I just got word from my sister that my Dad's valve is leaking very badly. He has had 3 open heart surgeries for blockages from 42-64 ... he is 71 now. Due to all the scar tissue, and the aneurysm repair on his aorta, he cannot be operated on with out them cracking his chest open again. and that is IF the surgeon is willing to do it... if not, he will deteriorate over the course of the next 5 years until he dies....he is normally active, but the leaking valve has slowed him way down... I am not going to lie to you all ...I am scared ...please pray for him
I will keep your family in my daily prayers. Hate hearing these things. Sent from my SCH-R970 using Tapatalk
Maybe its time for a new doctor, ST, Vincents or Hamot hospitals, both in Erie have the best in the world when it comes to heart doctors, The De Angelo's, perfected and trained a bunch of super skilled hearth surgeons, check them out, its not far from you, best of luck to both of you.
Thank you everyone.... I will keep you all updated Jim, I will want a second opinion if they say no...I just don't know if I can convince my stubborn Dad
