Rachel's surgery

Hi all:

To let everyone know, we leave for Shands on Tuesday evening in order to be over for Rachel's pre-op appointment at 8:00 a.m. on Wednesday morning.  We should find out later Wednesday evening what time to be over there for her surgery on Thursday.
The surgery is for Dr. Bleweis, the same surgeon from last time, to replace the pulmonary valve that he replaced five years ago due to leakage and narrowing.  This is not unexpected as he told us after her last surgery that it would need to be replaced.  Also, he plans on sealing off at least a couple of holes in her heart that they have purposely left open in the past.
We would like to encourage everyone to post any comments. Post comments  in the post comment section and then click post comment to post it.
