We are home and know nothing. No mass in either right chamber of her heart
according to the doc today and there was nothing swinging in the current
to get. He has no idea what the docs saw last week as none of that is
true according to him. He says the thing is totally on the outside of
her heart and pressing on the right side. Says he has no opinions on
treatment and that we need to get back with the cardiac surgeon when he
is back sometime late next week.
So, while the news is good that nothing is internally in her heart, we are no closer to getting that needed sample for pathology. We are also not sure, based on what this guy today said, whether the whole other surgery plan of stopping her heart, putting her on the heart/lung machine, etc., is now necessary.
The whole deal is weird and very stressful.

Stressful, indeed, but maybe some good news. Sounds as if it might be better than they thought at first.
ReplyDeleteI think so.
ReplyDeleteWhat Bill said. Hope this thing gets cleared up fast so you folks can relax a bit.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Randy. Me too.
ReplyDeleteThere's got to be a stronger word than "weird" for this, but I don't know what it could be. Astonishing, for sure. Again, Kevin, I can't express how sorry I am that your family is going through all this. I think of all of you often. Hoping for the best at next appointment.
ReplyDeleteWeird and stressful, that's for certain. Hope they're able to get on this, figured out and taken care of soon!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jan. Seems to be back to square one on this deal.
ReplyDeleteAppreciate it, Terry. It just goes on and on and on....
ReplyDeleteContinuing to keep you all in my prayers, Kevin. Y'all are long, long overdue some good news & I'm praying it comes ASAP!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Kay. That we are.
