Teri Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 Saying some prayers for you and your son! Hope all goes smoothly!,,
smartyjones Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 my dad had open heart surgery last year -- obviously different causes -- he did very well in the surgery at age 75 and did very well with recovery. I see the same for your son!!
JoyBop Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 Wishing your son a successful surgery and speedy recovery, and peace to your family!
tpotter Posted June 7, 2013 Author Report Posted June 7, 2013 Surgery's over. He had the valve replaced, and I have a sample to test for bartonella. Apparently they aren't culturing it here for strep and other infections...my understanding was that that was the role of sending it off to pathology. So, now I'm at least trying to get them to look carefully at it to see if it looks like there was still active infection. So frustrating...the surgeon just doesn't get it.
airial95 Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 Happy he made it through. Continuing to pray for a quick recovery.
colleenrn Posted June 7, 2013 Report Posted June 7, 2013 I am praying for a great out come for your son. Colleen
