good that will come from all this - but I know there will be some for sure!

I am so glad to hear all the encouraging news. My thoughts and prayers continue to be with Maureen and the entire O'Connor/Martin family.
