Sorry i've not been around lately, things have been crazy the last month or so for us. But I did want to pop in and let y'all know that DH had his surgery on Wednesday to replace his pulmonary valve. They were able to use the transcatheter pulmonary valve, meaning that instead of having a huge cut down the front of his chest, he's got a hole about the size of a ballpoint pen in his right groin. But the valve has been put in place, and it is working fabulously! He was already feeling better than he had in a long time, even when he was still laying in the hospital shortly after the surgery (he had to have one overnight stay before being released). He's healing very well, when he left the hospital his pain and soreness on a scale of 1 to 10 was about a 5, now it's more like a 1 or 2. He's taking OTC pain relievers and that's more than enough for him pain-wise. We left the hospital yesterday and he'll be fit to travel by tomorrow, so we'll be headed back to Kansas City then. I'm so glad that he feels better.
Thanks for all your T&P's throughout all of this! We both really appreciate it.
