Hi our dear friends,
WE ARE HOME!!!!! Three days in the CDU was about three days too long for
both of us! We will go back Monday for a CT of Jerry's heart. Then, Thursday,
we have an appointment with the surgeon in Atlanta for a consultation and we'll
schedule surgery, at that time. This surgeon did my brother's triple by-pass a
couple years ago and is very good. Surgery will be performed at
Emory-Crawford Long Hospital, downtown Atlanta.
The heart cath confirmed the findings of the echocardiogram; the aortic
valve is not working and there is an aneurysm there. Our cardiologist said the
surgery didn't have to be performed today or tomorrow but it must be done
soon. Jerry is quite perturbed that he has been so cautious to exercise, eat
properly and take good care of his body - and now this! The doctors keep
reminding him, had he not done that, "things" could be much worse!
We appreciate all the calls, emails, texts and, most especially, prayers!
We have always known we have wonderful friends and you are proving it, once
again! Please, continue to keep Jerry in your prayers and I will update, when
surgery is scheduled.
With love,
Charlyne
