most recent update on mom,Marianne's heart 6-1-09

6-16-09
Mom is still in ICU recovering from her open heart surgery. The Dr. said she was in full congestive heart failure when she arrived and considering the complications of the 70 & 75% vein blockages that added stress to her heart it was just in time. They have replaced 1 valve and repaired another. They did 3 vein graphs that feed her heart.We expect a full recovery. But of course that is many months down the road. In the mean time I will keep you updated and report when she is strong enough to have visitors in her own hospital room. For now she is still recovering from the anesthesia and unaware of who is with her. I will be checking my e-mail at least once a day in the p.m. if you have any questions.
