She was born with pulmonary valve disorder, and she's having a heart cath & stents put in Friday to prepare for open heart surgery #3 to replace her donor heart valve in June. At that time, they may also put a pacemaker in. It's in Jacksonville, which is an 8 hour drive for us, and my family won't be able to make it down for this (we'll be there for the surgery in June!). She has had heart caths before, so luckily she knows what to expect.

Thanks so much! smile

Thanks, Pale. smile

Everything went well. Before they did the procedure, they were going to keep her over night to monitor the stents, but everything went so well they let her go home at 6:30 yesterday. She was kinda bummed. She was going to get ice cream, video games, and a boy-free night. At home, it's her and four boys. laugh

Thanks, yall. One can never thank others enough for prayers.

GOOD: I just found out today from my brother that my niece ended up not needing stents (I was getting my info from my ex-sil, so I guess she left this stuff out). Also, her valve is doing better than they expected.

DOWN: One of her lungs is diseased. They don't know yet exactly what it is, so of course they're going to be testing. Also, she's going to be using one of those in-the-nose oxygen thingies (technical term right there) at night when she sleeps so her lungs can get a break.

I'll keep yall posted. frown

My brother's here and he was telling me that the cardiac team is meeting about Emily today and tomorrow (including her old cardiologist in Atlanta via conference call). They're looking back over all of her records from the time they found her pulmonary valve disorder in the womb to see if there was anything they've missed or anything that could have caused her lung problems. It's reassuring knowing that she has such a wonderful team of doctors.

Thanks for all of the prayers, folks.
