SharivilleLife stories from Shari

Hello, our prayers are answered in part, and we have been blessed with a truly wonderful heart surgeon.  He is a renowned open heart and heart transplant surgeon, one of the best in the United States.  Jerry’s surgery is scheduled for Nov 12, 09, in the afternoon.  He will replace an aortic valve and possibly the top end of the aorta, very tricky, and do another bypass of one vessel.  The Dr. is Michael Mack, and he’s also a nice guy.  The surgery will be at Baylor Heart Hospital not too far from Angie’s.  The hospital also has an excellent  reputation for heart surgery.  We are feeling better now that we know whats going to be done and when, we can now make plans for our obviously long stay here with the kids. Both Angie and Tommy have been beyond belief, helpful. Jerry is feeling more relaxed tonight and in good spirits.  I know he’s uptight but he would be crazy not to be. After talking to this physician, he is so confident and self assured that he made us all feel better.  Thanks again for all the support and prayers and all my facebook buddies too.  Tomorrow I will follow with some really good and uplifting events going on here.                Hugs,           S and J
