Dear Friends,
Yesterday, we spent the day at Emory Hospital, Midtown Atlanta, with surgeons, doctors, nurses, techs, etc. We are to "report" to the hospital on Friday, May 18th, at 5:30 AM for surgery, as the surgeon is not available until that date. Surgery will consist of removing the aneurysm and replacing the aortic valve. Jerry did his pre-op, except for one blood test (which must be done nearer the date of surgery), while we were there. Should he have any of the symptoms, which he experienced previously, he is to, immediately, get to our local E.R. and they would air-lift him down to Emory and one of our surgeon's partners would do an emergency surgery. Jerry is to do NOTHING until this is repaired on the 18th. His spirits are positive but he is not one to do nothing and that is a big problem for him!
We both appreciate all the phone calls, cards, emails and, most especially, prayers. I will keep you up-dated, as we progress through this process. Please, continue your prayers for Jerry and his medical team.
Fondly,
Charlyne
