My dad is going in for a heart surgery today. He has a
leaky heart valve (aortic stenosis) but things have gotten worse in the last 6
months. On Friday October 30 my dad and
Dana were in Calgary for his angiogram.
They went up through his groin and his wrist to see how soon he would
need surgery, then they met with a
surgeon. After the angiogram they told
us my Dad will be booked for open heart surgery in 6-8 weeks. They told us they would like to do surgery
before Christmas.
Today my dad's having open heart surgery. The surgeons
have decided to use a muscle valve.
Muscle valves lasts 10-15 years before he would need another valve
replacement. The surgeon said my Dad is otherwise in good shape/health and that
things will be fine.
We are all praying that
all goes well with the surgery and he has a successful recovery.
