Yesterday we were supposed to have met with the surgeon at 11:30am so I made my schedule around this ....but they called and rescheduled for today at 9am....I was able to move some of my audits around so I could make the 9am slot today....but they rescheduled AGAIN until 11:am as the surgeon had emergency surgery this morning....I was able to reschedule another audit so I can make the 11am one.... So we HOPEFULLY will not be rescheduled again and I will be able to report back to you all by this afternoon....keep praying!
My Dad is being sent to the Cleveland Clinic where Dr. Svensson will perform his open heart ...90% success rate ...check out that dude's credentials.. Lars Svensson, MD, PhD - Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, Cleveland Clinic
The guy seems like a rock star! I am so glad he will be caring for my Dad as he has stage 3 kidney failure as well and this guy, well here is a quote from his page: " He specializes in adult cardiac surgery; cardio-aortic and aortic surgery, including combined valve and aneurysm surgery; minimally invasive mitral and aortic valve surgery; mitral and aortic valve repair operations (including bicuspid valve repairs and modified David Reimplantation operation), blood conservation; prevention of stroke and paralysis after aortic surgery.....Dr. Svensson has contributed to advances in protecting the brain, spinal cord, and kidneys during major cardiac and aortic surgery and has been instrumental in developing minimally invasive keyhole surgery."
Heading to Cleveland for Dad to get operated on .... core valve ,,, The good news is that in 2 weeks he will be able to resume normal activities...please pray all goes well....and much thanks for all of you that have been praying all along
SUCCESS!!!!!! Waiting to see Dad ... Doc said everything went as well as could be expected. This valve was used because it wa any dad's ONLY option due to it's size and the aneurysm repair...we got briefed about how this could go wrong on so many levels.....but it went great! Thanks to you all that prayed and thank you to our Lord and Savior for his answer to prayers
