    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. :cry: 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

    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.
