SherryMH's blog: "My Mother"

I just got home from my mother's appointment. He said without the surgery Mother wouldn't live much longer at all. He is not sure if he can find an aortic vein to graph from, but he is going to try. So the surgery has to happen in the next couple of weeks. She goes to the cardiologist tomorrow afternoon to insure her heart is strong enough, then surgery will be scheduled. He did tell us that this surgery is VERY complicated and he is not sure if she will make it through, BUT with surgery there is a chance she will live. He can't offer any more assurance than that, but we will take it! It's something. We could have walked in there to be told he wouldn't try surgery and she doesn't have much time. We will take the risk. She is with my sister right now and will be coming here tomorrow to stay a few days.
