I know many of you were waiting an update last night. I apologize. I did speak to the Dr. but really did not know anything new until I spoke with the Surgeons office this morning.
They (the cardiologists and surgeon) did confirm that surgery is required. We currently have it scheduled for Weds, Nov 12th, with her pre-op on Monday, Nov 10th. The 11th is Veteran's day. We have requested that they move her up if at all possible. So we will have to wait on a cancellation.
We still do not yet know what they are exactly going to do. All they would say is ‘repair’ it. What that means is anyone’s guess, but it seems to leave a wide array of options. We have an appointment with the Surgeon next Friday so we should know the full scope of the surgery and the heart situation then.
As far as scaring, they were trying to see if they could do what was a bikini cut – which follows the bra line under the breast as opposed to the long vertical scar down the chest, however they said that this scar would actually be worse. But… he did say they will plan on making what they call a mini-incision. Likely this is still not pretty, but I guess better than the larger one. Marki will now have a new conversation piece on the beach.
So for now, we are still waiting on more information. Please continue to pray for peace and rest.
Love you guys,
Mary ….and Mark…
