sorry I didn't ask before - is she OK? Still in hospital I presume? Go and have a sleep - it's not going to do anyone any good if you collapse too.
Thank you. Yes, she is still in hospital, and she should be just fine. They have now put in a second stent and scraped back some fibrous tissue from another valve and it held, so that's a good thing. They are pretty sure she won't need heart surgery, only if that 3rd valve doesn't hold, but her heart beat is irregular now, but they say that can be fixed once she gets a bit stronger. They said 3 surgeries in 2 days is as much as they want to do at the moment. She is in good hands, as am I. It was just a bit of a shock for her husband and her sons and the husband wasn't handling things very well as it was the first time she has ever been sick like this, but he is sleeping now, and so should be able to handle things a lot better once he has had a good rest. By the time the sun comes up, all of their sons will have arrived, she should be looking better and things will look a lot brighter.
isn't it wonderfull what they can do these days? Best wishes to you all.
