 My Heart Be Happy

Location: Arkansas | We found out today that Daddy's heart valve replacement surgery is Monday. He's 72 and always been healthy as can be. Not on any medications or anything. We're all scared of course; we have been thru many many heart bypass surgeries with other members of my family, but valves are new to us. I absolutely loved his surgeon, and I've not said that about a doctor in a very long time. The best thing tho was his confidence---made Momma, Daddy, and I feel much better. As usual since I found this site, I'm coming to you prayerful people with loving hearts and asking for y'all to lift my Daddy up. I'm a Daddy's girl and selfish in that even at my age I want my Daddy here with me. For all intents and purposes, he's Chandler's daddy too---we all still need him. I appreciate all of you that will pray (and I bet I can name to the person who you'll be) for him and remember our family in your thoughts. God bless you all. . . . |

| Prayers My trainer's dad had to have aneurysm surgery a couple of years ago. He was about 82. Surgeon was very confident. There was one part that we all had to laugh about. He had had surgery of a hernia years before and had some kind of mesh put in. The surgeon said it was like trying to sew leather. Pretty funny and really took the weight off the situation. I am sure everything will go smoothly. |

Location: Arkansas | Thank you all so much, coming here always makes me feel better. I will keep you posted. Daddy goes tomorrow for pre-op and one final test to check for a calcium buildup above the valve. I told him I had y'all praying for him and he smiled--my family believes overwhelmingly in the power of prayer. Again, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. . . . |
