Katrina in Surgery


Katrina got checked into Vanderbilt yesterday and met the the MS doctors prior to today’s surgery. She spent a restless night, but was in good spirits this morning as they prepped her for surgery. She rolled off toward the surgery theater about five minutes ahead of schedule. The doctor said that the main aortic valve will clearly need replacement, but her other leaking valve will need little or no repair. It’s not as bad as first thought, and repairing the main aortic valve will take pressure off the others. He said he might “tighten it up a little” while he’s in there. Her surgery should be starting anytime now, and I’ll post an undate later in the day. Thank you for your prayer.
